Fungicide free seed coating
The current way to protect seeds is to coat them with fungicides. Our solution employs diverse microorganisms that outcompete the pathogens. The targeted nutrition supports growth.

Research and Development of sustainable solutions in agriculture
Expertise
My work focuses on advancing sustainable solutions in agriculture by harnessing the power of microbiology. Specifically, I address soil health, crop yield, drought resistance, and pest and disease management through innovative, farm-based practices. Unlike conventional agricultural research that often stops at lab results or theoretical models, my work is unique in that it involves developing on-farm products that require years of refinement to achieve practical effectiveness.
At the core of my approach is the understanding that the microbiome plays a crucial role in agricultural sustainability. By nurturing and optimizing microbial communities, I help farmers reduce their reliance on synthetic inputs while improving soil structure, nutrient availability, and plant resilience.
My research and development efforts directly benefit small to large-scale farmers, equipping them with affordable, effective tools to sustainably boost productivity. These solutions empower farmers to manage their resources responsibly and support their long-term profitability.
Some of my most successful projects involved a series of pasture trials. These trials demonstrated the impressive potential of a diverse microbial inoculant in enhancing pasture nutrition, increasing yield, and improving drought tolerance. Seeing these benefits firsthand has been a testament to the power of biological solutions.
The biggest challenge I see in making agriculture truly sustainable is creating economically viable alternatives to conventional synthetic inputs—alternatives that can match or exceed their performance while being environmentally friendly. My work tackles this challenge by refining ways to repurpose nutrition-carrying waste streams into affordable, high-performing microbial formulations.
Through this continuous cycle of research, development, and practical application, I’m committed to helping farmers build resilient, regenerative systems that care for the land and ensure long-term food security.
