Did you know?

The excessive use of agrochemicals has had a significant environmental impact, affecting biodiversity, soil quality, and water resources. Globally, more than 4 million tons of synthetic pesticides are applied every year, many of which leave harmful residues on crops and contribute to environmental pollution.

In Chile, the situation is no different. Agricultural production heavily relies on chemical compounds for pest and disease control, with an intensive use of copper and other synthetic pesticides. While effective, these chemicals can lead to pathogen resistance and negatively impact soil health and the ecosystem

Why Do We Talk About Biopesticides at Relier?

Because we believe in sustainable agriculture, where innovation and biotechnology are the keys to replacing harmful chemicals with natural and effective solutions.

At Relier, we develop natural biopesticides from agricultural waste, designed to combat diseases in key crops like cherry and walnut trees. Our solutions reduce dependency on synthetic pesticides while promoting ecosystem regeneration in agricultural fields.

Our mission is clear: leveraging biotechnology and circular economy principles to provide sustainable solutions that protect crops without compromising the planet’s health.

Why no plastic?

The widespread use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers has grown exponentially in recent decades, negatively affecting agricultural ecosystems. A large portion of these chemicals end up in the soil and water, disrupting biodiversity, reducing soil fertility, and contributing to environmental degradation.

Excessive agrochemical use not only leads to pest and disease resistance but also contaminates crops and natural ecosystems, lowering food quality and endangering human health. Additionally, their production and application contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, worsening climate change and water scarcity.

We believe it is urgent and necessary to change the way we protect and nourish our crops.

At Relier, we develop natural biopesticides that replace synthetic chemicals, reducing environmental impact and promoting regenerative agriculture. Additionally, our bio-stimulants, derived from agricultural waste, enhance soil health and improve crop resilience, closing the nutrient cycle in a sustainable way.

Natural Biopesticide

Biopesticide for Cherry Trees – Combating Pseudomonas syringae

Cherry trees are highly vulnerable to the Pseudomonas syringae bacterium, a pathogen that causes necrosis in leaves and fruits, significantly reducing crop quality and yield.

Our natural biopesticide harnesses the power of polyphenols extracted from vineyard residues, offering proven antimicrobial activity against this bacterium.

🌿 Benefits:
✅ Naturally controls the disease without relying on synthetic compounds like copper.
✅ Reduces environmental impact, preventing heavy metal accumulation in the soil.
✅ Improves crop sustainability, preserving fruit quality and maintaining a healthier ecosystem.

Natural Biopesticide

Biopesticide for Walnut Trees – Protecting Against Xanthomonas campestris

Walnut trees suffer significant losses due to the Xanthomonas campestris bacterium, which causes black spots on leaves and fruits, affecting production and nut commercialization.

Our biopesticide, developed from agricultural residues, effectively combats this bacterium through the antimicrobial properties of polyphenols present in its formulation.

🌿 Benefits:
✅ Reduces disease occurrence without the need for synthetic chemicals.
✅ Protects agricultural ecosystems, preventing soil and water contamination.
✅ A sustainable alternative to traditional pesticides, minimizing toxic residues in walnut production.

Biostimulant

Biostimulant for Crops – Promoting Healthy Soils

Rather than indiscriminately eliminating microorganisms, our natural biostimulant fosters ecological balance in the soil, strengthening crops without disrupting beneficial fungi and bacteria.

This biostimulant utilizes agricultural residues to enhance soil fertility and create a healthier ecosystem, increasing crop resilience against diseases and environmental stress.

🌱 Benefits of the Biostimulant:
✅ Enhances soil health, increasing microbial biodiversity.
✅ Strengthens crops, boosting their resistance to diseases without the need for pesticides.
✅ A regenerative and sustainable alternative, supporting an agricultural system that respects natural ecosystem cycles.
