UBP™ Technology

UBP™ Technology - scientifically proven, patented nutrient technology - enhances conditions for nutrient uptake, resulting in a plant that can manage abiotic stress, such as herbicide damage and drought. 

The result is a crop empowered to produce greater yield and improved quality.

Universal Biological Platform, also know as UBP™ Technology, is a proprietary organic molecular substrate comprised of 16 vital and essential macro and micro-nutrients that are bound in a complex carbon-based process. Developed as a result of an international research program tasked to germinate seeds in zero gravity and grow food in the extreme conditions of a space station, UPB™ Technology was successful in bringing the first seeds from germination to full maturity (seed to seed) in a space station greenhouse.

UBP™ Technology was created to sustain life in space, but perfected for sustainable farm production on Earth. UBP™ Technology is the most advanced biostimulant and plant nutritional platform on EARTH.

UBP™ Technology provides essential macro and micronutrients, complexed and stabilized by a carbon-based biopolymer, which produces a proprietary organic molucular substrate. Depending on the needs of the customer, specific nutrients are then added (in a chelated and non-chelated form) to the potassium lignosulfonate, which forms a complex with the nutrients. The resulting finished product (UBP) will be a combination of potassium lignosulfonate salts (ready to attract surrounding metal cations), lignosulfonate-complexed (added) nutrients and any untransformed plant (tree)-related materials, primarily polysaccharides. 

  • Emergen™ L optimizes conditions for abiotic stress tolerance by providing additional nutrients to the plant for use on row crops such as corn, cotton, dry beans, peanuts, soybeans, and wheat.
  • Illustria™ mitigates abiotic stress and improves conditions for crop quality and yield. Illustria™ is available for small fruits and tree nut crops.
