How flavonoids reduce stress and boost yield

Flavonoids: the natural solution helping crops beat stress and boost yield.

In the face of unpredictable weather, rising input costs and mounting pressure for sustainable farming, growers are increasingly turning to biostimulants. But what makes Maxstim’s biostimulants so effective? The answer lies in one powerful class of natural compounds: flavonoids.

What are flavonoids?

Flavonoids are naturally occurring plant compounds found in fruits, vegetables and herbs. Known for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and protective properties, they play a vital role in plant health by helping crops respond to stress, fight disease and grow stronger.

In nature, flavonoids help plants:

Protect against UV radiation
Defend against pests and pathogens
Attract pollinators and aid reproduction
Stimulate nitrogen fixation
Manage oxidative stress from heat, drought, or pollution

How do flavonoids work in plants?

Under stress, plants produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can damage cells. Flavonoids act as antioxidants, neutralising these harmful molecules and helping plants recover faster and grow stronger.

They also:

Regulate plant hormones like auxin and cytokinins, balancing growth
Enhance photosynthesis and chlorophyll production
Stimulate root development and nutrient uptake
Influence gene expression for stress tolerance

Why Maxstim’s flavonoids make the difference

Maxstim has spent years refining its biostimulant formulations to maximise the impact of flavonoids using our proprietary Amphenox™ technology. This breakthrough concentrates secondary metabolites and bioactive flavonoids to support crops through every challenge, from heatwaves to tight harvest windows.
