01 / The technology
A DIFFERENT WAY TO BRING IODINE INTO AGRICULTURE.
FISIODINE® emerged from years of experimentation with iodine chemistry, formulation and agricultural applications. BROTEK developed a proprietary platform around stabilizing iodine and integrating it into agricultural formulation systems.
Designed for integration
Developed to work within agricultural formulation systems, with each integration evaluated for its intended use.
Built for adoption
A B2B approach for formulators and agricultural companies to evaluate the technology within their own products.

TESTED IN ISOLATION.
EXPLORED ACROSS CROPS.
The evidence starts with an isolated FISIODINE® evaluation and extends to commercial field experience with a FISIODINE®-containing formulation across 14 crops and five countries.
A certified trial tested FISIODINE® on its own. Field programs then explored a FISIODINE®-containing formulation across 14 crops and five countries.

Certified evaluation of FISIODINE® alone
In a GEP-certified, randomized and replicated trial, FISIODINE® produced a statistically significant plant response. Under the conditions tested, combinations with selected inputs showed stronger responses, suggesting potential to complement existing formulations.

Additional crop experience
Sweet corn, white maize, pepper, cucumber, tomato, fig, romaine lettuce and Persian lime appear in the evidence package, with varying study designs and outcomes.
Early field adopters in Central America
Agroindustrial companies in Central America are adopting FISIODINE®-powered programs across coffee, vegetables, sugarcane, peppers, plantain and sweet potato.
NEVAL evaluates FISIODINE® in isolation. The crop figures above measure a formulated program and cannot isolate FISIODINE®'s contribution from its accompanying nutrition. Commercial field validations are directional, not claims of statistical significance or guaranteed outcomes. Protocols and growing conditions vary.
Different crops. Different environments. One technology platform.
03 / Formulation potential
TECHNOLOGY DESIGNED TO BE INTEGRATED.
FISIODINE® has been evaluated with seaweed extracts, amino acids, humic and fulvic substances, and micronutrients. These formulation families offer possible routes for integration into partner portfolios.
Explore the formulation families to see how integration could be evaluated. Potential combinations require formulation-specific compatibility, stability and biological validation.
