C4L organic plant biostimulant with flavonoid-based gene regulation technology
C4L is a proprietary organic foliar biostimulant that enhances crop genetic potential by up- and down-regulating over 3,000 plant genes and increasing photosynthesis by more than 65% within six minutes. Validated across citrus, maize, potatoes, small grains, and kiwifruit, it improves nutrient uptake, stress tolerance, fruit set, and yields using only natural ingredients.
Overview
C4L is an organic, foliar-applied suspension concentrate biostimulant developed and manufactured in South Africa by BioRevolution. It is formulated from a proprietary blend of flavonoids, plant extracts, and organic acids, and is approved as an organic input by CERES. The product is designed to unlock the genetic potential of crops by enhancing nutrient uptake, translocation, and tolerance to both abiotic and biotic stress. Field-validated across multiple crops, C4L helps growers increase biomass, improve fruit size distribution, lift yields, and produce healthier plants without synthetic inputs.
Technical specifications
- Proprietary flavonoid and plant extract formulation: All-natural ingredients manufactured in South Africa, certified for organic use.
- Rapid photosynthetic activation: Demonstrated to increase photosynthesis by more than 65% within six minutes of application.
- Broad gene regulation: Up- and down-regulates over 3,000 plant genes, as confirmed in R&D studies with the University of Stellenbosch.
- Whole-pathway influence: Indirectly affects all major plant health pathways, supporting improved resilience and growth.
- Crop-specific spray programmes: Tailored application guidance supported by trial data across citrus, maize, potatoes, small grains, and kiwifruit.
