Abiotic stress events are the greatest causes of yield loss for farmers.
Xylogic’s plant biostimulant provides a new treatment to assist farmers to mitigate the effects of heat stress, drought stress, chilling stress, salinity, shade stress and heavy metal stress during crop production.
XyloBio has demonstrated its efficacy in independent trials
Sceptre, a widely grown wheat crop variety in Australia, was treated with XyloBio 48 hours before the trials were exposed to a day of 40 degree heat.
The left hand control sample demonstrates the effect of the extreme heat stress on untreated plants.
The right hand side sample shows the results of pre-treated plants.
The XyloBio application assisted the plant to ameliorate the effects of the applied abiotic stress - heat stress - event.
XyloBio offers farmers a new technique to counter the challenges of ‘in-season’ abiotic stress: improving crop, farm and community resilience to increasing incidents of unseasonal weather volatility.
This is particularly relevant at key periods of yield determination: for example in ‘booting’, ‘flowering’ and ‘seed setting’ phases of the crop.

Globally, the transition to clean, renewable energy is driving huge growth in rechargeable batteries. The critical minerals required to support the transition is creating significant demand for sustainable and cost effective methods to recycle critical minerals required to operate rechargeable batteries.
XyloLix is a green lixiviant with fast kinetics and high yielding recovery of critical minerals.
XyloLix has achieved excellent leaching recovery for critical minerals
Assessed against conventional lixiviants, XyloLix has not only demonstrated superior yields but also a fast kinetic action: the results shown on the graph were achieved following 30 minutes of treatment.
There are several benefits to the rapidly growing critical mineral recovery sector: a sustainable ‘green’ lixiviant to replace fossil fuel derived alternatives; high yield of targeted minerals, and fast recovery.
Xylogic has also worked on recycling the lixiviant so that XyloLix can be regenerated with the addition of a reducing agent and the lixiviant then reused in the treatment process, further enhancing the sustainability benefits of this technology.
