Elicit Plant
Elicit Plant, a French agribiotechnology company formed in 2017, has developed a proprietary technology platform that increases the physiological resilience of crops while preserving natural resources. With laboratories in the Charente region of France, and a Brazilian branch in Sao Paulo, the firm has developed an innovative biostimulant using phytosterol, a molecule found in plants.
