Challenge
Soil degradation and a host of other attendant problems due to dreadful farming practices
The agricultural ecosystem is plagued by a host of problems caused by pollution of water sources and indiscriminate use of chemical-based farming inputs (such as pesticides and herbicides). This has brought about attendant consequences such as soil degradation, the buildup of resistance in older pest species, attacks by new pests and diseases, low farm yield, increased costs of production, lowered profit margins or losses and increased poverty levels among farmers. Soils affected by these poor farming practices have been rendered unsuitable for the purpose of farming.
Miklens Bio Solution
Provision of natural soil enriching products that improve yield and profitability
Miklens Bio helps to reverse the effects of age-long ecological degradation of soil biota with its array of technologically superior products derived from microbial extracts.
Sustainable Technology to improve yield with Milkens Bio
Miklens Bio believes in the philosophy of responsible agricultural practices and thus its products are derived from microbes, which are freely available in the environment. Micro-organisms live in a world of chemical signals. Microbial bio-products represents an incredibly diverse array of chemistry. Over 25000 microbial bio-products have been reported in scientific literature, however, only 2% of these have ever been readily available to the wider research community. Most bio-products have only existed in small quantities in research laboratories and their biological activities have never been fully investigated except for some successful compounds used in the pharmaceutical industry.
By using the fermentation technology, Miklens Bio has been able to purify the right compound from microbial sources which are effective against major pest and disease. Through research, Miklens Bio has been successful in deriving nitrogen, phosphorous and potash elements through bio-engineering process that acts in supplementing the nutritional requirement of the plant which till date is available only in synthetic form for large scale consumption
