what-are-bio-stimulants

You’ve heard the buzzwords — biostimulants, humic acids, amino foliar sprays. But what do they actually do for your crops? Here’s a breakdown of how biostimulants from Nova Chemicals help Zimbabwean farmers boost yields naturally.


What Are Biostimulants?
Biostimulants are natural or organic substances that improve plant health, root growth, stress resistance, and nutrient absorption.

They DON’T replace fertilisers — they ENHANCE them.


Top 3 Benefits of Biostimulants:

  1. 🌱 Root Health – Products like Nutribio Rhizofix and Mycoroot increase root surface area and nutrient uptake
  2. 💪 Stress ResistanceNitrozyme helps crops handle heat, drought, or transplant shock
  3. 🍅 Better Fruit Set & QualityGoëmar BM Plus (seaweed extract) encourages uniform flowering and fruit set in tomatoes and citrus

Real-Life Examples:

  • A tobacco farmer in Mashonaland using Amino 28 reported improved leaf thickness and faster recovery from hail damage
  • Vegetable growers using Wuxal Aminocal saw fewer blossom-end rot cases in tomatoes

How to Use Them:
Our agronomists match each biostimulant to your crop stage and challenges. Whether it’s foliar sprays, root dips, or fertigation — we help you apply correctly.
