Precision Chitosan: A Breakthrough for Agriculture

Chitosan, a biopolymer upcycled from crab shells, is proving to be a breakthrough input in modern agriculture—enhancing plant health, suppressing pests and pathogens, and boosting the performance of other crop inputs. But precision matters: poorly formulated chitosan can backfire, increasing pressure instead of solving problems. In this Tech Talk, Tidal Grow® AgriScience’s Trey Cutts reveals how their proprietary approach to chitosan formulation—grounded in molecular precision and rigorous quality control—is transforming it into a powerful tool for crop protection, seed treatment, and nutrient use efficiency.
