Ficosterra will participate in the IV World Congress of Biostimulants
November 7, 2019
Cystium-k, the new liquid biostimulant of ficosterra
November 15, 2019Spain will host a new edition of the World Biostimulants Congress, a global reference event in which Ficosterra will participate to present its latest liquid biostimulant: Cystium-k, a pure extract of Macrocystis pyrifera seaweed.
Additionally, Ficosterra will take advantage of this international platform to showcase the properties of its microbial biostimulant Ficosagro, an organic matter biodigester that enhances rooting, crop health, and soil regeneration, promoting sustainable and regenerative agriculture.
The Fairmont Rey Juan Carlos I in Barcelona will be the venue for this international event, which, in its fourth edition, will bring together the leading players in the agri-food sector worldwide.

Presentation of Ficosterra’s new liquid biostimulant: Cystium-k
In this international setting, Ficosterra will present Cystium-k, an innovative liquid biostimulant made from Macrocystis pyrifera seaweed extract.
Its benefits have been tested both in laboratory andfield conditions, demonstrating excellent results as an anti-stress treatment for crops, improving germination rates, and maximizing cellular growth in the early stages of plant development.
The main effects of Cystium-k on crops include:

Activates the plant’s natural defenses thanks to its high content of sulfated polysaccharides.

Increases root hair development and enhances crop germination rates.

Promotes fruit bulking during the later stages of crop growth.
Cystium-k will be available in 5L, 20L, and 1000L/IBC formats, making it easy to apply in both organic and conventional agriculture.
Spain: a leader in the production of biostimulants and biofertilizers
Spain is positioned as one of the leading countries in biostimulant and biofertilizer production, actively contributing to the development of more sustainable crops that respect the environment.
The rise of sustainable and regenerative agriculture has driven the use of biofertilizers, biostimulants, and natural fertilizers, as they not only increase crop profitability but also support a zero-residue agricultural production model.

According to the latest report by Future Market Insights (FMI), Western Europe dominates the global biostimulants market and is expected to continue leading it until 2025, with an annual growth rate close to 12% (CAGR), backed by the significant role of the Spanish industry.
A key meeting point for
organic and conventional agriculture
The World Biostimulants Congress is organized by the prestigious magazine New AG International and is expected to host over 1,000 delegates from around the world.
This event will serve as a key platform to:
01
Exchange knowledge and experiences on the use of biostimulants in organic and conventional agriculture.
02
Explore new trends and business opportunities in the bio agricultural inputs sector.
03
Discuss the challenges of agricultural sustainability and the impact of biostimulants on crop productivity.
Liquid biostimulants and biofertilizers are gaining prominence in organic farming, but they are also essential tools for conventional farmers looking to enhance the efficiency of their crops with natural solutions.

Ficosterra at Stand 21 of Fairmont Rey Juan Carlos I
Ficosterra will be present in the exhibition area of Fairmont Rey Juan Carlos I, at Stand 21, alongside the Mexican company AlgaMar (Algas Marinas, S.A.), with which it has established a collaboration agreement in R&D.
At Ficosterra, we continue to drive innovation by offering organic and sustainable products to enhance regenerative agriculture and efficient crop management.
