BIOZYME BIOZYME TM is a unique formulation developed to enhance plant and crop performance. It influences plant nutrient uptake that enhances fruit set, fruit numbers, fruit quality and general crop performance. BIOZYME was developed for the demanding high yielding crop system that requires better quality and higher yield. INTRODUCTION BIOZYME is a bio-stimulant that combines the power of natural plant extracts and naturally occurring macro and micronutrients to enhance crop performance and physiological processes in crops and plants. BIOZYME is a product in use by Latin American farmers in a wide range of crops to provide outstanding results for more than 18 years. BIOZYME can provide better and more uniform fruit development under high crop demanding situations. BIOZYME enhances fruit quality parameters in vegetables and fruit crops such as total soluble solid content (Brix level), carbohydrate content, increases sugar and flavor, and increase antioxidant and vitamins levels. BIOZYME balanced-composition gives its unique and innovative properties that propel and stimulate plant growth, plant nutrition uptake, fruit development and consequently better yield performance. BIOZYME can be applied before and/or during flowering, fruit setting and fruit growth as a foliar spray. It is a safe-to-use product and is not phytotoxic. The application ensures required plant nutrients that optimize fruit setting and activates the growth of bigger and tender fruits.

RELEVANT RESEARCH PEER REVIEW CITATIONS ARE: BIOZYME applied as a foliar application enhanced zinc uptake much higher than typical mineral zinc application alone in soybean plants even in soils with acceptable levels of available zinc in Brazil. Zinc fertilization increased soybean yield, even in a soil with micronutrient availability above critical level. (Ferreira, L., et al, 2012). BIOZYME applied to citrus trees Washington Navel and Thomson (Citrus sinensis (L) Osb.) increased fruit set and final fruits retained per plant (Galvan et al, 2010). The use of BIOZYME complemented the mineral fertilization in lettuce production increasing commercial yields (Garcia, A., and J. Leon, 2010). In Ghana, Africa, BIOZYME as a foliar application increased total fruit yields in treated plants, slightly increased the chlorophyll content of the leaves, and increased seed number per fruit seemingly played a significant role in enhancing the yield of tomato, and may be applied at a rate of 500 ml ha-1 for maximum effect (J. Ofosu-Anim, E. T. Blay & L. Bening, 2007). Plants treated with BIOZYME resulted in higher fruit set, yield, higher fruit weight and volume, more total soluble solids, higher total sugars and longer shelf life (Sharma et al 2009). The application of BIOZYME to pepper plants (Capsicum annun) can increase plant nitrate assimilation and increase foliar dry weight and fruit yield per plant (Romero, L, 2002) BIOZYME can increase tuber number, sets and commercial seed when applied to potato seed production (Caldiz, D, 1996). Foliar application of BIOZYME to pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) grown under greenhouse induced higher levels and content of nonstructural carbohydrates, glucose, sucrose, and fructose (Belekbir et al, 1996). BIOZYME significantly improved emergence rate, percent emergence, final stand and number of ears of sweet corn in the first planting, and the percent emergence final stand, plant dry weight, and number of ears in the second planting (Campos-Cruz, et al 1994). BIOZYME can increase yield and weight of fruit in tomato Lycupersicum sculentum (Quintalan and Rojas 1990).
MODE OF ACTION BIOZYME has a unique composition that combines essential nutrients with natural plant extracts that biologically activate plant functions. The activation of plant functions help the formation of plant metabolites and trigger biochemical reactions that promotes plant growth and performance. Demonstration of responses of BIOZYME impact in tomato roots at different doses. Research studies have demonstrated that application of BIOZYME stimulates natural plant production of compounds that enhances cell division and elongation. In bioassay tests performed at the University of Sao Paulo Brazil, research results indicated that BIOZYME provided consistently physiological activation that typically favors plant growth. Results indicated responses after 5 days. Treatments were water, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 ml/l-water of BIOZYME (Source: University of Sao Paulo Brazil).
Impact of BIOZYME in tomato roots also treated with water (control) and 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 ml/l-water of BIOZYME (Source: University of Sao Paulo Brazil) BIOZYME not only provided required nutrients for cell activation but also stimulate cellular differentiation, ensuring the number and strength of floral buds that contribute to a higher number of fruits. The application of BIOZYME during fruit growth results in the formation of more epidermis cells, allowing the fruits to increase their size and commercial grade consistency. BIOZYME affects positively some important physiological processes such as photosynthesis, nutrient and carbohydrates translocation-intensively to growing
fruits. As a result of these positive metabolic changes, the yields increased and quality and uniformity of fruits are improved.

RESULTS OF BIOZYME IN TOMATO Figure 1. Evaluation of BiIOZYME rates (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 L/ha, UTC = Untreated control) on tomato, (Lycopersicum sculentum) variety Rio Grande determinate growth, fruit set. Trials conducted in Compostela, State of Nayary, Mexico, 2010. BIOZYME at 2 L/ha shows an increment of 47% of number of fruit set per cluster, also increase 17.8% fruit weight (data not shown), followed by BIOZYME 1.5 and 1 L/ha with increase of 28 and 23.5%, last one also increased the fruit weight by 12.6% (data not shown).
Figure 2. Evaluation of rates of BIOZYME (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 L/ha, UTC = Untreated control) on tomato, (Lycopersicum sculentum) var. Rio Grande determinate growth, yield performance at different cuts. Trials conducted in Compostela, State of Nayary, Mexico, 2010. BIOZYME 1 L/ha, 89% more yield than control, followed by BIOZYME 1.5 and 2 L/ha with 53% more than UTC, however, there were no statistical difference between BIOZYME treatments (total harvest), all treatments were different with the control. Despite BIOZYME 2 L/ha increase the weight of fruits, BIOZYME 1 L/ha increase weight of fruits as well the number of fruit set.
Figure 3. Evaluation of rates of BIOZYME (0.5L/ha 3x, 1L/ha 3x, 1.5L/ha 3x, 2L/ha 3x, 1L/ha, UTC=untreated) on percentage of tomato (Lycopersicum sculentum) fruit set. Trials conducted in Quitman, State of Georgia, USA in 2011. All treatments with BIOZYME increased fruit set. BIOZYME 1 and 1.5 L/ha 3x had an increment of 28 and 34.5% of fruits per cluster, respectively; also BIOZYME 1 L/ha 3x increase weight of XL (15%), and LG (3%) fruits, as well as the number of XL fruits, all values compared with the control.
