Research and Development
The company has established most modern R & D Centre of 10,000 sq. feet at their factory premises. The company is active in research and development with a massive objective of LAB-TO-LAND. The research and new findings established by the state agricultural universities and other institutes have been scaled up and commercialized as pest control agents. The company is also active in the research of key aspects of formulation and appropriate product delivery system that has direct bearing with the substantiation of laboratory findings to the large-scale field applications especially of the products like entomopathogens, fungal antagonists, nitrogen fixers, phosphate solubilizes and biotic stress defending organisms. The company has developed / indigenized six technologies through R&D center independently and/or some of the technical collaborations with various research organizations.
Some of our technology developed through in-house R&D received recognition and awards at national level.

​
These are some of the advantages it offers :
​
-
There is no need to spray toxic chemical pesticides.
-
Use only five NoMate LifeTime Traps per acre area and safeguard the crop from fruit flies for 3-4 months.

It is one of the best systems for the management of fruit fly occurring in fruit crops and cucurbit crops.
-
Environment friendly, cost effective and labour-saving system.
-
Trap is made up of PET material which is sturdy and heat resistant and it has fluorescent colour to attract males & females. It is a parapheromone system that attracts males by luring them for the development of genital organs.
-
Blocks are of softwood and impregnated with two different chemicals.
(1) Methyl Eugenol Block (Extract of clove oil or black Tulsi).
(2) Cuelure Blocks (Extract of Berry).
-
Stabilizing agents are also impregnated along with the attractants so as to increase the field life of the blocks.
-
Shelf life of blocks is 1 year under ambient storage condition and field life is 3 - 4 months, i.e. as long as the fruiting season lasts.
-
Environment friendly application. No direct human and crop produces contacts with the system. No fear of getting contaminated with toxic chemicals.
-
No equipment is required for application. It is user-friendly.

Pheromone Impregnation Technology
NoMate pheromone system gives excellent control by depriving females from mating. NoMate Pheromones are semiochemicals emitted by living organisms to send messages to individuals of the same species.
Pheromones are the natural compounds that are created inside the body of an insect. The pheromones are chemically synthesized in the laboratory as required for different species of insects. These lures used to attract male insects into pheromone traps, thus stopping the mating of male and female insects. This system eliminates the chance of laying eggs and controls the insect population. System is a very much safer, environment friendly solution that benefits the people, planet and profits.
Use of Technology:
​
-
NoMate pheromone lures are available in handy blister packings that facilitate the use of lures in odd numbers and require less storage.
-
NoMate Pheromone Traps are easy to install and simple to service, withstands exposure to extreme sunlight, Innovative water-proof design, protects lure from rain and does not require constant monitoring and servicing.
-
Pheromone based slow release mating disruption formulations impregnated in specific rubber septa.
-
Specificity to a pest-no off target effects.
-
Pest life cycle is disrupted prior to egg laying hence, no issue of pest developing resistance.
-

Microencapsulation Technology
Microencapsulation is a process in which tiny particles or droplets are surrounded by a coating to give small capsules, of many useful properties. In general, it is used to incorporate biofertilizers bacterial cells on a micro metric scale. Microencapsulation can also be used to enclose solids and liquids inside a micrometric wall made of hard or soft soluble film, in order to reduce dosing frequency and prevent the degradation of formulations.
​
In a relatively simple form, a microcapsule is a small sphere with a uniform wall around it. The material inside the microcapsule is referred to as the core, internal phase, or fill, whereas the wall is sometimes called a shell, coating, or membrane. Some materials like lipids and polymers, such as alginate, may be used as a mixture to trap the material of interest inside. Most microcapsules have pores with diameters between a few micrometres and a few millimetres.
The reasons for microencapsulation are countless. It is mainly used to increase the stability and life of the product being encapsulated, facilitate the manipulation of the product and control its liberation in an adequate time and space. In other cases, the objective is not to isolate the core completely but to control the rate at which it leaves the microcapsule, as in the controlled release of biofertilizers.
Microbes for Waste Decomposting
Our agriculture farm waste is made up of cellulose and lignin. Breakdown of cellulose and lignin, we need powerful decomposting microbes who can break down lignin and cellulose. DEBRISTA is a consortium of cellulose and lignin degrading microbes for composting farm wastes, green kitchen wastes, gardens and city wastes.
Application:
​
-
Use 250 gm of DEBRISTA for composting 1 ton of any waste. Make a slurry of Debrista & water and mix thoroughly with wastes. If the waste is too wet, use powder directly onto the wastes. Make heaps of treated wastes at a height of about 2 meter. Keep turning the heaps at an interval of 15 days to trigger aerobic composting faster. Maintain moisture level of 40% throughout composting. When compost gets cooled and soft it is an indication of compositing being over. It requires 250 gm of debrista powder for one ton or one acre debris. For spray application use 1 gm in 1 lit water. For soil application mix 250 gm with 50 kg soil or sand or organic manure and apply it in one acre area.
-
The technology is developed with technical collaboration with two premier institutes of BARC (Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai) and IARI (Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi).
