Klorofill

Klorofill

A unique crop enhancer that improves chlorophyll production and maximises green leaf area.

Klorofill™ contains pentanoate - an organic keto acid-based compound that is a unique biological precursor to chlorophyll synthesis. Pentanoate reverses the chlorophyll suppression that a plant may experience during rapid growth, for example, at flag leaf stage.

By increasing chlorophyll production, Klorofill maximises green leaf area and plant biomass, boosting crop growth and therefore yield.

CE marked in accordance with the EU Fertilising Products Regulation (EU) 2019/1009, confirming compliance with EU-wide standards for safety, quality, and efficacy.

What does it do?

Klorofill improves crop growth and productivity by:

  • Increasing chlorophyll production to boost photosynthetic efficiency

  • Maximising green leaf area to extend the plant’s solar capture capacity

  • Supporting rapid biomass development and strong canopy structure

  • Enhancing nutrient use efficiency throughout the growing season

  • Helping crops maintain greenness under growth pressure or environmental stress

How does it do it?

Pentanoate in Klorofill™ reverses the suppression of the chlorophyll biosynthesis pathway which is caused during stressful conditions – natural growth stress or additional biotic or abiotic stress. This increases chlorophyll production enhances the photosynthetic rate and gas exchange maximising crop growth and development.

Benefits

  • Higher chlorophyll levels and increased photosynthetic rate

  • Maximised green leaf area for improved light capture

  • Enhanced plant biomass and overall crop vigour

  • Improved nutrient efficiency and utilisation

Boosting chlorophyll content 

Compared to a competitor amino acid product, Klorofill at 1.0l/ha offers an additional 19% increase in Mg/cm2 of chlorophyll.

Improvement in green leaf area

A trial from 2019 demonstrates a visible improvement in green leaf area.

This is shown in the following yield map of spring barley, captured from an independent trial. Plots 4 and 5 were treated with Klorofill at 1.0l/ha, with the same nitrogen regime as farm standard plot 7.

What this means for you

Replicated manufacturer trials conducted 2018/19 in Suffolk demonstrated that Klorofill can increase winter wheat yield by 0.76t/ha, compared to untreated.

Comparison of application timings in winter wheat

By selecting a targeted approach to Klorofill application, growers can maximise the impact of the product. A series of winter wheat trials by Envirofield in 2018 demonstrate the effectiveness of using Klorofill at T2 timing.
