EDGE
It's a wide range fungicide against fungus and bacterial diseases of plants, operated by activating plant genes that increase the plant's resistance against pathogens, all the components of the fungicide are listed as GRAS, chemicals with minimal health risk and registered as food additives or for cosmetic use in humans.
Although the active ingredient is well known as a fungicide in the medical field in humans, a technology was not previously developed in which the substance is formulated as a stable emulsifying liposomal concentrate in water for agricultural applications, so Mr. Ofek Ido's development was innovative and succeeded in breaking the barrier to the use of the medical substance in the agricultural world.
An important part of the technology is increasing the bioavailability and creating affinity to the sites of action and thus, increasing the activity of the product in low concentrations that are only acceptable in synthetic pesticides that are highly toxic to humans, animals and the environment.
The main active ingredient is undecanoic acid, which is a straight-chain, eleven-carbon saturated medium-chain fatty acid found in body fluids, it is the most fungitoxic of the C7:0 - C18:0 fatty acid series, the product was tested in the lab and field and showed a remarkable efficacy.
An experiment performed in laboratory in Israel, to evaluate the effectiveness of the active ingredient, showed complete inhibition and killing of several species of pathogenic fungi and microbes to plants, even at low concentrations of active ingredient.
The fungicide is nontoxic to human, all the ingredients are registered at the EPA as G.R.A.S, it is safe to the environment and to the biome system, effective, market available raw materials and not expensive for the consumer.
Fallowing the public growing awareness of the environmental and health damage caused by chemical pesticides, the market demand for safe products is increasing, EDGE is exactly what the market needs.
In addition to this, increasing resistance against the fungicides available on the market, requires an innovative and effective fungicide- EDGE has shown incredible efficacy at low concentrations.
