LIDA Plant Research advances biological IPM with root-specific formulation

In a significant stride toward sustainable agriculture, LIDA Plant Research, a biotechnology company with over 35 years of expertise in crop science, has introduced ULTIMITE BIOFORCE, a root-applied biovaccine designed for organic and regenerative farming systems. Leveraging the firm’s proprietary BIOFORCE Technology, this next-generation solution activates the plant’s natural defense mechanisms while improving soil health—marking a bold new direction in biologically integrated pest management.

Unlike conventional formulations, ULTIMITE BIOFORCE uniquely combines elicitors and beneficial microorganisms into a single product. This innovation enables a synergistic interaction within the plant, activating defense-related genes, particularly those responsible for producing volatile compounds that attract beneficial organisms and repel pests. As a result, the product becomes a strategic enabler of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and biological control programs, supporting crop vitality in a more balanced and sustainable environment.

One of the defining features of this biovaccine is its effectiveness through root application. By targeting the root zone, where absorbent root hairs are concentrated, the product is efficiently assimilated, triggering induced systemic resistance throughout the plant. This ground-up activation provides a long-lasting protective effect, as the product remains available in the soil and is gradually absorbed over time. The presence of beneficial microorganisms further enhances microbial diversity in the rhizosphere, contributing to improved soil structure, nutrient cycling, and long-term fertility.

ULTIMITE BIOFORCE has also been developed with operational scalability in mind. Its compatibility with fertigation systems allows seamless integration into existing irrigation setups, minimizing labor while maximizing precision and resource efficiency.

The launch of ULTIMITE BIOFORCE comes at a time when global agriculture is rapidly pivoting away from chemical-intensive systems toward more climate-resilient, biologically enriched approaches. With increasing regulatory scrutiny on synthetic pesticides, the need for effective, residue-free crop protection tools is urgent. LIDA Plant Research’s innovation offers a pathway forward—harnessing nature’s own biochemical defense language to reduce dependency on external chemical inputs.

As organic acreage expands across Europe, Latin America, and Asia, root-applied biologicals like ULTIMITE BIOFORCE are expected to play a pivotal role in reshaping crop protection and soil management. More than just a new product, it represents a new model for agricultural resilience—one that begins not with the leaf or the spray tank, but with the root system itself.

By tapping into the intelligence of the plant and the vitality of the soil, LIDA is positioning itself at the forefront of the green transition in agriculture. ULTIMITE BIOFORCE is more than a biovaccine; it is a living catalyst for healthier crops, stronger ecosystems, and a regenerative future.
