Crop Microclimate Management researches and develops technologies for managing environmental stresses in crops to increase the productivity of agricultural operations.
The first patented G3 technology for reducing abiotic stress factors in plants, PHOTON®, was introduced to the market in 2011.
With the development of this product, Charles Kupatt has achieved a quantum leap. Compared to previously known preparations, he was able to significantly reduce the application rate and ensure high compatibility with plant protection products.
