Arcozine

ARCOZINE, a safe nanotechnology product for raising the productivity of agricultural crops and reducing crop losses, was developed by Agribiosol's scientific board.

ARCOZINE makes a significant contribution to solving many problems in agriculture. Its high anti-pathogenic properties have been combined with strong elicitor and growth-promoting properties.

ARCOZINE has proven its efficacy through its ability to be integrated into any crop protection programme.

It has a growth-promoting effect. It strengthens the plant's immune system against diseases and adverse environmental factors. It is effective against a wide range of diseases, including those that are difficult to eliminate, and confers long-lasting immunity to pathogens. It improves the presentation and quality of agricultural produce. It can be used in eco-farming (it is harmless to the environment).

ARCOZİNE combines fungicidal and bactericidal properties with those of an abiotic stress reliever and a plant growth regulator. Thanks to this combination of properties, it provides immunity-inducing and growth-stimulating action even at small doses, and at higher doses it shows bactericidal and fungicidal activity alongside its growth-stimulating and development-regulating effect. The combination of these effects increases the effectiveness of existing crop protection programmes.

Growth-supporting effect

The growth-stimulating mode of action of ARCOZINE is linked to its ability to influence the activity of enzymes and membrane protein receptors in the plant, and it carries out the following process.

Effect on auxin concentration

Arcozine leads to an increase in the plant's content of auxins (growth hormones). The enzyme systems that metabolise phytohormones maintain a certain auxin concentration in plants. A decrease in the activity of such enzyme systems causes the auxin concentration to rise even when auxin production does not increase. This process contributes to stimulating the growth and development of plants, to the formation of a strong root system and to reducing the overall impact of the stress factors affecting the plant.

Antibacterial and fungicidal effect

The bactericidal and fungicidal action of ARCOZINE takes place in two ways: directly and indirectly.

Direct action: the nanoparticles contained in Arcozine's chelating agents attach to the cell walls of phytopathogenic micro-organisms. These nanoparticles oxidise and build up to a high concentration on the cell wall of the pathogenic micro-organism, thereby disrupting the normal functioning of the cell membrane proteins, particularly the transport proteins, and causing the death of the pathogenic cell. Because this oxidation takes place gradually, it prolongs the duration of action of fungicides and bactericides.

Indirect effect: Arcozine keeps crops safely protected, stimulates growth activity, increases yield and also significantly reduces pesticide stress on the soil and on plants.
