Provivi pheromones for crop protection
What does it do, how does it work, who is it aimed at?
Provivi is make pheromones to disrupt mating in a wide range of pests and crops. This is for ALL of us, all over the world. Provivi pheromones offer nontoxic modes of controlling crop pests, including those that are devastating maize in Africa, rice in Asia, corn throughout the world, vegetables, etc. Resistance to traits and pesticides is rapidly advancing, such that pesticide use is indiscriminate and causes widespread ecological damage in many parts of the world. It damages farmers’ and consumers’ health.
Competitively, what gives this technology an edge?
Provivi has invented new ways to prepare these complex molecules using biological processes, which brings costs down to where they can be applied on lower value row crops as well as high value fruits and vegetables. Transformative technology.
What stage of development is this technology at right now?
Successful field trials all over the world. Scale up demonstrated. Now waiting on registration in many parts of the world.
