What we have proved so far

Banavrit turns banana crop waste into Trichoderma-based biological crop protection. Every claim on this page is dated, numbered and traceable to a third party — a laboratory, a patent office, a registry or an awarding body.

The pitch deck carries the commercial detail. Request it below and we will send it over.

Independently verified science

A biological input is a population of living fungi, so the two numbers that decide whether it works are which organism it is and how much of it is still alive. Our strains are deposited with GenBank and carry public accession numbers, so anyone can verify the identity of what we sell. The colony counts are measured by an NABL-certified laboratory and carry report numbers, so the viability figure is a third-party result rather than a claim we make about ourselves.
