It is compatible with various products, such as herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, plant growth regulators, and micronutrients.

UK based Bionema Group Ltd., a leading biocontrol technology developer that provides biological solutions for crop protection and plant health management announced the launch of Permeate® SP 50. This cutting-edge polyether trisiloxane significantly enhances crop protection and fertilisation through superior spreading, wetting, and uptake capabilities.

Permeate® SP 50 is designed to dramatically reduce surface tension in aqueous solutions, thereby improving the performance of crop protection products. This advanced formulation offers several key benefits:

Allows a more significant amount of active ingredient to enter the plant.

Provides rain fastness, eliminating the need for a second treatment after one hour since rain.

Ensures higher selectivity to crop species.

Reduces spray volumes by up to 30%.

It is compatible with various products, such as herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, plant growth regulators, and micronutrients.

Solutions can be sprayed even under hot and dry conditions when weed species are mature and hardened, or plants are covered with dust.

Permeate® SP 50 is highly versatile. It is soluble in various solvents, including water, butanol, NMP, cyclohexanone, rapeseed methyl ester, sunflower oil, and Solvesso 150. This makes it ideal for tank mix applications and formulations.

Microbial Compatibility: Permeate® SP 50 is biocompatible with microbial control agents such as Trichoderma spp., Beauveria bassiana, and Bacillus spp. It is an excellent carrier liquid for microbial formulations, offering superior shelf-life results by managing water activity, a critical factor for microbial stability.

Dr. Minshad Ansari, CEO and Founder of Bionema Group, stated, “Permeate® SP 50 guarantees rapid, even, and superior wetting of hydrophobic surfaces, including leaves and other plant parts. This unique formulation enhances solution uptake by penetrating cuticular waxes and entering stomatal pores, ensuring direct access to the plant’s intercellular structure. Additionally, silicone surfactants like Permeate® SP 50 can facilitate the passage of pesticides or biopesticides through the cuticle without causing any damage.”

Regulatory Compliance and Certifications: Permeate® SP 50 is listed in several chemical inventories, including EINECS, TSCA, DSL, AICS, ECL, ENCS, IECSC (China), and PICCS. It is also exempt from a tolerance per 40 CFR 180.910 requirement when used as an inert ingredient in pesticide formulations applied to growing crops or raw agricultural commodities after harvest. Furthermore, it is listed by the OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute), ensuring its suitability for organic farming practices.

 The partnership will significantly foster agricultural biological innovation worldwide by connecting top-tier biocontrol industries and their technology scouting for rapid commercialisation.

The World BioProtection Forum (WBF) and the Indian Chamber of Food and Agriculture (ICFA) are delighted to announce the signing of a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that sets the stage for a dynamic partnership aimed at promoting sustainable agriculture and biocontrol products and technologies. The MoU, signed in Swansea, Wales, marks the beginning of a collaborative effort that leverages the strengths and expertise of both organisations to foster innovation and growth in the agricultural sector.

Key elements of the partnership include:

Innovation and R&D: Access to collaborative research and international trials enables both organisations to stay at the forefront of Agricultural biological innovations, ensuring their offerings are cutting-edge and highly marketable.

Regulatory Advocacy: Collaborative efforts to advocate for favourable policy reforms can significantly reduce market entry barriers, fostering a conducive environment for products and services.

Global Scouting and Collaboration: ICFA, through its group organisations, will work with WBF to scout for bio-input products, technologies, and companies worldwide for potential mergers, acquisitions, collaborations, or licensing agreements.

Strategic Alliances: By engaging with industry leaders and innovators within WBF and ICFA, organisations can forge partnerships that accelerate product development and market penetration, driving profitability.

Market Expansion: The WBF and ICFA global network offers unparalleled opportunities for market intelligence and entry into untapped regions, enhancing competitive edge.

Training and Conferences: The parties will jointly organise training programs, meetings, symposia, conferences, and regulatory campaigns related to their mutual interests.

Event Hosting: ICFA or its group organisations, such as Agriculture Today Group (ATG) and International Agriculture Consulting FZ-LLC, Dubai (IACG), will host the Annual World BioProtection Summit and Awards (AWBSA). These events will be organised globally by ICFA and WBF.

Dr. Minshad Ansari, Chairman and Founder of WBF, said, “This new global alliance between WBF and ICFA will significantly foster agricultural biological innovation worldwide by connecting top-tier biocontrol industries and their technology scouting for rapid commercialisation. This initiative is uniquely positioned to accelerate the global agbio market.

Dr M J Khan, Chairman of ICFA, said, “This partnership with a global biocontrol association, WBF, brings a tremendous opportunity to advance sustainable agriculture practices in India and globally. By combining our resources and expertise, we can drive significant progress in biocontrol technologies, benefiting farmers and the environment alike.”

This partnership represents a significant step forward in the global effort to enhance sustainable agricultural practices and biocontrol technologies. WBF and ICFA are excited about the opportunities this collaboration will bring and look forward to achieving significant milestones together.
