The modern agricultural landscape is fraught with challenges: rising global food demand, unpredictable weather patterns, and increasing scrutiny on environmental sustainability. Farmers today are tasked with producing more, using fewer resources, and doing so in a way that minimises harm to the planet. Brandon Bioscience is at the forefront of this transformation, offering advanced biostimulant solutions designed to meet these demands head-on. Derived from the highly bioactive Ascophyllum nodosum, our products leverage cutting-edge biotechnology to address key farming challenges such as yield losses, stress tolerance, and resource inefficiencies. By equipping farmers with innovative tools such as SEALICIT®, BLOCSAL®, and PSI®362, we are enabling a new era of sustainable, high-performance agriculture.
SEALICIT®: Securing Yields Through Pod Shatter Reduction
Pod shattering is more than an inconvenience; it is a critical issue for farmers growing oilseed rape and soybeans, with potential harvest losses of up to 25%. This problem not only reduces profitability but also increases the complexity of crop rotations due to the proliferation of volunteer plants. SEALICIT®, powered by PSI®759 Precision Technology, offers a targeted solution to this challenge by enhancing the structural integrity of pods. By strengthening genetic pathways responsible for pod wall stability, SEALICIT® helps farmers protect their yields, ensuring uniform ripening and higher-quality harvests.
Results Achieved with SEALICIT®:
- Average Yield Increase: Over 110 field trials demonstrated a 4.5% average yield improvement, highlighting the product’s consistent performance.
- Harvest Quality: Delayed pod-shattering enabled farmers to achieve uniform and fully ripened harvests, enhancing both quality and marketability.
- Improved Field Hygiene: Reduced volunteer plants simplified crop rotations, saving farmers time and effort.
- Profitability Boost: Farmers reported better control over harvest timing, minimising wastage and maximising profits.

PSI®362: Maximising Efficiency in Nitrogen Use
Nitrogen is one of the most vital nutrients for crop development, but its inefficient use poses significant environmental and financial challenges. Current agricultural practices see up to 65% of nitrogen fertilisers lost to leaching or gaseous emissions, resulting in wasted resources and harmful environmental impacts. PSI®362 addresses this inefficiency by enhancing nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), enabling plants to absorb and utilise nitrogen more effectively. This revolutionary biostimulant allows farmers to maintain high yields while reducing nitrogen inputs by up to 25%, aligning profitability with sustainability.
Results Achieved with PSI®362:
- Improved NUE: Field trials recorded a 22–33% improvement in nitrogen use efficiency, significantly reducing fertiliser waste.
- Consistent Yield Improvements: Crops like wheat, barley, and grass maintained stable yields even under reduced nitrogen input regimes.
- Environmental Benefits: Enhanced nitrogen uptake decreased nitrous oxide emissions, supporting eco-friendly farming practices.
- Cost Efficiency: Farmers save on fertiliser costs without sacrificing productivity.

BLOCSAL®: Thriving in Salinity-Stressed Conditions
Soil salinity is a persistent challenge for farmers, particularly in regions where irrigation water quality exacerbates salt accumulation. High salinity disrupts the balance of nutrients, reducing water uptake and stalling plant growth. BLOCSAL®, designed with PSI®475 Precision Technology, empowers crops to thrive under these conditions. By improving the potassium-to-sodium ratio within plant cells, BLOCSAL® promotes better water retention and nutrient absorption, ensuring healthy growth even in saline soils. This breakthrough technology helps farmers reclaim productivity from degraded soils while enhancing the marketable quality of their crops.
Results Achieved with BLOCSAL®:
- Higher Yields: Trials on tomatoes and grapes demonstrated a 23% increase in marketable yields under saline irrigation.
- Improved Quality: Fruits showed higher °Brix levels and enhanced titratable acidity, boosting sweetness and overall quality.
- Resilient Crops: Treated plants exhibited better water retention and nutrient uptake, ensuring consistent growth under high salinity.
- Profitability Gains: Farmers achieved better crop resilience and improved returns even in challenging environments.

Seed Technology: Setting the Stage for Growth
The foundation of a successful crop season lies in the critical early stages of seed germination and seedling development. A strong start not only determines plant vigour but also impacts the final yield. Brandon Bioscience’s seed treatment primes seeds for optimal performance, enhancing their ability to germinate robustly and grow under stress. By equipping seeds with greater resistance to salinity and other abiotic challenges, it ensures that farmers can establish healthier crops from the very beginning, paving the way for higher productivity and improved resilience.
Results Achieved with Brandon Bioscience’s Seed Technology:
- Yield Increases: Farmers reported an 8% improvement in soybean yields, thanks to better pod counts and seed development.
- Enhanced Germination: Treated seeds demonstrated higher germination rates and greater seedling biomass, particularly in saline soils.
- Stronger Plants: Improved root and shoot development reduced transplant shock and ensured higher survival rates.
BARRAMAR®: Delivering Balanced Growth
Achieving the perfect balance between nutrient uptake, stress tolerance, and yield quality is one of the greatest challenges in modern farming. While traditional fertilisers provide nutrients, they often fall short of optimising how plants utilise these resources, especially under stress. BARRAMAR®, developed with PSI® Technology, bridges this gap by enhancing micronutrient efficiency and activating physiological pathways that support balanced growth. This ensures that farmers can achieve not just higher yields but also superior crop quality, even in the face of adverse conditions.
Results Achieved with BARRAMAR®:
- Yield Boosts: Across 207 trials, farmers reported an average yield increase of 21.2%, with a 90% success rate.
- Quality Gains: Fruits and vegetables treated with Barramar® showed up to a 20% improvement in °Brix levels, enhancing sweetness and marketability.
- Stress Resilience: Abiotic stress tolerance mechanisms ensured consistent growth in less-than-ideal conditions.

ISKAMAR®: Ensuring Resilience Against Water Scarcity
Water scarcity is one of the most pressing issues facing global agriculture, threatening yields and profitability in drought-prone regions. Crops require efficient water-use strategies to survive and thrive under limited irrigation conditions. ISKAMAR®, powered by PSI®433 Precision Technology, addresses this challenge by optimising plants’ water uptake and retention mechanisms. By improving relative water content (RWC) and overall drought tolerance, ISKAMAR® helps farmers safeguard yields and reduce their reliance on scarce water resources, ensuring sustainable production even during dry spells.
Results Achieved with ISKAMAR®:
- Drought Resistance: Potato farmers reported a 15.4% yield increase during severe drought conditions.
- Improved Water Retention: Crops treated with ISKAMAR® retained higher RWC, demonstrating superior drought resilience.
- Water Savings: Significant irrigation water savings were achieved without sacrificing crop performance.

MARTELLO®: Overcoming Heat Stress
Rising global temperatures pose a severe threat to agricultural productivity, with heat stress during critical growth stages like flowering and fruit set leading to significant yield losses. For crops exposed to extreme heat, maintaining productivity requires targeted solutions that bolster thermotolerance. MARTELLO®, with PSI® Technology, a cutting-edge biostimulant, enhances the physiological mechanisms that protect crops from heat damage. By improving pollen viability and activating heat shock proteins, MARTELLO® ensures better flower retention, fruit set, and ultimately, higher yields during periods of extreme heat.
Results Achieved with MARTELLO®:
- Higher Yields: Tomato trials recorded significant increases in flower retention and fruit set under heat stress.
- Enhanced Crop Quality: Improved pollen viability contributed to more uniform fruit development.
- Consistent Productivity: Farmers achieved stable yields despite extreme heat conditions.
Modern farming requires solutions that balance productivity, profitability, and sustainability. Brandon Bioscience is committed to addressing these needs with advanced biostimulants that deliver proven, measurable results.
