Proprietary R&D Platform
A unique and patented R&D platform, based on plant tissue culture, allows BSI to discover and develop botanical products that are sustainable, highly consistent and cost effective. This R&D platform eliminates the major barriers, such as supply and quality issues, that have prevented traditional botanicals from becoming truly commercially successful.
BSI has developed “ABM-01” based on a plant which is native to Chile, named Quillaja saponaria Molina. This product is the active ingredient used by BSI to produce the biopesticide Botristop®, and it will enable the production of the vaccine adjuvant QS-21 soon.

Botristop® is a broad spectrum biofungicide with a superior performance to prevent and control Botrytis cinerea, one of the most harmful fungal diseases in high value crops worldwide, responsible for hundreds of millions of dollars in losses every year.
Botristop®’s unique modes of action allow worldwide exports of top quality fresh produce, while meeting the world’s strictest MRL guidelines (Maximum Residue Limits).
Botristop® has been successfully launched and commercialized in Chile through a partnership between BSI and Syngenta since 2019, and will soon be registered in a number of key countries. This product will not be offered for sale or sold in the US under the name BOTRISTOP.
Excellent Botrytis control when used alone, as good as commercial standards and IPM programs.
