Designed for use on fruit trees, berries, legumes and canola, Biopolin® is a pollination enhancer. It is sprayed on the crops while they are blossoming, stimulating pollinators to become more active, and thus they are more often visited by these insects.
Biopolin is manufactured using advanced microencapsulation technology, which prevents the rapid evaporation of the stimulants shortly after product application. The substances are placed in microcapsules and are gradually released. Therefore, the stimulating effect on pollinators is stable and extended in time.
HOW to use Biopolin®
benefits
It is found that the number of pollinating insects visiting the flowers of crops significantly increases after the application of Biopolin®. This mainly applies to honey bees and other pollinators (red mason bees, bumblebees...etc).

“Immediately after application, the bees become more active. Three weeks later, I could still smell the Biopolin, as it continued to work. Our apples to which Biopolin was applied, clearly were benefiting from it. Honeycrisp were excellent, and there was a decrease in bitter pit.”
– Stuart Bauman, ON farmer
We worked with Biopolin on some trial acres. Impressed with the results in year one. On apples measured, we saw an increase of 15% in size. Biopolin tankmixed very well for simple application and convenient. Manitree will use Biopolin in 2023 on apples and pears.
