Natural Crop Protection
Below is an overview of the plants we can supply for the production of Natural Crop Protection products. Additionally, we can collaborate on developing new custom-made products using our extract library made from our unique flowers and plants cultivated in the Netherlands. Consider the thousands of different varieties of crocus, daffodils, tulips, irises and many more, each with its unique chemical composition.
New sources of natural crop protectants are needed. Unlike conventional chemical crop protection products that are based on a single compound, plants produce combinations of compounds that in synergy are active against invasive pests.
Plants are a rich source of bioactive metabolites that stimulate growth and flowering. These molecules also protect the plants against diseases and pests. We can learn a lot from the self defense mechanism and use these plant tactics as an ingredient in the development of new products.
In addition to our extracts library, we leverage our knowledge of crops to determine which plants to screen in bioassays. At the variety and cultivar levels, certain plants exhibit a degree of resistance. Applying this expertise increases the likelihood of finding hits and leads, facilitating faster R&D progress.
Why wouldn’t we benefit from all the good things that nature offers us!
