BIO10-BLANCA - Innovative High-Mineral and Botanical Extract Solution for Organic Plant Disease Protection
General Description
The Bio10-Blanca project addresses the growing need for sustainable plant disease management solutions. Traditional chemical treatments can harm soil health and ecosystems, highlighting the need for organic alternatives. Bio10-Blanca is an advanced organic formulation that combines sea-minerals and botanical extracts to create a high pH environment on plant surfaces. This elevated pH acts as a natural barrier, effectively deterring bacterial and fungal pathogens from settling. By providing a non-toxic and eco-friendly solution, Bio10-Blanca aims to enhance plant health and support sustainable agricultural practices.
Research History:
Phase 1: Concept Development
- Year: 2020
- Description: The project began with the exploration of concentrated sea-mineral extracts and plant response, identifying beneficial effects. Initial studies focused on how these properties enhance plant health and resistance to diseases.
Phase 2: Formulation Testing
- Year: 2021
- Description: Extensive testing was conducted to optimise the mineral and extract blend. Various formulations were evaluated for their effectiveness in creating a high pH environment and their impact on different plant types.
Phase 3: Prototype Development
- Year: 2021 - 2022
- Description: A prototype of Bio10-Blanca was developed and tested in controlled environments. The prototype was assessed for its ability to prevent disease settlement and its compatibility with different plant species.
Phase 4: Field Trials
- Year: 2022 - Current
- Description: Field trials were carried out to evaluate the product’s performance in real agricultural settings. Results were analysed to refine the formulation and application methods.
Phase 5: Commercialisation
- Year: 2023 - Current
- Description: Following successful trials, Bio10-Blanca is being prepared for commercial launch. Ongoing refinement ensures that the product meets market needs and maintains high efficacy.
Current Update
As of mid-2024, Bio10-blanca has made considerable progress in its development and application:
- Formulation Development: The Bio10-Blanca formulation, which combines concentrated sea-minerals with botanical extracts, has been successfully finalised. This advanced blend creates a high-mineral, high-pH environment on plant surfaces, effectively disrupting the growth and germination of fungal spores and inhibiting the settlement of bacterial pathogens. The solution modifies the pH and nutrient conditions to make the plant surface less conducive to pathogen development. Rigorous testing has been conducted to ensure the formulation’s effectiveness in providing robust disease protection.
- Initial Trials: Preliminary trials have been conducted to assess the performance of Bio10-Blanca in real-world conditions. These trials have demonstrated that the product effectively raises the pH of plant surfaces, creating an inhospitable environment for disease-causing microorganisms. Feedback from these trials has been positive, highlighting the formulation's potential to enhance plant health and resilience.
- Product Refinement: Based on initial trial results, the formulation is being refined to improve its stability and performance. Adjustments are being made to optimise the product's effectiveness and ensure consistent results across different plant species and growing conditions.
What's Next
Looking ahead, we are focusing on several key areas to further enhance Bio10-Blanca and to expand its impact:
- Extended Field Trials:We plan to conduct additional field trials across a broader range of agricultural settings to validate the product's performance under different conditions and with various crop types. These trials will help to further refine the product and confirm its benefits.
- Product Line Development: We are developing complementary products to address specific needs and application methods. This could include formulations for specialised crops or different growth stages.
- Ongoing R&D: Continuous research will focus on enhancing the formulation and exploring new scientific advancements to improve the product further. We are committed to incorporating user feedback and staying at the forefront of sustainable agriculture technology.
