RECENT RESEARCH WORKS:

Development of Superheated Soil Sterilization System (5S) Integrated with Biological Control

Utilizing most advanced superheating technology, conventional soil culture can be converted to Organic Cultivation without use of any chemicals. This process will kill pathogens, weed seeds, soil born pests and eliminated the needs of GMO seeds while improving soil structure. Furthermore, inedible biomass from the crops after harvest is used as the fuel to operate 5S and remaining inedible biomass on the ground surface will be ignited and carbonized and mixed into the soil. (Carbon Fixation) This will earn carbon credit. This system eliminates the needs for Roundup/GM seed and replaces the needs for Methyl Bromides in an economical fashion- perfect for organic growing. .Increases yields and great solution for the prevention of global warming

Organic Agrochemical

Organic chemical compounds were developed that can be applied to seed and growing crops (OMRI registration required) Target pathogen-E coli, Salmonella, Sclerotinia

Automated Baby Leaf Production System

Production of baby leaf requires precise controls at all the production stages and it is hard to control in the field. The system will start, manage and harvest automatically using proprietary seed mat and grown under controlled environment 13 crops/yr. Presently I am seeking investor for this project. Paten table and has potentials for the global market.
