Lactopi Start
The first biostimulant based on the fermentation of human urine
Efficient, Affordable, Eco-friendly
Fermenting human urine: why ?
Raw urine
Low NPK content
per liter: 9g of N / 2g of P / 2,7g of K
17 000 L/ha
to account for 35kg of phosphorus
Fermented urine
High concentration
bacteria and micronutrients
25L/ha
to solubilize 35kg of phosphorus in soil
LACTOPI Start
A root biostimulant to secure crop emergence & early development, and improve the efficiency of the use of soil nutrients.
The Lactopi Start is based on the fermentation of human urine with the bacterial strain Lactobacillus paracasei. Isolated from soil in the South-West of France, this rhizobacterium has 3 interesting properties to secure early-stage vegetative growth, increase the efficiency of fertilizers, and improve plant tolerance to abiotic stresses.
Solubilization of soil phosphorus
Stimulation of root growth
for enhanced uptake of water and nutrients within the rhizosphere
Stimulation of mycorrhization
A safe & eco-friendly biostimulant
approved for use in organic agriculture
Toopi Organics’ filtration and fermentation process eliminates 100% of pathogens and up to 90% of micropollutants, ensuring a sanitized, stable product, safe for users and the environment.

Lactopi Start I Urine-Based Biostimulant I Urine fermentation I Fertilizer replacement
Lactopi Start is a root biostimulant derived from the fermentation of human urine with a bacterial strain naturally present in the soil. Although urine contains NPK, Lactopi Start is not a urine-based fertilizer. It is a microbial product that can complement or partially replace fertilizers. It contains phosphate-solubilizing bacteria. Several trials have shown that Lactopi Start can replace up to 50% of phosphate-base or starter fertilizers (DAP for instance). Produced in France, Lactopi Start is approved for use in organic farming in all the European countries in which it was approved.
