United StatesUS based company AGPW Group has recently announced that it has entered into a research agreement with an agricultural cooperative to conduct field trials of a gram negative Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf-5 strain, developed through its patent-pending LiveGrow™ platform, against soil borne pathogens in peas and wheat. Trials commenced this September and are expected to complete late spring of 2017.
During this collaboration, AGPW is expected to display the tremendous capabilities of its platform and deliver results equal to or better than chemical standard. This collaboration came to fruition after AGPW was able to achieve excellent results in a greenhouse setting. When testing Pf-5, that was formulated through LiveGrow™ platform against Pythium, AGPW consistently delivered efficacy results that were equal to or better than chemically treated control.
"We always believed that our technology was going to deliver great results, but even we didn”t think that results would be this good. When comparing to chemical control, Pf-5 formulated through our technology consistently showed 90% or better survival rate against Pythium, while chemical control ranged in 70% to 90% range. This is a groundbreaking development that will undoubtedly disrupt the crop protection industry. I believe the 20 year timeline for biologicals to become a real industry just got significantly shorter," said AGPW Group”s president.
In the next three months, AGPW Group expects to enter into several more such agreements to test various organisms through its LiveGrow™ platform.
AGPW Group is an innovator of fermentation, manufacturing, and application of biological pesticides and stimulants.
The patent-pending LiveGrow™ platform is introduced to be able to drastically redefine and improve the following aspects:
Fermentation - Revolutionary fermentation process that grows any organism or consortia of organisms into active microbial products that are more effective, consistent, and cheaper than their dormant biological counterparts and as or more effective than their chemical competitors.
Manufacturing - An extremely cheap manufacturing model that produces active organisms without having to make them dormant for stabilization, highly flexible to demand, 100% waste free, and tremendous potential for extended shelf life.
Application - Breakthrough field application technology that delivers active microbes to the field and protects them from predation to ensure ultimate efficacy and consistency.
Through this complete platform any biological organism, both spore forming and non-spore forming, will have the ultimate opportunity to become its best self in order to effectively and consistently deliver results in the field that are expected based on its properties.
