Micropep Technologies is pioneering the use of micropeptide technology as a safe and efficient alternative to traditional crop protection. This year, their efforts have paid off, with successful efficacy results from their new biofungicide micropeptide ingredient during the 2022 field testing season. The trials showcased a great level of control against different diseases, proving the potential of this revolutionary technology to revolutionize the agricultural industry.
As the world’s population continues to rise and is projected to reach 10 billion by 2050, ensuring food security becomes ever more important. Farmers are facing increasing pressures to reduce their usage of chemicals, as well as more stringent government regulations.
To meet this challenge, a safe and sustainable solution is needed – and that solution comes in the form of biological fungicides. This rapidly growing market is expected to reach USD 4.9 Billion by 20301 and could provide the answer to establishing a secure food future.
At Micropep, we are passionate about providing farmers with cost-effective and sustainable solutions to help them face the challenges of the changing climate. Our next-generation crop protection tools are designed to give farmers the tools they need to continue to feed the world while also addressing key issues such as the emergence of resistance to current fungicides. The success we’ve seen in our field testing so far is incredibly encouraging and is a testament to the potential of our naturally-derived products to revolutionize fungal control.
Micropep’s revolutionary MPD-01 product underwent extensive testing across the Northern and Southern hemispheres, with 25 efficacy validation trials to prove its safety and efficacy. The results showed that MPD-01 achieved equal or superior performance than commercial chemical benchmarks – a true testament to the power of experimentation and innovation in farming!
MPD-01, Micropep’s novel broad-spectrum solution to protect plants from downy mildew, powdery mildew, phytophthora, and other fungi, is entering the development phase. This revolutionary approach to combatting potato blight and other diseases that can diminish yield and quality in fruits and vegetables is sure to be a game-changer in the agronomic world. With its proven success in the field, Micropep is on the cutting edge of plant protection technology.
Micropeptides are a boon to nature, boasting an astounding potency at minuscule doses compared to more traditional chemicals. Not only are they incredibly effective, but they are also compatible with regenerative agricultural practices, as they naturally degrade in soil and water, ensuring human and environmental safety.
At Micropep, we believe in the power of our cutting-edge discovery and micropeptide design platform to revolutionize the way farmers work and increase their success. Our proprietary bioproduction system selects the best micropeptide candidates based on their production yield potential, and our innovative micropeptide design platform provides farmers with a 100x improvement in cost compared to chemical synthesis, making it more affordable for them.
With our unique platform, farmers can now access multiple complementary modes of action at once and reap the rewards of their hard work.
Meeting the ever-increasing demand for accelerated agricultural productivity is no easy feat, but sustainable agricultural management can help! By using natural solutions like Micropep, farmers can not only adapt their systems to the changing climate but also protect critical habitats, safeguard watersheds, and improve soil health and water quality. It’s time to take action and help save the planet – one farm at a time!
