Circular Plant Strengthener and Growth Enhancer

Kaumera is an innovative plant strengthener and soil improver, developed and produced in the Netherlands. Based on a circular, bio-based polymer, Kaumera improves soil structure, enhances water retention and stimulates natural plant growth processes. The product is CE-marked and safe to use.

How Kaumera works

  • Water-binding capacity – retains water and releases it gradually to the plant.
  • Root development – supports strong and early root formation.
  • Energy and water efficiency – promotes photosynthesis, water transport and efficient energy allocation to fruit development.
  • Nutrient uptake – enhances natural processes for improved nutrient efficiency.

Kaumera also shows potential as a crop growth promoter, particularly by improving water and nutrient uptake under drought stress. Ongoing phase 2 research, following EU FPR PFC6 guidelines (plant biostimulants regulation), is being conducted to further substantiate these effects.

What is Kaumera?

Kaumera is a bio-based gel containing a unique combination of amino acids, polysaccharides and fatty acids. This composition improves soil quality and stimulates natural plant growth processes.

The product can be applied both as a plant growth enhancer and as a soil improver. It increases water retention capacity, supports nutrient uptake and contributes to healthier, more resilient crops.

Key benefits

  • Improved water management – retains moisture in the root zone, reducing irrigation needs.
  • Stronger root development – supports plants during the early growth phase.
  • Natural growth stimulation – promotes vitality, water use efficiency and crop yield.
  • Higher yields under drought stress – demonstrated in pot and field trials.
  • Transparent and safe – CE-marked and fully documented.
  • Circular product – derived from residual streams, biodegradable, with a low CO₂ footprint.

Practical application

Kaumera functions as a gel in the soil, forming a network that captures water and gradually releases it to the plant. This supports root growth, crop development and stress resilience.

  • Application: via irrigation (fertigation) or direct soil incorporation.
  • Interval: at least every 3 months.
  • Duration of effect: approx. 90 days.
