The Need: In the face of climate change and the diminishing efficacy of conventional pest control methods, the agricultural industry is in dire need of sustainable solutions to protect and enhance crop growth. The escalating disease pressure calls for innovative technologies that can bolster a plant's natural defense mechanisms while promoting healthy growth. Biopesticides and bio stimulants have emerged as promising natural alternatives, offering a much-needed response to these pressing challenges. This project focuses on advancing an existing biopesticide to provide effective disease control and growth promotion specifically tailored for tomato crops, be it in hydroponic systems or traditional farm fields.

The Technology: Biopesticides and bio stimulants are natural substances or organisms that are expertly formulated to augment a plant's innate abilities to fend off diseases and foster growth. This technology involves the coupling of biopescticides and bio stimulated to dramatically enhance delivery to the plant. Our technology acts as a catalyst, activating the plant's natural defense mechanisms, boosting nutrient absorption, and stimulating root development, ultimately leading to healthier and more robust crops.

Commercial Applications:

• Disease Control: The biopesticide component of this technology effectively targets and suppresses diseases that commonly afflict tomato crops, ensuring healthier plants and improved yield.
• Hydroponic Cultivation: The technology's adaptability to hydroponic systems allows for sustainable and efficient disease management and growth promotion in controlled environments.
• Field Cultivation: For farmers growing tomatoes in traditional farm fields, the technology provides a reliable and eco-friendly alternative to combat diseases and enhance crop growth, contributing to higher-quality produce.

Benefits/Advantages:

• Environmentally Friendly: As a natural solution, this technology minimizes environmental harm, preserving beneficial organisms and reducing chemical residues.
• Residue-Free Produce: The biopesticides and bio stimulants leave no harmful residues on tomatoes, ensuring safe and healthy consumption for end consumers.
• Enhanced Crop Quality: By harnessing the plant's inherent defense mechanisms and promoting growth, the technology results in superior crop quality, appearance, and taste.
• Sustainable Agriculture: With a reduced dependence on conventional pesticides, this technology supports sustainable farming practices, safeguarding ecosystems and fostering long-term agricultural viability.
• Climate Resilience: By bolstering the plant's resistance to diseases, the technology helps crops withstand changing environmental conditions, making them more resilient to climate-induced stresses.
