WHO ARE WE?
The originators of OII-YS™, a uniquely formulated natural adjuvant, and O1-YS™, an OMRI Listed® organic adjuvant, both which are chitosan-based and specially formulated to encourage maximum growth and yield enhancement for agriculture and horticulture crop production.
Maximizing your per acre volume requires getting the ultimate performance from everything you apply! Our chitosan based adjuvant products utilize a unique chemistry proven to greatly increase the efficacy of nematicides, fungicides, fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides and agricultural nutritional sprays. Over the years, our product line has expanded to include both an EPA approved fungicide and an EPA approved nematicide. Our unique synergistic blend of principal functioning agents such as chitosan, yucca, quillaja and other ingredients have combined super powers to offer growers superior agricultural agents.
With our adjuvant products, proven results are a more uniform distribution of any material which increases the retention and absorption of sprays by reducing surface tension of the spray droplets. When applied to the soil, our products improve the wetting of hydrophobic soils by increasing water penetration into the soil mix.

Celebrating 10 Years!
OII-YS™ (adjuvant) was developed in 2008 by a collaboration between agronomist Robin Borden and plant molecular biologist Dr. Andre Blanchard for the agricultural industry. Soon after the product development, the O2YS Corp was formed with the help of Mark Nichols and Dan Dunn. This video captures the the history of results, business partners and the success of the product. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our story.

Meet the Scientist of O2YS
André Blanchard, Ph.D.
Vice President,
Technology & Operations
Our proprietary manufacturing operations are located in Broussard, LA close to where our scientist lives. The “science” behind the formula was created, developed and is manufactured under the supervision of Dr. André Blanchard. Originally from south Louisiana, André spent most of his young life growing up in Inverness, Scotland (you’ll be treated to both accents). He attended the University of the West of Scotland getting his bachelors in Applied Biology. André went on to gain his Ph.D. in Plant Molecular Biology at the University of Exeter in southwest England. From there, he returned home in 1992.
André brings a combined 25 years experience in academia and the private sector. André has worked with industrial scale recycling technologies and specialty chemicals manufacture. Within these industries, he has gained experience in directing product and process research and development. These efforts led in the technical development of a process (now a US Patent) for manufacturing a key raw material. André is also experienced in small business management, consulting, technology transfer, commercializing technologies, project management, process design and manufacturing strategies. He also initiated several collaborative projects with leading universities involving several external grant funded efforts from Federal agencies.
André’s association with chitosan over the past 18 years has involved researching and formulating new products, designing manufacturing processes, marketing and commercialization.
André is leveraging his experiences to leading future innovations of a variety of products, and constantly improving the manufacturing process.
