Chitin Elicitor WP
Plant-priming foliar input for resilience and consistent crop performance
Chitin Elicitor WP is a wettable powder (WP) formulated for stable dispersion and sprayability. Made from micronized marine-shell chitin, it’s designed to fit cleanly into existing foliar schedules as a plant defense elicitor / biostimulant—supporting crop consistency through stress and disease-pressure windows.

What it does
Supports natural plant defense signaling
Chitin is a widely recognized biological cue in plant systems. When applied as a foliar input, it can support plant priming—helping crops stay steadier through common production stressors.
Built to complement integrated programs
Chitin Elicitor WP is designed to work alongside crop nutrition and crop protection schedules. It’s not a replacement for agronomy; it’s a program enhancer for resilience and consistency.
Where it fits best
Chitin Elicitor WP is most commonly adopted in:
Specialty crops (berries, greenhouse vegetables, orchards/vineyards)
High-pressure seasons (humidity swings, disease windows, heat/drought stress)
Residue-conscious programs where growers want low-residue tools that integrate cleanly
Intensive production where consistency and risk management matter
How to use
Typical starter program (foliar)
Rate: 1.0 kg/ha (0.405 kg/acre)
Frequency: 2–4 applications per season
Timing: early vegetative, then repeat through stress/disease-pressure windows
Application: foliar spray as part of your normal pass
Program intensification
1.5–2.0 kg/ha when crop value and pressure justify a higher-intensity program.
Mixing + compatibility
Mixing: Make a pre-slurry in a pail, then add to the spray tank with agitation.
Tank mix: Generally compatible with common foliar inputs. For unfamiliar mixes, run a quick jar test before loading the tank.
Best practice: Keep good agitation and consistent mixing order.

FAQ
Is this a pesticide?
No. Chitin Elicitor WP is positioned as a plant-priming foliar input used within integrated crop programs.
Will it replace my crop protection program?
No—think of it as a support tool that helps crops hold steadier through pressure windows.
Is it compatible with my tank mix?
Often, yes. As with any program change, run a jar test when mixing unfamiliar products and maintain agitation.
Compliance note
Chitin Elicitor WP is intended for use within integrated crop production programs. Performance may vary by crop, environment, and management. Always follow local regulations and label directions.
