Mosaic Crop Nutrition
At Mosaic, we’re committed to improving your yields, sustainably. Providing the most powerful advanced crop nutrition products possible. Getting you information and insights and sharing knowledge and practices to make each year’s results an improvement over the last. From planting, to spraying, to monitoring, growers are leveraging every new technology available to them to maximize and sustain crop potential. Yet, the more we learn about the soil-plant microbiome relationship, the more certain we become that the greatest potential for increased yield and ROI lies in the subtle, complex and powerful interactions beneath the surface.

Markets
Crop protection marketing companies can benefit from our unique screening platform to develop new products with wide action range against plant pathogen targets.
Bio-stimulants developing companies can scientifically validate their fortification products to commercialize compounds and mixtures that are proven to be better than products currently in the market.
Plant breeding companies, especially the seed industry can have access to traits that confer novel resistance to plant pest and pathogens.
Mission and Vision
Plant Response Biotech business strategy is derived from its core competences: a robust and dynamic team, a future strong intellectual property position and a relevant network of strategic alliances with academic and industry research teams, which are the current world-leaders in the strategic area of crop protection.
Our scientific background is based on cutting edge technologies developed throughout years of research. The company focuses on the discovery and commercialization of technologies and agricultural traits to reach a sustainable crop protection that meets the market needs.
The preventive application of some pathogen-derived molecules
(elicitors) to crop plants results in plant “vaccination” enhancing the natural resistance to pathogens upon infection. The identification and characterization of plant receptors enables the generation of novel crop varieties with improved resistance to pathogens and therefore, better performance.
Our vision is to develop products and traits from the laboratory to the greenhouse or the field. Our products and traits are routinely trialed under production conditions to guarantee meeting grower and end consumer needs.
Technology
Advances in Plant Innate Immunity have been impressive during the last 5 years. Among the breakthroughs in this area, the discovery of the capacity of plants to specifically recognize pathogens by membrane resident receptors that bind molecules from the pathogen surface (Elicitors) should be remarked. This specific recognition triggers the plant innate immunity system activation, enhancing plant resistance to pathogen infection.
The preventive application to crop plants of elicitors result in plant “vaccination” enhancing the natural resistance to pathogens upon infection. The identification and characterization of plant Receptors enables the generation of novel crop varieties with improved resistance to pathogens and therefore, better performance.
“Plant vaccination” by plant pre- immunization with elicitors is a natural and robust resistance mechanism that has not been yet exploited in the crop protection field. The environmental and health rules and the social demands for a safer and environmental friendly agriculture offer a unique opportunity for the development of this technology.
Plant Response Biotech business mainly focuses in exploiting the Innate Immunity technology in crop protection.
To do so, we will work in two main research areas:
1.- The identification of novel elicitors, in order to use them as inducers in Crop Protection.
2.- The identification and characterization of Receptors and downstream components for Plant Breeding programs to generate resistant varieties in crops of interest.
Product Development
The company has launched its first-in-class elicitor after completion of the field/greenhouse tests for proving wide pathogen resistance and yield increase in garlic and pepper. Crop protection and distribution companies interested in introducing our novel products to their markets please contact us.
Proof of Concept in Plants
We are developing a high throughput state of the art model plant validation platform, with a capacity for validating over 1,000 products per year. Validation in target crops (e.g. garlic, pepper, tomato) is carried out in real production conditions both in field and greenhouse trials to guarantee the success and yield performance.
Crop protection and distribution companies interested in screening or validating their products by our please contact us.
