The technology has wide adaptability for targeting various fungal pathogens both in the field and post-harvest, with simple application methods and slow-release mechanisms. It aims to significantly reduce crop losses caused by fungal diseases, which account for about 85% of plant diseases and result in 30-45% production losses globally, equating to approximately $940 billion in financial losses annually. The product also addresses the shortcomings of conventional fungicides, including environmental harm and pathogen resistance.
