THE FOLIAR
LASER BOOST

Laser Precision for a Greener Future

Meet the
Foliar Laser Boost

Agrochemicals transformed agriculture in the 20th century, but their delivery methods—whether foliar or soil-based—remain highly inefficient.

 

Pesticides have a capture efficiency of under 5%, while fertilizers reach a maximum efficiency of only 50%.

Why Choose The Foliar Laser Boost

Enhanced Plant Growth & Yield
Improved Nutrient Absorption
Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Solution

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.
