Biological composition and mode of action
- Yeast fermentation extract: Rich in bioactive free amino acids, peptides, organic carbon, and naturally balanced potassium and calcium ions.
- Osmoprotectant synthesis: Triggers the accumulation of protective solutes inside plant cells, maintaining cellular turgor and membrane stability during temperature spikes.
- Anti-oxidative defense: Stimulates the synthesis of protective antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase and catalase), neutralizing damaging free radicals generated by thermal stress.
- Pollen viability protection: Shields reproductive organs from heat-induced desiccation, ensuring successful pollination and flower retention.
Optimal application windows and crop responses
Apply as a foliar spray prior to or at the onset of seasonal heat stress or prolonged dry spells. In tomato, chilli, potato, soybean, and cotton, applying Quantis at vegetative branching, flower bud initiation, and early fruit formation prevents flower abortion and boosts marketable yield.
Dosage, compatibility and FCO standards
- Recommended foliar dosage is typically 400 to 500 ml per acre diluted in 200 liters of water for field and vegetable crops.
- Physically compatible with most neutral insecticides, fungicides, and foliar micronutrient mixtures for convenient tank-mix spraying.
- Complies with Indian biostimulant regulations under the Fertilizer (Inorganic, Organic or Mixed) (Control) Order (FCO).
- Residue-free and safe for integrated crop management programs.

Common questions
What is the primary role of Quantis in crop production?
Quantis is a biostimulant that mitigates abiotic stress, particularly heat and drought stress, preserving flowering and fruit set.
What is the biological origin of Quantis?
It is derived from the controlled fermentation of sugarcane molasses by specialized yeast strains, yielding concentrated peptides and amino acids.
Can Quantis be mixed with routine crop protection sprays?
Yes, Quantis is compatible with most neutral fungicides and insecticides, allowing farmers to apply it during regular crop maintenance rounds.
