On-Farm Bio Pesticide Production
Eliminating the Usage of Chemical Pesticides by locally producing Biopesticides
Challenges
- (To eliminate the) usage of chemicals in agriculture: Chemicals are killing the soil and braking it's balance, as the products not only kill the diseases but also natural enemies. Also we have been hearing about global diseases, super bacteria coming from the usage of chemicals in agriculture. For instance, couple of days ago NY Times released this: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/06/health/drug-resistant-candida-auris.html?smid=nytcore-iosshare
- (To make an) affordable agriculture: As chemicals have whats we call "resistance", as much chemical as you use, more you must use, and less it's gonna work. Which means year by year agriculture is becoming more expensive, making the activity itself harder and almost unfordable as making food more expensive for people.
- (To be more) effective controlling soil and plant diseases: As microbial products don't have resistance and they don't aect the environment, you can use super dosages to control plant and soil diseases, and as you are doing by yourself on farm, it is also aordable, even if you use a dosage 10 times bigger than a chemical treatment. The more you use, more results you have, and as we said, even if you use 10 times more, it is still cheaper (around 40% cheaper)
Towards a Solution
We have developed an integrated technology comprised by a complete programme of products and services for biological pest management on farm: The solubio Experince!
- Labfarm: a laboratory for the production of bacteria and fungi on farm, following industrial patterns and standards.
- Biofabrica On Farm: an equipment with proprietary technology for multiplication of fungi and bacteria of agricultural use in the farm.
- Solufarm: A kit with bacteria and fungi, sanitizer, antifoam and the food for growing the bacteria/fungi.
- Support On Farm: A professional team to support farmers to produce biological products on farm: Training people, checking processes, recommending treatments, checking results, checking customer satisfaction and so on.
