In a groundbreaking development, BIOR Biotech has unveiled a new technology that promises to transform farming and reduce reliance on synthetic fertilizers by 25-75%. After extensive research and testing spanning over seven years, the company has introduced the ‘BIOR’ system, a bio-reactor designed to improve soil health and sustainability on farms across the globe.
The BIOR technology focuses on the cultivation of soil microorganisms vital for nutrient absorption and plant growth. By enabling on-site production of biofertilizer, this innovation significantly cuts down operational costs for farmers. The system is fully automated and leverages artificial intelligence to manage preparation, cultivation, and quality inspections of the biofertilizer. It efficiently monitors over 15 essential process parameters to ensure optimal functioning.
Key benefits of the BIOR system include:
- Up to a 75% reduction in nitrogen fertilizer costs and usage.
- Near-zero CO2 emissions.
- A rapid return on investment, achievable within a year for some farms.
- Enhanced crop growth and resilience against diseases, drought, and stress.
- Substantial savings in operational costs and energy consumption.
BIOR Biotech’s autonomous microscopy system ensures high-quality output by performing both qualitative and quantitative assessments. With around 650 million farms worldwide, the company estimates that for about 13 million of these, the technology will pay for itself within two years.
Scheduled for commercial release at the end of 2024, BIOR Biotech plans to roll out at least 1,000 units by 2025. This technology stands to not only benefit individual farmers but also to make a significant positive impact on global agricultural practices by making essential nutrients more accessible to plants naturally.
