Elemental Enzymes 和 UPL 在巴西推出用于防治柑橘黄龙病的肽基解决方案
元素酵素, a leader in Precision Biology solutions, in partnership with UPL, a global provider of sustainable agricultural solutions, has announced the launch of Strakor, a breakthrough peptide- based solution designed to combat citrus greening (HLB).
Strakor® is the only registered product in Brazil for the efficient management of citrus greening, one of the most devastating diseases affecting citrus production worldwide. Developed using Vismax™ technology, this innovative solution translates advanced peptide science into a field-ready, scalable solution for growers.
“Strakor isn’t just a product—it’s what happens when precision peptide science meets a grower’s real-world challenge,” said Brian Thompson, CEO of Elemental Enzymes. “Together with UPL, we’re giving Brazilian citrus growers their first registered tool against HLB—plus broad-spectrum protection against bacterial and fungal pathogens—setting a new standard for what biological crop protection can be.”
Strakor® works through precise signaling peptides that activate the plant’s natural immune response. These peptide signals trigger systemic defense pathways, enabling the plant to protect itself from the inside out. The result is improved resilience, enhanced plant health, and stronger orchard performance over time.
Designed as a complete solution—not just a standalone product—Strakor® integrates seamlessly into existing grower practices. It is compatible with current crop protection programs and easy to apply, requiring no operational disruption while delivering measurable performance in the field.
“Strakor represents an important advance in the way we think about agricultural management,” said Mariana Yama, Product Manager at UPL Brazil. “We are talking about a solution that combines science, innovation, and sustainability, contributing to a more balanced, productive agriculture that is prepared for today’s challenges in the field.”
The launch reflects Elemental Enzymes’ strategic evolution from a technology innovator to a solutions provider—focused on delivering precision biology in forms that are proven, scalable, and ready for real-world agriculture.
