What we are doing
and where.
Each programme is at a different stage. We present results only where data is available, and describe ongoing work as ongoing.
Nursery Farm Evaluation
HYDRONICA® Foliar is currently undergoing structured evaluation at nursery farms in Italy, under the direct scientific supervision of Dr. Alois Inderst. The evaluation focuses on the product's performance in stabilising the aerial surface of ornamental and cultivated plants — assessing effects on plant vitality, surface protection, and resilience to environmental stress and pathogen pressure.
Italy's nursery sector represents one of Europe's most demanding environments for foliar product evaluation, with high standards of horticultural precision and access to controlled growing conditions that allow for meaningful observation of results.

Active EvaluationField Trial & Commercial Partnership — Green Legacy
Nigeria is HYDRONICA®'s most advanced market, combining university-validated field evidence with a commercial partnership now entering local production.
Our Nigerian partner, Green Legacy Limited, has established a track record in soil enhancement technology going back to an earlier generation product. HYDRONICA® Root represents a fundamental advancement on that foundation — delivering up to 200 times greater water retention capacity per gram through a new formulation based on potassium polyacrylate and volcanic mineral components.
Green Legacy has now purchased a full commercial container of HYDRONICA® Root, and local production is being established — ingredients shipped from Europe and China, mixed and bagged locally by Green Legacy. This model significantly reduces cost and improves supply resilience for Nigerian farmers.
A follow-up field visit and expanded programme is planned for August 2026. Full trial documentation is available to qualified research and institutional partners upon request.
Trial Completed · CommercialCoffee Plantation Pilot — Neumann Gruppe
HYDRONICA® Root is entering a structured field pilot with Neumann Gruppe at their Fazenda da Lagoa estate — one of the most significant commercial coffee operations in Brazil, spanning over 2,000 hectares. Neumann Gruppe is one of the world's largest green coffee exporters, with operations across multiple continents.
The pilot focuses on the application of HYDRONICA® Root during transplanting of new Arabica coffee plants. The trial is designed as a controlled one-hectare evaluation comparing standard farm practice with HYDRONICA® Root treatment under identical agronomic management conditions.
Scientific basis: The pilot application protocol is grounded in peer-reviewed research on potassium polyacrylate in coffee cultivation, establishing dose-response parameters by plant development stage. Key metrics include plant establishment, root-zone moisture stability, drought resilience, and progressive irrigation reduction during establishment.
The pilot is being developed in close collaboration with Neumann's agronomy team, with a joint technical framework prepared and signed by Dr. Alois Inderst as Scientific Director. HYDRONICA® is supplying pilot material at no cost for the initial evaluation phase, with a view to establishing a long-term scientific and commercial partnership.
In DevelopmentCommercial Pilot Programme — Anasac Chile SA
HYDRONICA® Root has entered a formal pilot partnership with Anasac Chile SA — one of Latin America's most established agricultural companies, with over 75 years of experience and presence in more than 30 countries. Anasac operates across crop protection, seeds, veterinary, and environmental health sectors, with USD 200 million in annual sales.
Chile's agricultural regions face significant water stress — particularly in the central and northern growing zones where some of South America's most water-intensive commercial crops are cultivated. The collaboration provides HYDRONICA® with access to large-scale commercial trial conditions and an experienced agronomic network across Latin America. The pilot programme is currently in the preparation phase.
In DevelopmentHydroponic Food Production Evaluation
In the UAE, HYDRONICA® Foliar is being evaluated for application in hydroponic and controlled-environment food production — one of the fastest-growing agricultural segments in the Gulf region. Given the extreme climate and near-total dependency on imported food, the UAE has invested significantly in indoor and vertical farming as a food security strategy.
The evaluation focuses on the performance of HYDRONICA® Foliar in stabilising plant surfaces and improving crop quality and yield uniformity in high-value food production — where product safety, residue-free output, and consistent quality are paramount. The all-natural, non-chemical formulation makes it particularly well-suited to this context.
In DevelopmentLaboratory Evaluation — Dong Nai Region
HYDRONICA® is at an early stage of evaluation in Vietnam, with samples currently undergoing laboratory testing through a regional partner in Dong Nai Province. The focus is on flower and vegetable production — two of the most commercially significant agricultural categories in the region.
Vietnam represents a significant long-term opportunity given its large smallholder farming sector, tropical climate with increasing rainfall variability, and growing integration into global agricultural supply chains. We are at the beginning of this relationship and will report further as the evaluation develops.
