Patent Secured for BCF’s LEAFAMINE® Technology
Advancing Sustainable Soil Regeneration
BCF Life Sciences, a Brittany-based fine chemistry company, has received a new patent for its LEAFAMINE® technology, designed to enhance soil regeneration and improve growing media. This innovative solution aligns with sustainable agriculture by:
- Boosting soil vitality in diverse climatic conditions.
- Reducing carbon footprint compared to traditional chemical inputs.
- Supporting beneficial soil micro-organisms for healthier soil ecosystems.
LEAFAMINE® is a free amino acid-based solution that can be sprayed, watered, or mixed into the soil, making it adaptable to various farming applications.
Boosting Soil Health with LEAFAMINE® Technology
Enhancing Microbial Activity and Reducing Erosion
The patented innovation is based on LEAFAMINE® 88 – WSP, an active ingredient extracted from poultry feathers’ keratin. After three years of research and field trials, BCF Life Sciences has demonstrated that:
- Higher concentrations of free amino acids improve soil microflora development and respiration.
- Soil health is preserved by increasing microbial activity and resistance to erosion.
- Chemical input usage is reduced, making farming more sustainable and cost-efficient.
A Breakthrough in Soil Regeneration
“The level of free amino acids is a key factor in the development of soil microflora: the higher the concentration, the greater the soil respiration. LEAFAMINE® Technology has the highest hydrolysis rate on the market, making it a major innovation for soil regeneration,” said Emmanuelle Mounier, Plant Care R&D Manager at BCF Life Sciences.
By stimulating beneficial soil micro-organisms, LEAFAMINE® helps farmers improve soil structure, ensuring long-term fertility and sustainability.
Commitment to Sustainable Agricultural Innovation
BCF Life Sciences’ Ongoing Research and Development
BCF Life Sciences has built a reputation for transforming natural raw materials into high-quality active ingredients across human, animal, plant nutrition, and cosmetics industries. This latest patent underscores the company’s commitment to sustainability and agricultural innovation.
