-- Inera Cropscience, biological farm inputs business of Absolute, unveiled its new range of next-gen biostimulants and seed coatings, Leiro, at COP28. A crop-agnostic product that aims to set new global benchmarks for biostimulant performance, Leiro comes with major improvements in crop yield and quality. Leiro is the latest addition to Inera’s exhaustive portfolio of breakthrough biologicals, which aim to improve global soil health, disease & pest control, and decarbonize agriculture at scale.
Products in the Leiro range include cutting-edge biocatalyst-based seed coatings and biostimulants that aim to help in early germination, improve root and shoot development, and enhance yield while managing biotic and abiotic stressors. The introduction of high-efficacy biostimulant range Leiro aims to impact global-scale agriculture with a significant reduction in the perils of traditional agri-inputs, like the release of greenhouse gasses, fertile soil contamination, eutrophication of water bodies, and the long-term detriment to farmer health. The use of Leiro can also aid in the process of Carbon Sequestration with its continued use for fortifying soil health.
After rigorous trials of over 30 months across seasons and multiple agroclimatic zones, Inera is set to launch 4 biostimulants under the Leiro range. These trials were led by Inera’s team of leading field trial experts who have worked for leading agrochemical companies including Bayer, Monsanto, Syngenta, PI Industries, UPL, and IFFCO among others. In addition to Absolute’s expansive network of field trials spanning over 2.5 Million sq ft, extensive tests were also conducted in collaboration with farmers. With the use of Leiro, growers witnessed a good performance across crop vigor, plant height, stem girth, shoot, and root length, shoot and root weight, number of tillers, and crop yield. These results were observed on a wide range of crops including wheat, paddy, soybean, brinjal, tomato, capsicum, and chili to name a few. Leiro has demonstrated a significant performance advantage over multiple other global biostimulant products, and products that focus on enhancing plant growth including the popular agrochemical-based products in the market, and aims to establish itself as a category leader in stimulants and seed coatings space.
Inera’s bio inputs are developed using proprietary technologies like STREAC, MSC, and UHRS from Absolute’s R&D core Xenesis, with inputs from over 150 scientists from prestigious global institutions including TUFTS University, Marine Biological Laboratory - Woods Hole, Deakin University, Baylor Institute for Immunology Research, UT South Western Medical Center, and Indian Council of Agricultural Research among others. The combination of these technologies from Xenesis makes the inputs more effective, stable, long-lasting, and responsive to external stress.
Agam Khare, Founder & Group CEO Absolute shared on the occasion, “Biostimulants have a significant role in mitigating climate change, but there is a huge performance gap in the existing products. With Leiro, we’re bringing new-gen high-efficacy products to farmers: solutions that go beyond traditional, synthetic inputs and support in safeguarding the future of people and the planet.”.
