Startup Stage Finalists - Makabi

Our solution to the problem of agrochemicals overuses is a smart biopolymer microcapsule with 3-in-1 technology: protection, nutrition and the time-release mechanism that releases various bioactive components at the time the plant needs them the most. Our pilot product, agro-formulations of microcapsules, was created by a green chemistry process that produces smart capsules with a 3-in-1 effect over three years of research and testing with various crops. One of the key features of our solution is the ability to grow plants indoors, where microcapsules enter the root zone in the form of small particles and release bioactive components through the process of dissolution and dialysis.
