Fungal chitosan for biocontrol, biostimulation and crop protection.
Fungal chitosan
for biocontrol,
biostimulation and
crop protection.
Agriculture Domain
Develop your next crop protection or biostimulant strategy with the world's first fungal chitosan approved for agricultural use.
KitOgreen® brings together complementary fungal chitosan technologies designed to support biocontrol efficacy, plant defence activation, biostimulation and crop protection across the full growing cycle, from seeding to post-harvest.
Agronomists and crop protection formulators are seeking natural, bio-based alternatives that deliver effective biocontrol and biostimulation across a broad spectrum of crops without compromising yield, product quality, or regulatory compliance.
The challenge is not simply to reduce synthetic pesticide inputs. It is to identify a natural active substance with documented field efficacy, a clear regulatory pathway and an amplitude of action that covers multiple stress factors simultaneously, from pathogen pressure to abiotic stress and post-harvest management.

Key benefits
A Broad Spectrum of Action
Depending on the methodology of application and objectives, different mechanisms of action are triggered by fungal chitosan.
KitOgreen® products can activate one or several of these mechanisms simultaneously, an amplitude of action combining complementary modes of action to support crop protection and plant performance.
From ready-to-use solutions to customized formulation concepts, KitOgreen® combines technology, agronomic experience, formulation know-how and industrial manufacturing to help partners turn fungal chitosan into practical agricultural solutions.
PROTECT
Crop protection & plant defence. Combine plant defence activation through eliciting effects with direct interaction against selected pathogens.
STIMULATE
Plant vigour & resilience. Explore the potential of fungal chitosan to support plant development, root growth and resilience under challenging growing conditions.
START
Seed treatment. Build on field experience to explore new opportunities in early protection, germination, crop establishment and seedling vigour.
INTEGRATE
Formulation development. Use fungal chitosan as a functional ingredient in new agricultural formulations, alone or in combination with active ingredients, microorganisms or other formulation components.
For more than 25 years, KitOzyme has pioneered the development and industrial production of fungal chitosan and chitin-glucan ingredients.
Our expertise extends beyond manufacturing. We help partners select and integrate the most relevant molecular profile according to their formulation, application and targeted performance.
