Greenhouse pest management
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. INSEASE is the perfect alternative to traditional insecticides with its sustained-release formula, proven to keep pests at bay. Get INSEASE for your next crop today!
ANT Systems
ANT Systems integrates the active ingredient into the greenhouse covering itself.
The active ingredient is loaded into naturally occurring nanotubes.
The loaded nanotubes are incorporated into a polymer film.
The film releases the ingredient gradually to support insect management.

Pesticides are currently irreplaceable components of industrial agriculture despite their toxic hazards. Only 0.1% of the pesticides applied in an agricultural area reach the target, while the excess amount results in loss of biodiversity and decrease in invaluable species, water and soil pollution, development of pesticide resistance in plants, and numerous other public health risks.
Pesticide applications to crops result in varying levels of residues remaining in, or on, our food. Since residues can be contained within the entire piece of produce rather than just on the surface, peeling or washing fruit and vegetables before eating is often not enough to prevent exposure to pesticides.
Pesticides cause biodiversity loss in soil. They seep into soil and reach to groundwater, nearby streams and rivers. Pesticides applied by spraying are carried on the wind, into non-agricultural areas.
Pesticide storage poses several public health and environmental problems including formation of persistent organic pollutants, deterioration to toxic products, and leaking from open or damaged containers.
Published research examines the release profile, film properties and insect response.
The nanotube composite maintained mechanical performance and increased the elastic modulus of the LLDPE film.
Tests on alfalfa reported repelling adult aphids and activity against young aphids and thrips.
