Plant-Based Pest Control Solutions
Terramera offers a range of pest control products that utilize natural ingredients to manage pests effectively. These products provide farmers with an eco-friendly alternative to chemical pesticides, aligning with sustainable agriculture goals. By incorporating plant-based ingredients, Terramera’s solutions are designed to support soil health and biodiversity, crucial elements in regenerative farming.
Actigate Technology
Actigate technology is a cornerstone of Terramera’s product offerings. This platform enhances the delivery and efficacy of active ingredients in pest control products. Actigate improves the penetration of these ingredients into pest cells, making them more effective than conventional formulations. The technology operates by attaching to the active ingredient, escorting it through the pest cell membrane, and releasing it inside the cell, thereby increasing its uptake and effectiveness.
The benefits of Actigate technology include:
- Increased Efficacy: Enhances the effectiveness of active ingredients, allowing for lower dosages and reducing environmental impact.
- Improved Penetration: Facilitates better penetration into pest cells, ensuring higher efficiency.
- Targeted Delivery: Optimizes the delivery of active ingredients to target pests, minimizing off-target effects.
Benefits for Agriculture
Terramera’s solutions are particularly beneficial for regenerative agriculture, which emphasizes restoring soil health and biodiversity. Their products help farmers transition to sustainable practices by providing tools that are both effective and environmentally friendly. This not only improves crop yields but also enhances soil carbon sequestration, contributing to climate change mitigation.
