01 · THE CUSTOMER PROBLEM

A promising active has little value if the foliar formulation blocks nozzles, covers poorly, washes off or damages the crop.

Mykito tunes solubility, droplet behavior and film formation so chitosan can be delivered alone or with complementary inputs through practical spray equipment.

Sprayable chitosan formulations engineered for leaf coverage, retention and plant compatibility.

02 · RECOMMENDED STARTING POINT

Start with the material designed for the decision.

MYKITO PLATFORMBioFoundry
RECOMMENDED SAMPLEA sprayable agricultural grade with water-quality and nozzle-screening guidance.

Solubility, droplet behavior and film formation can be tuned to create foliar systems that deliver chitosan alone or with complementary inputs.

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

Leaf-surface retention

Leaf-surface retention can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished foliar application system.

02

Uniform coverage

Uniform coverage can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished foliar application system.

03

Compatible active delivery

Compatible active delivery can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished foliar application 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

Nozzle and tank compatibility

02

Coverage, retention and rainfastness

03

Phytotoxicity and field response

Nozzle compatibilityLeaf coveragePhytotoxicityRainfastnessWater quality

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.
