After a successful 25-month banana field trial on Sigatoka Negra, as well as trials on pathogens on cacao, tomatoes, and grapes in Ecuador, urged by investors, Salveo Agro’s Founder teamed up with Texas A&M University (TAMU), one of the top 20 agricultural universities globally to conduct further trials. At TAMU, the team successfully tested the dosing and efficacy of Tectus Matrix® against FOC TR4 with In Vitro and In Vivo greenhouse bioassays on 84 live Cavendish banana plants. Tectus Matrix® is now proven as a curative and preventative against Panama Disease FOC TR4. “We are excited that our 3rd party bioassays with TAMU’s Plant Pathology Department proved that we have preventative and curative treatments for TR4,” says Tectus Matrix® inventor, Jack Bracewell, Founder of Salveo Agro. “Here we have a sustainable treatment that can stop the TR4 pandemic and save the bananas”. Let the field trials begin! Research and development continues to further explore and expand the benefits and possible applications of the Tectus Matrix® technology and formulations. We are driven by the promising results so far and the possible positive and sustainable human and environmental impact our work can have. 2022. Trials are ongoing globally on some of the most important high value crops, where Tectus Matrix® is not only being proven as a biocide but also as a bio-stimulant for healthy growth and increased yields. Targeting over 70 pathogens, Tectus Matrix® formulas are proving to be valuable broad spectrum natural products.
