Conceptual illustration of the Technique
Conceptual illustration of the technique to improve the capture of agrochemicals using light pulses. Although not depicted in the image, the laser system would be coupled with a scanning mirror that rapidly covers the plant surface in a selected pattern. The sprayer would then follow immediately after the laser treatment, applying agrochemicals to the treated area for enhanced absorption
Proof of Concept
To evaluate laser treatment efficiency in facilitating the penetration and transport of externally applied substances, a drop fluorescent glucose analog (2-NBDG) was used as a tracer.
Results after 2 hours:
Panel (a): Untreated leaf, showing no visible glucose uptake.
Panel (b): Laser-treated leaf, displaying clear fluorescence, confirming successful absorption and vascular transport.
Laser treatment enhances absorption of externally applied substances.
Significant improvement in solution penetration, reaching plant vascular tissue.
Enables more precise and targeted agrochemical application, optimizing resource use and maximizing plant absorption.
Clear visual proof: Fluorescent NBDG spreads across the leaf’s vascular system after laser treatment.
In a timelapse video spanning 10 minutes, we observed the remarkable diffusion of the fluorescent substance from the treated region.
Benefits
Why We Stand Out
In a rapidly evolving agricultural landscape, The Foliar Laser Boost sets itself apart with groundbreaking technology that merges science, sustainability, and performance — offering a solution unlike anything on the market.
"Foliar Application Transformed Agriculture"
Foliar agrochemical application revolutionized 20th-century agriculture, significantly boosting crop yields and improving food production efficiency.
"Absorption Barrier: Wax Cuticle"
However, the wax cuticle on leaves significantly reduces absorption efficiency in plants.
"Minimizing Agrochemical Waste"
As a result, over 90% of agrochemicals are wasted. This inefficiency drives up costs, pollutes soil and water, and reduces the effectiveness of agricultural inputs.
