Quantis - Vinasse Metabolites 52% w/w - Syngenta
Item description
Syngenta Quantis Biostimulant (1L) | Drought & Heat Stress Reliever
The ultimate "Insurance Policy" for your crops against extreme weather.
Syngenta Quantis is a specialized biostimulant designed to protect crops from abiotic stress like high heat, drought, and salinity. Unlike standard fertilizers, Quantis works on the plant's internal metabolism. It activates the plant's natural defense mechanism, ensuring that yield is protected even when the weather conditions are unfavorable.
Best For: Farmers facing irregular rainfall, high temperatures during flowering, or water scarcity.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️ Rapid Recovery from Stress: Helps plants bounce back immediately after heatwaves or dry spells, reducing the "recovery lag" that kills yield.
- ?️ Prevents Flower & Fruit Drop: Strengthens the retention of squares in cotton and pods in soybean by maintaining internal cell pressure (turgor).
- ⏳ Prolongs "Stay Green" Period: Keeps leaves functional and green for longer, ensuring maximum photosynthesis and grain filling (Test Weight).
- ?️ Rainfast in 1 Hour: Quickly absorbed by leaves, making it safe to use even during the monsoon season.
- ? Boosts Metabolic Energy: Provides organic carbon, amino acids, and potassium to keep the plant energized when soil nutrients are locked up.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Quantis works on a cellular level to "harden" the plant against tough environments. [Image of plant cell turgor pressure mechanism]
- Osmoprotection (Water Retention): It supplies organic solutes (Potassium & Amino acids) that help plant cells hold onto water. This maintains "Turgor Pressure," keeping the plant standing upright and functioning even during drought.
- Antioxidant Defense (Cooling Effect): Heat stress creates toxins (ROS) in leaves that burn cells. Quantis provides antioxidants that scavenge these toxins, preventing leaf scorching.
- Photosynthetic Maintenance: By keeping the leaf pores (stomata) functioning, it allows the plant to continue making food (sugars) through photosynthesis when untreated plants would shut down.
Result: A plant that keeps growing and filling grain while others are wilting.
Target Crops & Stress Management
| Crop | Target Stress / Stage |
|---|---|
| Cotton | Prevents Square Drop & Boll Shedding during heat stress. |
| Soybean | Prevents flower abortion; improves pod filling during monsoon breaks. |
| Rice / Wheat | Reduces panicle sterility; manages terminal heat stress at grain filling. |
| Vegetables & Fruits | Improves fruit set and size during temperature fluctuations. |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 400 ml - 500 ml | 150 - 200 L | 2 - 2.5 ml | 0 |
| Soybean / Rice | 800 ml | 150 - 200 L | 4 - 5 ml | 0 |
| Wheat / Vegetables | 400 ml | 150 L | 2 - 2.5 ml | 0 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: 0 Days means it is safe to harvest immediately after the spray dries, as it is non-toxic.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Timing: Apply Preventatively.
Cotton: 1st spray at Square formation, 2nd at Boll formation.
Soybean/Pulses: Apply at Flower Initiation and Pod formation. - Mixing: Compatible with most insecticides (e.g., Syngenta Simodis, Amistar). Do NOT mix with highly alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture or Copper Hydroxide.
- Coverage: Ensure full canopy coverage. The amino acids enter through the leaf surface, so good contact is essential.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Quantis a fertilizer or a pesticide?
Neither. Quantis is a Biostimulant.
It doesn't kill pests or provide bulk NPK; instead, it acts as a
stress-reliever and metabolic booster for the plant.
2. Can I use Quantis on any crop?
Yes, it is effective on almost all crops including field
crops (Cotton, Soybean, Rice, Corn) and horticulture
(Tomato, Potato, Chili, Fruits) to manage environmental stress.
3. Can I mix Quantis with other fungicides or
insecticides?
Yes, Quantis has
excellent tank-mix compatibility with most crop protection
products. It allows you to protect against pests and stress
in a single spray.
4. What is the shelf life of the product?
Quantis is stable for 2 to 3 years from the date of
manufacture if stored in a cool, dry place away from direct
sunlight.
5. Why does it smell like fermentation?
The distinct smell comes from the Vinasse
Metabolites. It is derived from natural fermentation (similar to
yeast/sugarcane processing), which is the source of its potent
amino acids and organic carbon.
