To secure global food production, chemical pesticides play a crucial role and at the same time impose an enormous threat to health, biodiversity and the environment. Governments and industry have set strong targets and recognize that the transition can only be successful when alternatives become available. It is clear that there is an urgent need for sustainable solutions.
In a thunderstorm, lightning causes the natural transformation of water into Plasma Activated Water (PAW). By copying this natural process VitalFluid has created ‘lightning in box’: on-site PAW production provides a natural and sustainable alternative to the pesticides that are currently needed to enhance plant health. VitalFluid PAW has demonstrated to be a safe, effective and scalable solution to safeguard vegetable cultivation without negative side effects.
A wide range of scientific and commercial cultivation trials in greenhouse vegetables, ornamentals and orchards confirm the huge potential of VitalFluid PAW to play a crucial role in a sustainable food production system. The plasma systems developed by VitalFluid allow farmers to produce VitalFluid PAW on site and can be seamlessly integrated in existing greenhouse and orchard infrastructure. Multiple plasma systems are now running 24/7 in greenhouses around the globe, supporting leading growers like French-Moroccan tomato grower Azura, Europe largest organic tomato grower BioSabor in spain, leading rose grower PortaNova from the Netherlands and top US leafy greens growers.
