Quilatum

QUILATUM – Natural Biostimulant Substance for Strengthening Cell Walls

Features

QUILATUM is a natural substance for use as a biostimulant (SNUB), authorized for sale by the European Union and produced from plant extracts derived from plants’ secondary metabolism: terpenoids, alcohols, aldehydes and other natural compounds. This product falls under decree n°2016-532 of April 27, 2016, which governs the authorization of plant extracts in Europe, and it is suitable for organic farming, in accordance with EC Regulation 834/2007.

Regulatory clarification: as an SNUB, no specific commercial claims may be made about QUILATUM. The information below describes the general properties of the plant extracts in its composition.

QUILATUM’s action is characterized primarily by:

1. Strengthening plant cell walls, contributing to the structural integrity of plant tissues.
2. Supporting the plant’s healing properties, particularly useful when the plant faces external stressors.
3. Providing mineral elements essential to vegetative growth, particularly zinc, a trace element involved in nucleic acid synthesis, as an enzyme cofactor and in the metabolism of auxins (plant growth hormones).

QUILATUM is particularly relevant during periods of biotic stress, especially when facing aphid pressure, a situation in which strengthening plant tissues and supporting cellular metabolism are especially important. The product is also indicated for correcting zinc deficiency, a trace element that frequently limits growth in many crops.

The product is available in two sizes: 1 liter and 5 liters, allowing orders to be tailored to the area to be treated and the needs of the farm.

Precautions for use and application recommendations

Using QUILATUM requires certain precautions to ensure both user safety and product effectiveness:

1. Do not ingest the product, and wash and dry hands thoroughly after each use.
2. Shake bottles well before each use to make the formulation homogeneous.
3. Perform a compatibility test before mixing with other products, an essential precaution before combining products in a spray tank.
4. Avoid mixing with strong acids, particularly sulfuric acid, nitric acid and phosphoric acid, which may affect the product’s effectiveness or stability.
5. Use water at a moderate temperature, between 18 and 25°C, for foliar applications to optimize absorption of the product by the plant.
6. Store the product at a temperature between 5 and 25°C to preserve the stability of its formulation over time.

Although simple, these recommendations are crucial for ensuring optimal product effectiveness in the field, particularly during the most sensitive periods of the crop cycle, especially when facing aphid pressure or an identified need to correct zinc deficiency.

Natural composition

A composition based on three complementary plant extracts

QUILATUM combines three plants known for their abundance of compounds derived from secondary metabolism:

1. Pinus sylvestris (Scots pine), a source of terpenoids with recognized natural properties in the plant kingdom.
2. Cinnamomum zeylanicum (Ceylon cinnamon), providing complementary aromatic and active compounds.
3. Citrus auranticum (Bitter orange), contributing alcohols, aldehydes and other molecules derived from the plant’s secondary metabolism.

This combination of three plant extracts, rich in terpenoids, alcohols and aldehydes, as well as mineral elements such as zinc, enables QUILATUM to act on several aspects of plant cellular function, particularly when the plant faces external stressors or specific nutritional needs.

Why choose QUILATUM over another biostimulant product?

Several features distinguish QUILATUM in the market for natural substances used as biostimulants:

1. 100% plant-based origin, derived from the secondary metabolism of three complementary plants, with no synthetic molecules.
2. Authorization governed by decree n°2016-532, ensuring regulatory compliance for its use in France.
3. Compatibility with organic farming, in accordance with EC Regulation 834/2007, a decisive criterion for certified farms or those in conversion.
4. Dual benefits, both structural (strengthening cell walls) and nutritional (supplying zinc), which is rare for this type of product.
5. A formulation designed for periods of biotic stress, particularly when facing aphid pressure.
6. Two sizes available (1L and 5L), to suit the needs of every farm, from small growers to larger operations.
7. Precise instructions for use, ensuring safe handling and optimal effectiveness in the field.

In summary, QUILATUM is intended for all growers seeking a complementary natural solution based on recognized plant extracts, to support their crops during periods of biotic stress and correct potential zinc deficiencies, while remaining compatible with organic farming requirements.

Available in 1- or 5-liter bottles, QUILATUM is a complementary tool to include in your quote request if your farm is seeking a natural, regulatory-compliant solution for structural and nutritional crop support.
