Rebearth vs. other options
Current methods used in the field, to kill FAW, are more or less harmful to the farmer, the environment, crops and finances
Methods used:
- Manual removal of eggs, larva and caterpillars
- Early seeding
- Chemical pest control
- Biological pest control, introducing viruses and insects that are natural enemies of the FAW
- Introducing hybrids that are more resistant to FAW
NEW approach: Rebearth FAW
Rebearth FAW approaches the problem from a different angle. Rebearth supports and stimulates natural plant systems to combat environmental challenges on its own. We give the plant its strength back, to react in its own way, even if the fertilizer situation is poor. This way of working also strengthens the plant to be more resistant to heat, drought, cold, drowning, and many other climatic problems and pests. In many cases it increases crop yield.
Safety of Rebearth
