OBM Microsense®
Enzyme-Based Bio-Insecticide

A Natural Alternative to Chemicals – Fast Action, No Residues

OBM Microsense® is an innovative enzyme-based bioinsecticide designed to provide effective pest control while reducing chemical residues in crops. Built on a dual-action mechanism, it offers farmers a natural and reliable solution for integrated pest management.

Why Choose OBM Microsense®?


  • Natural & Safe: Enzyme-based, free from persistent chemical residues.
  • Fast Action: Visible effects within minutes on target pests.
  • Broad Spectrum: Effective against sucking pests, leaf pests, fruit pests, and field insects.
  • Export-Friendly: Low residue risk reduces chances of rejection in international markets.
  • Eco-Conscious: Supports sustainable and environmentally friendly farming.

Mode of Action (MoA)


  • Primary Effect – Chitinase Enzyme:
    Breaks down the chitin in insect exoskeletons, weakening their structure → dehydration, loss of protection, and mortality.
  • Secondary Effect (Complementary Claim):
    May interfere with sodium channels, causing rapid paralysis and death within 1–2 minutes.

Soil Cycles Activated by Microsense®


  • Nitrogen Cycle: Protease, urease, nitrogenase → ensure balanced nitrogen supply.
  • Phosphorus Cycle: Phytase and phosphatases → unlock phosphorus bound in soil.
  • Microbial Activity: Dehydrogenase → monitors and drives overall soil vitality.

Benefits in the Field


  • Faster residue decomposition → cleaner fields and improved soil structure.
  • Higher nutrient use efficiency → more crop from the same fertilizer input.
  • Better crop resilience → plants cope better with environmental stress.
  • Measurable soil health → enzyme indexes track management improvements.


Microsense® Soil Enzymes
Activating Nature’s Power in Every Field

From Numbers to Benefits

Quantitative Enzyme Activities (U/g): These values (e.g., protease 300 U/g, amylase 1750 U/g) are highly technical. For marketing, avoid exact numbers and focus on functions and benefits. Keep detailed values for technical brochures.

Highlighting Enzyme Cycles

Enzyme Cycles: The grouping into C, N, P, and DHA indices is scientifically correct and could be emphasized in agronomist-oriented material.

Supporting Plant Resilience

Stress Tolerance Claim: Soil enzymes indirectly help stress tolerance by improving nutrient cycling and root support. Claims should be framed as ‘supporting plant resilience’ rather than direct stress resistance.

Dehydrogenase as a Vitality Indicator

Soil Health Measurement: Position dehydrogenase as an indicator of microbial vitality; avoid overselling as a ‘standalone soil health test.’

Navigating Regulatory Definitions

Regulatory Aspect: Enzyme-based products may be categorized differently across markets (e.g., EU Fertilizer Regulation vs. biostimulant registration). Ensure labeling complies with local definitions.
