THE FOLIAR
LASER BOOST
Laser Precision for a Greener Future
The Problem We Solve
-
Foliar agrochemical application revolutionized 20th-century agriculture, significantly boosting crop yields and improving food production efficiency.
-
However, the wax cuticle on leaves significantly reduces absorption efficiency in plants.
-
This penetration bottleneck is most critical for high-value actives (e.g., micronutrients, systemic protectants, and biologics), so growers often compensate by applying excess product to achieve the desired effect.
-
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.
Why Choose The Foliar Laser Boost
Enhanced Plant Growth & Yield
Improved Nutrient Absorption
Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Solution
Our Solution
The laser selectively removes the leaf cuticle, creating microscopic openings without damaging underlying tissue.
The cuticle becomes temporarily more permeable while the epidermis remains intact, avoiding mechanical injury.
A conventional foliar spray is applied immediately after laser treatment.
Active ingredients penetrate more efficiently into the leaf, enabling improved internal transport and reduced surface runoff
Technology Demonstration
To visually demonstrate how laser treatment improves foliar penetration and transport, we applied a fluorescent glucose analog (2-NBDG) as a tracer.
Observed after ~2 hours:
-
Untreated leaf: no visible tracer uptake.
-
Laser-treated leaf: clear fluorescence, indicating rapid penetration and movement through the leaf’s vascular tissue.
This demonstration shows the mechanism in action: laser treatment enables more effective entry of externally applied substances—supporting more targeted, efficient foliar delivery.
Timelapse video (10 minutes): fluorescence spreads from the treated region across the leaf.
In a timelapse video spanning 10 minutes, we observed the remarkable diffusion of the fluorescent substance from the treated region.
