OII-YS™ (chitosan 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. Several years later, as the market demand increased, the team established Organisan Corporation as the exclusive retail partner. This joint venture has allowed the manufacturing operations to remain under O2YS corporate guidance. In addition, it has allowed us to develop partnerships to invest in additional years of research and development and towards the industrial applications and manufacturing processes we utilize today at the O2YS plant in Broussard, LA. Our core team of founders continue to be involved in every step of development, which has resulted in the most sophisticated chitosan products available to the marketplace!
Organisan Corporation has long recognized the benefits and potentials of chitosan and yucca. The company has strategically positioned and established itself as the market leader in chitosan-based agriculture and turf products. We have and continue to leverage our proprietary technology in how we manipulate chitosans in our formulations to emphasize desired functionalities. We also continue to fulfill our commitment to use natural ingredients. Natural ingredients are a better assurance against risk of negative side effects either due to the product chemistry, concentration effect, or phytotoxicity.

The sales and marketing team at O2YS is led by a true believer in the products and science. Mark worked with one of the largest landscape companies in the Southeast for over 30 years specializing in high end installation and design management. Mark came to O2YS after personally using the OII-YS™, and saw positive effects that literally blew him away. Mark says it is truly, much easier to sell a product when it works so well. The company’s credo and new trademark “Believe the Unbelievable®”, came straight from Mark at inception of the company.
Mark has had the privilege to travel all over the US, as well as multiple countries to share these truly unique and amazing products. OII-YS™ is sold under our name and private label.
Mark looks forward to meeting you and working with you personally to help assess your needs from organic gardening to mega farm to international distribution. Mark is so proud of the entire team at O2YS. You will be too.
André Blanchard, Ph.D.
Vice President, Technology and 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.
Tom Wood
Western Regional Manager / Product Specialist
Tom Wood grew up on a potato, cereal grain, and alfalfa farm in Eastern Idaho, with both irrigated and dryland acres. Tom has built several ag related small businesses over the years, including a custom haying operation, and with his brother Matt, a custom application business, and a farm retail business focusing on biological and alternative inputs, while still managing his own farm. Tom is always looking for “alternative” methods, systems, and products to help lower inputs and increase profitability on his own operation. After experimenting with the O2YS and Organisan line of chitosan products on his own farm, the products were added to the retail business portfolio, and one thing led to another, and Tom is now the Western Territory Manager for O2YS Corp, and Organisan Corp.
