The problem with chemical fungicides

Farmers face repeated sprays with diminishing returns, residues that put export compliance at risk, and soils losing their microbial life. Validated, scalable biological alternatives are still scarce, and farmers often need a different product for every crop and problem.

  • Health risks for farmers and consumers
  • Environmental damage through soil and water contamination
  • Development of pest resistance
  • Regulatory and consumer pushback against toxic agrochemicals
  • Rising fungal disease pressure from climate change
The core proposition

One product for multiple crops with multiple applications

One multifunctional crop-protection formulation for cereals, vegetables, fruits and spices. Broad-crop applicability could simplify procurement, inventory, distribution, farmer adoption, marketing and manufacturing.
