Root protection meets growth promotion
How biosolutions both shield and strengthen crops against nematodes, microscopic roundworms that invade crop root systems by the millions
Nematodes cost farmers an estimated $360 billion annually in crop losses worldwide
Our biosolution not only defends crops but enhances their growth, delivering dual benefits for farmers.
The challenge
Crops under threat
Beneath every healthy field lies an invisible threat. Nematodes, microscopic roundworms thinner than a human hair, silently invade crop root systems by the millions. Using needle-like structures in their mouths, they pierce through plant cell walls, creating devastating consequences for crop health.
The challenge is twofold: these pests are not only invisible to the naked eye, but their damage often goes unnoticed until it’s too late. As they feed, they compromise the plant’s ability to absorb water and nutrients, leading to stunted growth, reduced yields and, in severe cases, complete crop failure.
The solution
Protection and promotion in one
Our biosolution works in three powerful ways: it colonizes roots to create a protective barrier, actively kills nematodes while inhibiting egg hatch, and enhances plant growth by increasing photosynthesis efficiency. This triple-action approach not only defends crops but actually helps them thrive, creating stronger, more productive plants.
The benefits
Better yields, healthier soils
This innovative approach delivers multiple advantages for modern farming. While controlling nematode populations, it simultaneously promotes plant growth and enhances stress tolerance. The solution works in harmony with natural soil processes, helping farmers achieve both immediate protection and long-term soil health. It’s effective across a wide range of crops, making it a versatile tool for modern farming methods.
