ABOUT US

Catalyzing the future of agriculture.

Elemental Enzymes brings together cross-disciplinary scientific expertise to develop novel solutions for complex problems in commercial agriculture and research and development services in the fields of biotechnology and enzymes.

We harness the power and potential of enzymes, peptides, and biochemistries to create products aimed at improving crop performance, soil health, plant health and quality, fertilizer efficiency, and increased production of quality food.

Our patented products are field proven and visionary using practical biotechnology and biochemistry.

Elemental Enzymes is committed to creating high-performing novel biochemical solutions that are both eco-friendly and sustainable because when our planet and our crops flourish, so too do we.

WHAT WE DO

Our products and processes can be grouped into four distinct categories:

1. Disease Prevention & Treatment: These are biochemical pesticide products that work to treat and prevent a broad range of diseases across many crops and can be applied by a number of different delivery methods. These solutions leverage peptides, with direct action to trigger an immune response in the plant. Some examples include Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) and Asian Soybean Rust in soybean crops and Huanglongbing, also known as HLB or citrus greening disease currently devastating the USA and global citrus industry.

2. Nutrient Efficiency: These are non-pesticidal enzyme products designed to improve plant nutrient uptake by converting unavailable forms of nutrients into forms that the plant can uptake. 

3. Carbon Kickstart: These are another class of non-pesticidal enzyme products that kickstart the native soil microbiota into action. Soil microbes produce enzymes to catalyze key reactions in the soil to provide nutrients to the crop. The Carbon Kickstart class targets 5 different carbon sources in the soil that can be broken down to foster root growth and for use by the native soil microbes.

4. Osmotic Stress Prevention & Remediation: These are naturally occurring biochemical products that work to prevent or reverse osmotic stress in plant cells by increasing water retention and providing protein stabilization. They can be used to supplement other Elemental Enzymes products used in soil and foliar applications for improved crop nutrition and to prevent disease.
