Zaidi

Brassinolide-Based Plant Growth Promoter for Tea

Zaidi is a scientifically formulated plant growth promoter based on Brassinolides (0.025% Homobrassinolide)—a class of naturally occurring phytosteroids found in plants. These compounds are essential regulators of plant growth and development, influencing processes such as cell division, elongation, vascular differentiation, seed germination, flowering, and resistance to environmental stress.

Zaidi is designed for foliar application and is quickly absorbed by the plant, ensuring prompt physiological responses. It is non-toxic, biodegradable, and environmentally safe—making it ideal for sustainable farming systems in Kenya and the wider East African region.

  • Non-Toxic, Biodegradable and Environmentally Safe

  • Apply 100ml per Hectare/
    40ml per Acre

  • Better Yields without compromising Quality

  • Enhanced Early Growth

    The facts about our Plant Growth Promoter for Tea

    Using Zaidi consistently across a growing season results in noticeable improvements in both plant health and yield. Key benefits include:

    1. Enhanced Early Growth
      Promotes robust seedling establishment and vegetative growth, especially important after transplanting or pruning.

    2. Accelerated Bud Break
      In tea and other perennials, Zaidi stimulates early and uniform bud break, reducing dormancy periods.

    3. Increased Leaf Area & Shoot Density
      Encourages the formation of larger leaves and more pluckable or harvestable shoots per unit area.

    4. Reduction of ‘Banjhi’ Buds
      Minimizes the occurrence of unproductive or dormant buds, particularly in tea, leading to higher productivity.

    5. Improved Photosynthetic Rate
      Increases the efficiency of photosynthesis, boosting biomass accumulation and overall plant vitality.

    6. Stress Mitigation
      Helps plants recover faster from water stress, pruning shock, and other environmental challenges.

    7. Better Yield Without Compromising Quality
      Enables greater harvest volumes with consistent quality parameters—leaf size, color, and chemical content (in tea, for example).

    8. Low Application Rate and Cost-Effectiveness
      Just 40 ml per acre (or 100 ml per hectare), applied three times at monthly intervals during key growth phases.

    How Zaidi Works?

    Brassinolides like those found in Zaidi act at the cellular level to influence key stages of plant development. Once absorbed through the leaves, Zaidi enhances:

    • Photosynthesis efficiency: Boosts chlorophyll synthesis, enabling better light absorption and carbohydrate production.

    • Cell division and elongation: Stimulates rapid and healthy vegetative growth.

    • Nutrient partitioning: Ensures assimilates like sugars and proteins are directed to vital organs such as shoots, fruits, and roots.

    • Enzymatic activity: Modulates key enzymes involved in metabolic processes.

    • Stress tolerance: Increases the plant's resilience to drought, salinity, and temperature extremes.
