Product Description

Plant Diseases causes around $220 Billion worth of crop loss every year and is considered as a threat to food security whereas the supposed solution for this problem - The fungicides have been causing problem of its own, affecting everything from soil to air and is basically a -cidal formulation. Moreover, the approach itself is wrong; Using fungicides, we are trying to create a barrier or wall around the plants so that the pathogen wouldn't reach the plant which is like wearing PPE kit which we know is temporary. So, we offer a solution that works better than current alternatives without any of its side effects, We offer Plant Immune Stimulator - Our Proprietary Phytochemical Formulation that works like the medicine we consume and makes plant capable of defending itself by activating Systemic Acquired Resistance - A Kind of Plant Immunity that confers untargeted, long lasting, robust defense - and increasing the activities of Antioxidant and Defense hormones in Plants. This way we make crops resistant to pathogens eliminating the need for artificial protection.
