A KAUST researcher cites MiZax trial results.
MiZax isn’t a fertilizer added to the soil; Salim Al-Babili describes it as a synthetic mimic of a plant-growth signal, designed to help crops use existing resources better. In a potato pilot in Qassim, he says production rose by almost half. In trials with King Abdulaziz University, wheat yields increased by 55–95% and pearl-millet yields by 60–120%, according to Al-Babili. In Taiwan, he says, rice growers cut fertilizer use in half. The results bring together two kinds of payoff: higher yields in some trials, and less fertilizer for rice growers. Al-Babili says the findings paved the way for commercial deployment. KAUST and SEQUENCIVE established namya to bring MiZax to agricultural markets locally and internationally; KAUST announced its official launch on July 2, 2026.
