"The controlled and adaptive enzymatic hydrolysis that we developed at Nawter, under the patented name BreakTech, constitutes a distinctive technological platform in the field of agricultural biostimulants. This process efficiently converts the protein fraction of agro-food by-products into peptides and free amino acids from different protein sources. The process can be adapted to any type of material by optimizing the operational parameters (pH, temperature, type of enzyme) to maximize the conversion of proteins into forms that are easily assimilated by the plant and the soil microbiota," says Mario Bermejo, Product Manager at Nawter. "We thus transform poorly bioavailable nitrogen into an easily assimilated and biologically active nutrient, thereby optimizing fertilizer use."
"In addition to nitrogen, the BreakTech process pursues the release of bioactive compounds present in the original raw material, such as polyphenols, oligosaccharides, peptides and specific amino acids, thus enriching the functional activity of the final product, turning it into a complex product capable of modulating key metabolic pathways in plants, namely root development, nutrient absorption and resistance to abiotic stress, characterizing them and obtaining different technologies, which we implement in different products, depending on the specific plant physiological process targeted."

Technology particularly suitable for sustainable and organic agriculture programs
"One of the great advantages over other methods, such as chemical or thermal hydrolysis, is that we maintain a very precise control over the process, avoiding the formation of complex mixtures or unwanted products that, in many cases, may not have any functional value.
"This process is adaptable to all kinds of materials by optimizing the operational parameters (pH, temperature, type of enzyme) to maximize the conversion of proteins into forms that are easily assimilated by the plant and soil microbiota. In this way, we transform poorly bioavailable nitrogen into an easily assimilated and biologically active nutrient, thus optimizing fertilizer use. Moreover, by working in mild pH and temperature conditions, we manage to preserve the integrity of sensitive amino acids such as tryptophan, methionine and cysteine, which easily degrade in extreme conditions.
"It should be noted that BreakTech is a clean and environmentally-friendly technology; it doesn't generate toxic waste or polluting by-products, such as metal salts or persistent organic compounds, which makes it particularly suitable for sustainable and organic agriculture programs."
"High-performance solutions, with a strong scientific basis, but also with an excellent cost-benefit ratio"
"One of the main benefits of our products, developed from specific enzymatic hydrolysis, is their high agronomic efficacy combined with real cost-effectiveness for the grower. This is due to both their molecular composition - designed to maximize bioactivity - and their adaptability to different crops, phenological moments and soil and climatic conditions. Although functionality depends on each formulation's specific technology, in general terms, two key aspects can be highlighted: a long-lasting physiological effect and precise action on metabolic and hormonal processes, which make it possible to anticipate crop responses (earliness), improve recovery after stress situations and, above all, maintain a balance in vegetative and reproductive development."
"For example, Balius Go is designed to act immediately in situations of abiotic stress or at times of high energy demand. Its formula boosts key metabolic pathways (such as photosynthesis and ATP synthesis), allowing for rapid and sustained crop recovery. On another level, Qlimax acts in the rhizosphere as a bioactivator of biogeochemical cycles and mobilizer of nutrients blocked in the soil, significantly increasing the bioavailability of essential elements such as phosphorus, iron or naturally chelated micronutrients. This not only promotes root development, but also improves the absorption efficiency of the soil-plant system as a whole."
"For its part, N80 stands out as a comprehensive solution for efficient nitrogen management in the plant. Its formulation is aimed at optimizing all nitrogen cycles (assimilation, redistribution and recycling), which translates into balanced development and an improvement in the crop's qualitative parameters, especially in high value-added species. As for Nawtilus, it is a liquid solution formulated with L-Quer technology, which makes it possible to adjust the nutritional balance, as it boosts all processes related to nutrition in a specific way. It can be applied in areas with environmental restrictions (Nitrate Vulnerable Zones) and crops under organic management, complying with the most demanding standards of current regulations."
"From an economic standpoint, our products not only show superior agronomic efficiency when they are correctly recommended, but they also have a significantly more competitive cost compared to other alternatives on the market. This is possible because we are a direct manufacturer, which allows us to keep the entire value chain under control, and also because the enzymatic hydrolysis process we use is energy efficient and sustainable," says Mario.
"In short, we provide high-performance solutions, with a strong scientific basis, but also with an excellent cost-benefit ratio for the grower."
