This “back to the future” green biotech approach offers
the horticultural sector an opportunity to experience
more harmonious commercial production
in the already threatened environments
in which we live. While the
introduction of new products into sectors within the
horticultural sector is a time-consuming and expensive
process, Biogold believes it to be
worthwhile and necessary.
Products in this portfolio can be divided into three
broad categories:
Those that improve plant health by utilising preemptive,
often symbiotic, biological agents, those that use
existing, natural occurring fungi, bacteria, viruses
and insects to suppress or control diseases, harmful
insects and other antagonistic agents and finally, the
use of existing, natural occurring biological agents to
suppress or control post harvest problems and improve
product shelf life. Biogold stands at the forefront of
these innovations, offering research-based organisations
a global platform on which to commercialise their
products. Currently, a number of Biogold endorsed
products (for both pre- and post-harvest) are in various
stages of development or commercial application in
various countries throughout the world. |
