What more could you ask for? Botanitec (Botanitec) was founded in late 2018 by chemical engineer Daniela Vaisman and this year is launching an antioxidant and root growth promoter of plant origin for the agricultural sector and the home. These are biostimulant products developed from plant waste that are used to improve crop yields. The antioxidant is used to reduce oxidative stress in plants and promote photosynthesis, impacting the growth and quality of the plant and its fruits, while also minimizing the effects of stress. The root growth promoter is an organic and natural product, rich in antioxidants, which improves the quality of plants in terms of their physiology and allows for greater root development and more efficient nutrient assimilation.

Botanitec has received funding from Corfo and has set up a factory in Cartagena. It is in talks with agricultural product distributors and angel investors to drive the company's growth.
