Problem
Crop losses due to insect pests remain a significant challenge in agriculture, often addressed with broad-spectrum chemical pesticides that can harm beneficial insects, disrupt ecosystems, and lead to pesticide resistance. Current pest-control methods may also leave undesirable chemical residues on produce.
Solution
NOOVI develops and produces marking pheromones that deter insect pests from laying eggs on crops, offering a targeted and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional pesticides. These pheromones mimic the natural signals insects use to avoid ovipositing in areas already saturated with eggs, thus reducing pest populations without harming beneficial species or the environment. By applying NOOVI's pheromone-based solutions, farmers can protect crop yields, minimize chemical inputs, and promote sustainable agricultural practices. This approach helps to maintain ecological balance while ensuring food safety and reducing the risk of pesticide resistance.
