The Foliar Laser Boost
At Onteko, we employ a cutting-edge technique that harnesses short laser pulses to gently and effectively eliminate the wax cuticle on plant leaves, thereby facilitating the near-total absorption of applied substances. Our innovative approach seamlessly integrates a precision-controlled robotic arm, housing both the laser system and substance applicator, to ensure meticulous and accurate dosing. This guarantees that your plants receive precisely calibrated nutrients, eliminating any potential harm. With Onteko's state-of-the-art laser technology, you can optimize the efficiency of substance applications, leading to enhanced plant health and increased productivity. Make the most of your agricultural investments with our advanced solutions.
Conceptual illustration of the technique to improve the capture of agrochemicals using light pulses. Although not depicted in the image, the laser system would be coupled with a scanning mirror that rapidly covers the plant surface in a selected pattern. The sprayer would then follow immediately after the laser treatment, applying agrochemicals to the treated area for enhanced absorption
CASE STUDIES
Enhancing Nutrient Uptake in Citrus Lea
Citrus leaves are naturally protected by a wax cuticle, which can hinder the spread of beneficial substances. Recognizing the potential of this technique for other molecules, we set out to demonstrate its effectiveness. Using precise laser treatment, we selectively removed the wax barrier from specific leaf areas, creating an optimal absorption zone. Applying a fluorescent glucose analog to these treated spots showcased our innovation. In a timelapse video spanning 10 minutes, we observed the remarkable diffusion of the fluorescent substance from the treated region. This striking demonstration illustrates our approach's capacity to enhance substance absorption in citrus leaves.
