Pre-Harvest Inputs

Feed the plant, defend the crop.

CropXtend combines organic fertilisation and biopesticide action in a single system, derived from shrimp shell waste. It's available as biofertiliser and biopesticide, applied via foliar spray, soil drench or seed treatment — covering the full crop cycle from soil preparation to post-harvest protection.

Problems it solves

Real challenges. Bigger risks.

From rising input costs to stricter regulations and post-harvest losses, conventional crop inputs are becoming harder to rely on.

Price volatility and supply disruption of synthetic nitrogen fertilisers

Increasing regulatory restrictions on synthetic pesticides in EU and export markets

Post-harvest crop losses to fungal decay, mould and weight loss

Demand for organic-certification-compliant inputs with proven efficacy

How it works

Plant nutrition and protection, from soil to shelf.

  • Delivers organic nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and amino acids while improving soil structure
  • Activates the plant’s own defence enzymes, building resistance to fungal and bacterial infection
  • Forms a physical film barrier on plant surfaces that inhibits spore adhesion
  • Post-harvest: reduces moisture loss, delays ripening, suppresses microbial growth
Why it's better

More yield. More certainty.

Organic certification compliant

Natural origin, biodegradable, non-toxic

Proven yield improvements

10–42% across more than 20 commercial crops

Stable input cost

Not linked to fossil fuel or fertiliser trade volatility

Supports ESG reporting

Helps meet sustainability goals for export-market buyers
