Nanotern
Smart Subsoil Water Reservoir
Pre Harvest Product

Eco Friendly nano cisterns for drought management & crop productivity. A biodegradable superabsorbent polymer that captures excess water and nutrients, releasing them in a controlled way, ensuring optimal soil hydration and adaptability across all climates and soil types.

50%Water Savings
25%Yield Increase
1800xWater Absorption
  • Biodegradable and heavy metal free
  • Soil friendly, non toxic
  • Patented formula

[Insease Greenhouse Film Application]
Insease
Reinventing Greenhouse Films
During Harvest Product

Insecticide releasing films as greenhouse cover materials. Our patented process involves the loading of naturally occurring nanotubes with the active ingredient which is then extruded into polymeric greenhouse films. The films slowly release the active ingredient at just the right levels to repel insects effectively without harming the crops or the environment.

60Days Protection
0%Crop Residue
  • No pesticide residue on crops
  • Safe for the environment
  • Effective against aphids, nymphs, and thrips
