SaferGardens STIM27 + STIM31 Trials

We are confident that we are on track to demonstrate that we’ve ‘cracked the code’ on how to control red-ring nematodes and their primary vector, the beetle, without the need for perpetual pesticide treatments. So far, our September 2024 test results appear promising. All of the candidates have exhibited robust responses, greening up quickly and producing new flowers that attract pollinators. However, our stakeholder engagement sessions with small-scale farmers tell us their primary requirement is to regenerate their damaged trees back to productive life, with many unwilling to remove their infected trees. We now realize that this creates scenarios where there can be pockets of small “sinks” where the nematodes and their vectors can safely breed. Addressing this in any solution to control nematodes and their vectors is essential. Success will be measured by the damaged palm's ability to yield a mature cluster of nuts or produce multiple healthy new leaves. We achieve this by combat...

TRIAL MISSION.  We are crystal clear: Our mission is to provide practical, cost-effective solutions specifically tailored to address the daunting challenges faced by small-scale farmers. Among these solutions, STIM27 and STIM31 represent our initial efforts to rejuvenate and protect coconut and large palm trees from damage caused by red ring nematodes or their vectors.

We developed STIM27 as a tool for coconut rehabilitation. Its primary function is to re-establish nutrient circulation within the palm via a single treatment applied to the crown, rejuvenating the palm to produce new leaves and roots, improve nut set, and increase nut size. This makes it effective for quickly restoring aged, nutrient-deficient, or infected palms to a productive state. In addition to nutrients, STIM27 releases systemic-acting extracts designed to target red-ring, nematodes, coconut beetles, and Lethal Yellowing disease, which feed on the sap of plant tissue. STIM27 Stimulant was developed using our Arrest, Suppress, and Control Design Protocol, which breaks down the treatment response into three distinct phases, each with specific products, procedures, and functions: ARREST Phase: Immediately halts damage caused by pests or pathogens in the treatment zone. SUPPRESS Phase: Actively reduces the population of pests or pathogens in the treatment area. CONTROL Phase: Main...
