Biochemical composition and osmoprotective mechanism
Quantis is derived from refined sugar beet vinasse fermentation and contains naturally balanced organic metabolites, free amino acids, and essential minerals.
When crops experience heatwaves, drought, or moisture stress, Quantis acts as an antioxidant and cellular osmoprotectant, preventing the shutdown of photosynthetic machinery.
- Organic Carbon & Metabolites: Supplies cellular energy, supports osmotic balance, and protects chloroplast membranes.
- Amino Acids: Provides ready building blocks for protective stress proteins and stimulates chlorophyll synthesis.
- Potassium & Calcium: Regulates stomatal aperture, maintains cellular turgor, and reinforces plant cell wall structure.
- Anti-senescence effect: Delays premature leaf yellowing (senescence), sustaining vegetative health under stress.
Target crops and optimal application stages
Quantis is applied as a foliar spray prior to or during critical physiological growth stages where environmental stress could reduce yield.
It is beneficial across field crops, pulses, oilseeds, and perennial fruit orchards facing unpredictable weather conditions.
- Soybean: Applied during early flowering and pod initiation to prevent flower abortion under dry spells.
- Paddy (Rice): Applied at maximum tillering and panicle initiation to enhance effective tillers and grain filling.
- Cotton: Sprayed at square formation and flowering to minimize boll shedding under high temperatures.
- Horticultural crops: Applied on mango, grapes, and vegetables during blossom development and fruit setting.
Foliar application guidelines and compatibility
Quantis is applied using standard knapsack, battery, or tractor-mounted sprayers with sufficient water volume for uniform canopy wetting.
It exhibits broad physical compatibility with common foliar fertilizers, micronutrients, and crop protection chemicals.
- Application method: Foliar spray applied during early morning or late afternoon for maximum leaf absorption.
- Dosage adherence: Strictly follow the manufacturer's recommended dilution rates per acre indicated on the container label.
- Precaution: Avoid spraying during intense midday heat or when heavy rainfall is expected within a few hours.

Common questions
What are the primary ingredients in Quantis biostimulant?
Quantis contains vinasse fermentation metabolites, organic carbon, free amino acids, potassium, and calcium.
When is the best growth stage to apply Quantis?
It is best applied at critical physiological stages like flowering, tillering, and fruit setting, especially ahead of predicted heat or drought stress.
Does Quantis help crops survive drought or heat stress?
Yes, its organic osmoprotectants and antioxidants help maintain cellular hydration and photosynthesis during abiotic stress periods.
