Vive Crop Protection and A&L Biologicals collaborate on Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) Project

Sep 09, 2020

TORONTO, ONTARIO and LONDON, ONTARIO -- Vive Crop Protection and A&L Biologicals Inc., a subsidiary of A&L Canada Laboratories Inc., are harnessing the power of their combined technologies in an SDTC Project "Targeted Delivery of Biopesticides." Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) is an independent federal foundation which helps Canadian companies develop and deploy competitive, clean technology solutions to help solve some of the world's most pressing environmental challenges: climate change, clean air, clean water and clean soil.

Vive and A&L are working to develop effective new biopesticide products using Vive's patented Allosperse nanotechnology delivery system and A&L's novel microbial based bio-pesticide technologies. The new targeted biopesticide products will provide farmers with higher yield potential using sustainable technologies that can be easily integrated into existing crop management practices. The project includes greenhouse and field trial testing, through to commercialization.

The global biopesticide market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 14.7% from an estimated value of USD 4.3 billion in 2020 reaching USD 8.5 billion by 2025. Vive and A&L's technologies address these global trends and support development of this emerging market.

Video: What Is Remote Sensing In Precision Agriculture? - The World of Agriculture

What Is Remote Sensing In Precision Agriculture? In this informative video, we will dive into the fascinating world of remote sensing and its role in precision agriculture. Remote sensing technology allows farmers to gather critical information about their fields without the need for physical presence. By utilizing satellites, drones, and aircraft equipped with advanced sensors, farmers can monitor various aspects of their crops, from temperature and moisture levels to overall plant health.

We will explore how the data collected through remote sensing can empower farmers to make strategic decisions for their crops. With the ability to identify specific areas that require more water or nutrients, farmers can optimize resource usage, leading to healthier plants and improved yields.

Moreover, remote sensing plays a vital role in tracking crop growth over time. By comparing images taken at different growth stages, farmers can evaluate their crops’ development and adjust their management practices accordingly.
