   • It causes a higher germination rate, healthier seedlings, early harvest and faster growth especially in cold areas.
2. Increases yield by 20% to 50% more.
3. Improves human health by reducing consumption of insecticides in vegetables.
4. Pest management and control especially caterpillars, fruit flies, leaf miners and bean fly with 50% – 90% less pesticide use.
5. Ecological & social benefit by reducing environmental pollution from insecticides:
