Key Takeaways
- Rovensa Next has launched Myndra, a next-generation biostimulant designed to improve fruit quality across major woody perennial crops.
- Myndra is based on Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed extract produced through a chemical-free, cold extraction process.
- Field trials show improvements including 19% higher firmness, 10% higher sugar content, and 19% increases in fruit weight and marketable yield.
- The product is validated under the EU Fertilising Products Regulation (FPR) 2019/1009 as a non-microbial biostimulant.
- Rovensa Next positions the launch as part of its broader biosolutions strategy to promote sustainable, high-quality crop production.
Rovensa Next Introduces Myndra Across Europe
Rovensa Next has announced the European launch of Myndra, a synergistic biostimulant formulated to elevate fruit quality in key woody perennial crops. Positioned as the company’s most advanced seaweed-based biostimulant to date, Myndra reflects Rovensa Next’s ongoing efforts to expand data-driven biosolutions for specialty crops.
Developed from Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed harvested in the North Atlantic, the formulation leverages a cold, chemical-free extraction process that preserves active compounds including polyphenols, polysaccharides, alginates and vitamins. These components support improved physiological regulation in plants and contribute to measurable enhancements in fruit quality attributes.
A Synergistic Formulation Supporting Key Metabolic Pathways
Targeted Biochemical Support for Quality Traits
Myndra’s formulation acts as a precursor for essential amino acids such as aspartic acid, arginine, glycine and proline. These molecules support cellular growth, reproductive processes and fruit development, enabling stronger biochemical foundations for quality and yield expression.
Data-Driven Selection Among Multiple Prototypes
The product was selected following extensive internal evaluations where multiple prototypes were tested. According to Rovensa Next, Myndra demonstrated the most consistent improvements in fruit quality and yield performance across diverse trial environments.
Rovensa's Field Trials Demonstrate Significant Fruit Quality Gains
Trials conducted on stone fruit, pome fruit, citrus and table grapes showed increases of 19% in firmness, 10% in soluble sugars, and 19% in fruit weight and marketable yield. Nutrient-related traits also improved, including a 25% rise in carotenoids, 56% increase in flavonoids and 46% boost in antioxidant activity.
These results demonstrate the potential of biosolutions like Myndra to strengthen premium-grade harvest characteristics and enhance crop value.
EU Certification Supports Commercial Rollout Of Rovensa Next's
Myndra has been validated under the EU Fertilising Products Regulation (FPR) 2019/1009 as a non-microbial biostimulant for improving quality traits in woody perennials. This certification enables commercialization across all 27 EU Member States and reinforces Rovensa Next’s commitment to providing scientifically supported biosolutions.
