MONAS technology has been developing  microorganism products and introducing them into the agricultural production since 2008. At MONAS technology our mission is to search for novel technological approaches and preparations that will improve the crop yields, in the long term, while contributing to the crop protection against diseases. We focus on developing original preparations based on beneficial soil bacteria that act as fungal pathogen antagonists while positively affecting the physical properties of the soil and contributing to the soil-nutrient cycle.

Now we are working on 2 very promising  new bio-products against 1. pathogenic bacteria in plants and 2. improvment of plant health by leaf treatment against pathogenic fungi.

The simultaneous complex activity against plant pathogens  while improving soil nutrients accessibility, degradation of pesticides, and uptake by the cultivated plants belongs among the main advantages of our microbial preparations.

We manufacture our products in the Czech Republic and sell them to our customers directly, or in collaboration with several distributors.

We use our unique expertise in fermentation and other processes to deliver sustainable solutions for the preservation of food and food production, health, and our planet.

PURASOLV® green solvents are a range of lactate esters that provide superior solvency, allowing for more efficient, high-performing agrochemical formulations. These solvents help agrochemical manufacturers create crop protection formulations with high active load, including emulsion concentrates (EC), dispersible concentrates (DC) and oil dispersions (OD). The PURASOLV range enables the development of more complete products combining multiple actives, or the reformulation of existing products to deliver greater benefits.

PURASOLV lactate esters give formulators a biobased alternative to conventional solvents that is safe for plants, people and the environment, without compromising performance. Having a safe, non-toxic solvent that is in alignment with the direction of regulatory change allows formulators to expand their toolkit while reducing the risk of early product withdrawal from the market.

Put your pests under pressure!

CARVEX is a company in the CARBO Group and develops the latest, ecological process technologies for the foodstuffs and pharmaceutical industries. Apart from this development work, CARVEX is also renowned for constructing highly modern systems.

An example process is CARVEX’s pressurised disinfestation. This application frees dry, natural substances (such as grains, herbal teas, medicines, seeds, baking powders, soup mixtures, animal feed, cereals, nuts or spices) from pests (such as beetles, larvae, eggs, mites or worms) without leaving residues, in a gentle manner, using natural source CARBO carbon dioxide and pressure.

A revolution compared to conventional options using insecticides or poisonous gases, which pose serious harm to human health and to the environment!

The benefits of the CARVEX pressurised disinfestation process at a glance:

• natural
• environmentally-friendly
• non-toxic
• efficient
• no residues / gentle on the product
• high occupational safety
• officially verified

CARVEX pressurised disinfestation prevents financial losses and damage to your image. These can arise if pests rapidly multiply during the storage and transport of foodstuffs and even reach your end customers.

The CARVEX process technology does not just cover the standard, tried-and-tested process, but is rather particularly involved in the development of forward-looking, sustainable technologies that are friendly to the environment.

The CARVEX process using CARBO carbon dioxide is officially approved!

Phenospex is a sensor company based in the Netherlands. We develop unique 3D-multispectral laser scanners, specifically designed to assess crops. Our products provides many plant parameters like plant growth, biomass, plant health in real time and automate many processes in plant science, breeding and agriculture where precise information on plants is required. Our sensors are also used in smart farming/ farming automation robots as the “eye” that detects and analyzes the plants.

At Phenospex we build smart sensors and software to analyze plants in any environment. With these high precision tools we automate entire phenotyping processes for plant science, breeding and agriculture.

PlantEye, our spectral & 3D sensor, is used for applications like chemical screenings, disease quantification and germination assays. But also is integrated in farming robots as the eye that screens the plants.

PlantEye scans plants in 3D with spectral information and provides many plant parameters like plant growth, biomass, plant health (NDVI) in real time. It works in lab, greenhouse and field conditions, even in direct sunlight.

We measures the effects of biospeticides on plants as soon as they occur. Optimize your plant measurements, improve the R&D process and generate data for marketing.

At the event we strive not only to bring you to the same location at the same time as your customers/suppliers/peers, we strive to ensure you meet face-to-face with each and every one of your target contacts and to provide you with the time you need to have multiple unhurried conversations with them and build a lasting business relationship:

• A pre-event informal introduction the evening before the conference
• A minimum of five hours’ networking built into the two day conference agenda
• A networking grid which enables you to make your target contacts aware you are looking for them
• The option to join either social drinks or dinner during the evening of Day One
• ACI’s on-site team will assist you in locating your hard-to-find target contacts & make face-to-face introductions

Of course, if there is anybody you are unable to meet over the two days, ACI’s event team will do their best to initiate contact after the event.

ACI is doing everything to ensure that all its events go ahead as advertised, returning to the much-missed and valuable face-to-face interaction as soon as possible.  In order to ensure the events are delivered as safely as possible, venues are chosen and procedures are adjusted in line with the relevant local and regulations and guidelines.

These have been exceptionally challenging times with very fast-moving updates. As we get closer to an event we look at each one individually, paying careful heed to local regulations, but without ignoring the international situation. Whatever happens, ACI will safeguard the investments that attendees have made by either automatically moving it to the new dates of the event or a full credit will be provided for use when booking a future ACI event.
