Problem
Modern agriculture faces significant challenges due to reliance on synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, which can harm the environment and biodiversity. Up to 75% of agricultural production is lost in the field and post-harvest due to abiotic stresses, pathogens, and poor conservation practices. Farmers need sustainable alternatives that can protect crops, enhance yields, and reduce environmental impact.
Solution
Agreen Biosolutions develops and manufactures organic active ingredients based on ozonized oils for biostimulation and crop protection. Their proprietary ozonolysis process combines unsaturated vegetable oils with ozone to create ozonides, which enhance plant defenses and provide biocontrol effects against pathogens. The resulting products, including OZ.ON Agrioil, stimulate the plant's Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR), promoting the production of antioxidants and strengthening cell walls. This approach reduces the need for synthetic inputs, minimizes environmental impact, and improves crop resilience against biotic and abiotic stresses, leading to increased yields and extended post-harvest shelf life.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes farmers, growers, and agricultural enterprises seeking sustainable alternatives to synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, as well as those aiming to improve crop resilience, yield, and post-harvest quality.
Features
- Ozonized oil-based formulations that act as both biostimulants and elicitors of plant defense mechanisms
- Induction of Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) to enhance plant immunity against pathogens
- Increased production of antioxidants to protect against abiotic stresses such as salinity, drought, and oxidative damage
- Improved cell wall integrity and leaf thickness to limit pathogen penetration
- Enhanced post-harvest shelf life by reducing water loss, maintaining turgor, and preventing browning
- Proprietary production process that maximizes yields while minimizing environmental impact through zero waste and renewable energy use
- REACH regulation registration, confirming product safety and enabling scaled-up production in the European territory
- Can be applied to various crops throughout their life cycle without leaving residues or requiring a waiting period
