Precision agriculture starts at the surface
Improving leaf wettability, seed treatment and agricultural film functionalisation for higher yields with fewer chemical inputs.
The surface challenge
Modern agriculture faces a double challenge: improving yields while reducing the use of chemicals. Much of the loss happens at the surface of leaves, seeds and agricultural films, where inputs need to adhere, penetrate and act.
A waxy leaf repels sprays and much of the crop protection product runs off into the soil. A seed with a hydrophobic coat germinates slowly and unevenly. A mulch film that blocks moisture movement limits root growth.
Atmospheric pressure plasma changes the surface chemistry of plant and synthetic materials, with no solvent and no chemical residue. It can activate a leaf, boost seed germination or functionalise a film — dry, in line and at scale.
What plasma changes
Improved wettability
Raise the surface energy of leaves and other plant tissues so that sprays, biostimulants and fungicides adhere instead of running off.
Seed treatment
Boost germination rate and uniformity, reduce surface pathogens and improve early seedling vigour, without chemical pesticides.
Agricultural film functionalisation
Tune the permeability, anti-fog behaviour and adhesion of mulch films, greenhouse films and food packaging for fresh produce.
Fewer chemical inputs
Better adhesion of applied solutions and a stronger crop start let you cut input volumes, and with them cost and environmental impact.
