Support crop resilience, plant defence, and biocontrol with fungal chitosan technologies.
Agriculture Domains
For more than 25 years, KitOzyme has developed and industrialized fungal chitosan technologies for agricultural applications.
Through KitOgreen®, we bring this expertise to agriculture, supporting crop protection, plant resilience, seed treatment and formulation development.
Agricultural programs are evolving. Distributors and formulators are looking for technologies that combine biological performance, formulation flexibility, a clear route to market and reliable industrial supply.
Agricultural programs increasingly combine different technologies, modes of action and application strategies. New biological tools can help diversify these programs while responding to evolving regulatory and market expectations.
Crop performance depends on disease management, but also on establishment, plant development and resilience under variable growing conditions.
Formulators need functional ingredients that can be integrated into differentiated products, while relying on consistent specifications, traceability and industrial availability.
These needs converge on the same opportunity : a versatile fungal chitosan platform with multiple functions.
From a single fungal platform, KitOgreen® opens different application and formulation opportunities across agriculture.
KitOzyme combines scientific expertise, manufacturing capabilities and regulatory support.
KitOgreen® combines plant defence activation through eliciting effects with direct interaction against selected pathogens, providing complementary mechanisms for biological crop protection.
Beyond its biological functions, fungal chitosan is a functional biopolymer that can be explored in agricultural product development and new formulation concepts.
Field experience and research continue to expand the potential of fungal chitosan across seed treatment, crop establishment, root development and plant resilience.
One platform.
Multiple functions.
An industrial-scale expertise.
Supporting your development from the greenhouse to the field.
KitOzyme combines molecular characterization, laboratory and greenhouse evaluation, field experience and formulation work with the regulatory and quality documentation needed to support agricultural development across multiple markets.

Yes. Fungal chitosan can be explored as a functional ingredient within agricultural formulations, combining its biological properties with additional physicochemical functionalities. KitzOyme works with partners on formulation development, compatibility evaluation and new product concepts according to their specific objectives.
Seed treatment is an important application area for KitOgreen®.
US field experience and European research have generated encouraging results across early protection, germination, crop establishment and seedling vigour. KitOzyme is building on this experience to develop new opportunities with partners in Europe, Latin America and other international markets.
Mushroom chitosan combines complementary mechanisms.
As an elicitor, it is recognized by the plant and activates natural defence responses. It can also interact directly with selected pathogens, creating additional opportunities for biological crop protection.
KitOgreen® is KitOzyme’s fungal chitosan platform for agriculture. Its applications span crop protection, biostimulation, seed treatment and formulation development, with additional opportunities evaluated according to the intended product, crop and market.
KitOgreen® is available in two complementary formats: Direct™ and Master™.
The regulatory status of mushroom chitosan depends on the formulation, intended use and market. KitOgreen® has an established regulatory track record in the United States, while chitosan is approved as a Basic Substance for plant protection in the European Union and can be used in organic agriculture under applicable conditions.
