Agritech & Crop Protection

Along with protein-based biocontrols, we are also focused on essential oils & buzz pollination as an efficient process for growers seeking high-quality crop yields & a strong repellent to crop damaging pests.

Our company has pioneered in crop protection & enhancement through controlled Bumblebee pollination. Bumblebee pollination is a vital and efficient process for growers seeking high-quality crop yields. As natural pollinators, bumblebees play a crucial role in enhancing fruit and vegetable production, leading to better harvests and improved crop quality.

Unlike other pollinators, bumblebees have unique characteristics that make them exceptional at this task. Their large size allows them to carry larger pollen loads, ensuring enhanced cross-pollination between plants. Furthermore, bumblebees have specialized techniques, such as ‘buzz pollination,’ which effectively releases pollen from flowers. By integrating bumblebee hives into agricultural practices, growers can significantly increase pollination success rates, leading to better fruit set, increased fruit size, and better crop uniformity. Embracing bumblebee pollination as a sustainable and eco-friendly approach is not only benefiting growers economically but is also contributing to the preservation of biodiversity and the overall health of ecosystems.

Essential oils are secondary metabolites synthesized by plants, and they play very important roles in plant defense (both against biotic and abiotic stresses) and signaling processes, including also the attraction of pollinators and beneficial insects. They have the advantage of reducing the adverse effects of chemical insecticides on human health and environment and at the same time increasing horticultural crop productivity and yield.
