- Nutrient Use Efficiency: Improved uptake and utilization of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
- Crop Development Parameters: Documented improvements in parameters such as pod and seed count, root biomass, chlorophyll content, and yield.
The product’s certification dossier included field trial data demonstrating yield improvements. For example, in one study, onions treated with RESIL® showed a reported increase of 12.5 metric tons per hectare under a two-application program.
Commercial Use and Market Background
RESIL® is sold in North America as BioLiNE® Gold and has been commercially available since 2018. According to company data, the product has been applied to more than one million hectares across Canada and the United States annually.
