01 · THE CUSTOMER PROBLEM

Agricultural actives can be lost, degraded or applied repeatedly when the carrier does not protect and stage delivery under field conditions.

Chitosan particles, films and matrices can protect nutrients or crop inputs and tune their movement through a biodegradable carrier.

Chitosan films, particles and matrices for staged delivery of nutrients or crop-protection actives.

02 · RECOMMENDED STARTING POINT

Start with the material designed for the decision.

MYKITO PLATFORMBioFoundry
RECOMMENDED SAMPLEA payload-specific controlled-release feasibility sample.

Crosslinking, particle design and composite formulation can regulate how water and active ingredients move through a biodegradable carrier.

01

Without the shell

Controlled fungal sourcing supports a traceable, non-animal supply strategy.

02

Specification engineered

MW, DDA, purity, charge density and format are selected around the target result.

03

Application ready

Powder is only the starting point; Mykito also develops films, fibers, gels, coatings and formulations.

04

One technical partner

Material selection, formulation support and the validation plan are connected from the first sample.

03 · PERFORMANCE TARGETS

Build toward outcomes a buyer can measure.

01

Nutrient-release control

Nutrient-release control can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished controlled-release inputs system.

02

Active protection

Active protection can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished controlled-release inputs system.

03

Reduced application frequency concepts

Reduced application frequency concepts can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished controlled-release inputs system.

04 · GO / NO-GO CRITERIA

Define the evidence before testing begins.

The first program is designed around three decision-making outputs—not an open-ended material trial.

01

Loading and release kinetics

02

Field durability and biodegradation

03

Performance and cost per treated acre

05 · FROM SAMPLE TO DECISION

A practical application program,
not a bag of powder.

01

Define

Agree on the function, baseline, constraints and measurable success criteria.

02

Screen

Select the MW, DDA, purity, dose and physical format that fit the application.

03

Validate

Test the winning system in the finished formulation, device, process or use environment.

06 · WHY CHITOSAN

Elicitor signaling + surface retention

Selected grades can be evaluated for plant-defense signaling, while films, particles and coatings retain chitosan or complementary inputs on seed, foliage, produce or soil interfaces.

FORMULATION WINDOW

There is no universal concentration. Grade and dose are screened against pH, interacting ingredients, process conditions and the target performance profile.

QUALIFICATION

Crop response, phytotoxicity, compatibility, field performance, dose economics and registration pathway are evaluated for the intended use.
