Approved under the AMM MFSC (Matière Fertilisante et Supports de Culture) N°1190706 since November 2019, our Moka biostimulant continues its development in France and abroad to meet the needs of winegrowers wishing to optimize their yields.
A formulation based on yeast extracts to activate the vine's metabolic process throughout berry development.
Thanks to its formulation based on yeast extracts, naturally rich in free amino acids, organic compounds, vitamins, minerals and phytohormones, Moka promotes the assimilation of elements necessary for proper plant development. Applied during fruit set, it stimulates cell division and expansion in the fruit, as well as the production of assimilates. Moka thus ensures more even vine growth and improved berry development. The addition of yeast extracts also stimulates photosynthetic activity, improving vine vigor.

Agrauxine teams in the field to measure Moka's effectiveness
In the various trials carried out, ratings and analyses of musts showed that the application of Moka, at a rate of 2L/ha in 2 applications from the beginning of fruit set (BBCH 71) and at bunch closure (BBCH 79), enabled :
- an average increase in berry weight (+8% on average compared with the control),
- more homogeneous bunches with better berry development,
- an increase in the assimilable nitrogen content of the must (+10% on average compared with the control), thus favoring the fermentation process and ultimately wine quality.
These convincing results, demonstrating the ability of our biostimulant to promote healthy berry development and improve berry quality, were rewarded with a bronze medal at the SIVAL Innovation 2021 competition.
Recognized efficiency drives growth in France
On the strength of these initial conclusive results, Moka is pursuing its development in various French wine-growing regions, notably Champagne.

After proving its worth during the 2020 campaign, Moka was officially launched in Champagne in April.

But its development doesn't stop there: to optimize yields and improve quality criteria, Moka can also be applied to crops other than vines, namely pome and stone fruits, citrus fruits, strawberries/red fruits, solanaceous plants and cucurbits.
Some fifteen trials are currently underway across France.

Convincing results that also contribute to Moka's development abroad
The effectiveness of Moka in promoting uniform, high-quality harvests has also been demonstrated outside France.
After more than a year of successful marketing in Greece, it has just been launched this year in Spain, via our partner Certis España, for use on various crops such as table grapes, citrus fruits and solanaceous plants.
Moka is also pursuing its development across the Atlantic, particularly in the United States and Chile, for use on Vines and Table Grapes.
