Protects plants from heat, drought, cold, salinity and UV
Promotes antioxidants
Improves flavour and colour
Improved maturity in high UV growing conditions
Reduces disease susceptibility
Technical Data:
Indra is a product that improves growth and quality of crops by helping them cope with stress caused by heat, cold, salinity, drought and high UV light. Stress causes crops to produce toxins (ROS) that damage cells and reduce quality.
Indra promotes the plant’s own antioxidant production and supplies the nutrients needed to make their manufacture possible. Indra can help protect crops from loss of quality and yield, improve colour, and reduce susceptibility to disease.

Higher marketable yield to earn growers more from their crop
Levity’s scientists understand how crops respond to stress; this is helping us find ways to help crops help themselves. Indra has been created to enable farmers to use high salt irrigation water without losing yields, and to help crops carry on growing when hit by stressful growing conditions. Our research shows that stimulating the plant’s ability to protect itself from toxins produced when stressed can lift yield and quality in all crops.
The whole world relies on plants to use energy from sunlight to make food, but the wrong balance of sunlight can damage crops. In the Southern hemisphere, the ozone layer is thinner and more UVB rays get through the atmosphere and onto crops. Indra can stimulate production of antioxidants to give growers better crops.
In arid and semi-arid parts of the world, overuse of groundwater aquifers is leading to seawater in infiltration. Over time the level of salt in the water fed to crops in many parts of the world is increasing, and it is reducing the yield of the crops it used to. Levity’s research shows that by helping plants remove toxins that accumulate when they take in salty water, yield loss can be prevented. Indra helps farmers get higher yields with better quality.
The climate is changing and weather patterns are becoming less predictable. More crops are losing yield due to periods of high or low temperatures. By priming crops to allow them to cope when the weather gets tough, Indra helps farmers to safeguard yields and quality.
Stress weakens plant cells, and increases the level and severity of disease. Indra reduces the impact of stress producing stronger crops that are better able to resist disease. Levity’s research is demonstrating that managing stress can significantly reduce incidence of many fungal diseases.
At levity, we know that science makes the difference. Our team of scientist’s regularly upload insights explaining the science behind our products, and why it works so well.
oron is a tricky nutrient to get right, as there is significant variation between crops in the way they transport and metabolise it. On avocado it is more complicated than on many crops due to its production of two types of sugar one of which...

Independent research with Lancaster University (2012) looking at the effect of Indra on salinity stress on tomato.
Salt was introduced to irrigation water and plant yield was measured. This experiment looked at Indra and the same nutrients minus Levity Redox technology.
Indra allows crops to tolerate salinity. It maintains normal stomatal conductance and photosynthesis this results in not only maintaining yield where salinity is present but also increased yield under non saline irrigation
Independent research with Lancaster University (2012) looking at the effect of Indra on salinity stress on tomato.
Salt was introduced until it reduced stomatal conductance (a key indicator of salinity stress) by half over control. This experiment looked at Indra and the same nutrients minus Levity Redox (Technology in Indra).
Indra reversed the effect of salinity on stomatal conductance in tomato. The same nutrients without Indra’s Redox Chemistry had no effect.
