MDT® MICRO DRIVE TECHNOLOGY
Proprietary technology for extracting high-purity bacterial metabolites with maximum biological activity. Activating Induced Systemic Resistance (ISR) and Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) for total crop protection and abiotic stress resilience.
TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
MDT® (Micro Drive Technology) is Kingenta's proprietary biostimulant platform engineered to harvest biologically active bacterial metabolites. By utilizing a non-destructive low-temperature process, MDT® preserves the purity and potency of sensitive signaling compounds, delivering targeted physiological activation to crop receptors.
HIGH-PURITY BACTERIAL METABOLITE EXTRACTION
MDT® uses specific bacterial extracts obtained through an advanced low-temperature extraction system. Unlike aggressive chemical or high-heat processing methods, this non-destructive process retains 100% of the natural metabolite structure, enzymatic peptides, and signaling compounds.
The resulting bio-active compounds exhibit high specificity when binding to plant physiological receptors, triggering rapid intracellular responses that prepare crops to cope with severe biotic pathogens and abiotic stress conditions.
MECHANISM OF ACTION
MDT® activates interconnected cellular defense pathways within the plant, establishing a state of physiological pre-arming known as Priming.
ISR · Induced Systemic Resistance
ISR is a physiological defense response induced by beneficial microorganisms and bacterial extracts. Its activation is mainly associated with the metabolic pathways of jasmonic acid and ethylene, protecting roots and localized plant tissues against pathogen ingress.
SAR · Systemic Acquired Resistance
SAR establishes broad-spectrum systemic protection throughout the entire plant vascular system. Mediated by salicylic acid signaling, SARpre-arms non-infected foliage, stems, and reproductive organs against secondary pathogen attacks.
Priming Effect
ISR & SAR activation generates a physiological state known as Priming. In this state, the plant remains pre-armed to respond faster, stronger, and more intensively when external drought, heatwave, salinity, or pathogen stress occurs—without expending unnecessary energy during normal growth.
WHAT MDT® PROVIDES TO CROPS
By combining high metabolite purity with receptor-specific signaling, MDT® delivers comprehensive physiological benefits across all crop developmental stages.
Physiological Crop Activation
Stimulates cellular respiration and enzymatic pathways to maximize growth vigor and yield potential.
Self-Defence Mechanism Activation
Triggers natural defense cascades, arming plants against environmental threats before damage occurs.
Improved Nutrient Uptake
Enhances root membrane permeability and nutrient transport during periods of high metabolic demand.
ISR & SAR Dual Pathway Activation
Combines jasmonic/ethylene and salicylic acid signaling for total localized and systemic plant immunity.
Abiotic & Biotic Stress Resilience
Prepares crops to withstand heatwaves, drought, soil salinity, cold snaps, and pathogen pressure.
High Purity & Biological Activity
Low-temperature extraction process guarantees maximum metabolite integrity and receptor binding affinity.
