Active composition and biochemical properties
Isabion meets rigorous quality specifications under the Fertilizer Control Order (FCO) biostimulant regulations.
Key technical properties and constituents:
- Active composition: Approximately 62.5% total amino acids and short peptides, with free amino acids making up 10% to 12% of the formulation.
- Enzymatic hydrolysis: Manufactured via precise enzymatic digestion, preserving delicate L-alpha amino acids without chemical degradation.
- Direct metabolic assimilation: Free amino acids are absorbed directly by plant leaves and roots, conserving cellular energy during rapid growth phases.
- Chelating capability: Amino acids naturally chelate essential soil and foliar micronutrients (iron, zinc, manganese), improving their cellular uptake.
- Proline and hydroxyproline richness: High concentrations of proline help regulate cell osmotic pressure, protecting crops against heat, cold, and drought stress.
Crop benefits across vegetables, fruits and field crops
Applying Isabion at critical developmental phases triggers measurable agronomic improvements:
Primary physiological benefits:
- Root architecture: Promotes white feeder root proliferation when applied via drenching or fertigation.
- Flowering and fruit set: Enhances pollen tube elongation, increases flower retention, and prevents premature fruit drop in vegetables and orchards.
- Fruit quality: Enhances fruit sizing, uniform color development, total soluble solids (Brix), and storage shelf life.
- Post-stress rejuvenation: Accelerates crop recovery following hailstorms, herbicide shock, or prolonged drought periods.
Application dosage, pricing factors and compatibility
For foliar spray, apply at CIBRC and FCO label rates (typically 2 ml per litre of water or 400 to 500 ml per acre). It can also be applied through drip irrigation at 1 to 2 litres per acre. Retail prices vary by bottle volume (100 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml, 1 litre) and local distribution costs. Isabion is broadly compatible with common neutral fungicides and insecticides, but conduct a jar test before tank mixing.

Common questions
What is the primary active content in Syngenta Isabion?
Isabion contains 62.5% active amino acids and short-chain peptides derived from enzymatic hydrolysis of natural collagen protein.
How does Isabion help crops tolerate drought and heat stress?
Its high proline and amino acid content stabilizes plant cell membranes and maintains internal osmotic balance during climatic stress.
What factors influence the retail price of Isabion?
Packaging sizes (ranging from 100 ml bottles to 1-litre cans) and regional dealership logistics determine retail pricing.
