the natural defences of plants using UV flashes
Having discovered that UV-C flashes increase plant resistance to a variety of pathogens, Laurent Urban and Jawad Aarrouf, researchers at Avignon University, filed an initial patent in 2015. In collaboration with Avignon University and SATT Sud-Est, they teamed up with Yves Matton, co-founder of Technofounders, to create UV Boosting in 2016.
This innovative technology works by stimulating the natural defences of the plant thanks to UV-C flashes, triggering a response mechanism even before the pathogen appears. The plant thus becomes more resistant and the damage caused by the pathogen is limited. Our equipment offers a variety of benefits and in particular a flexible treatment rate. It can be adapted to the majority of standard agricultural machinery and requires no consumables.
Driven by successful results in 2020 & 2021 for the vine sector, the UV Boosting team is continuing to implement its solution in most of the French vineyards and is beginning to make itself known internationally through trade shows. At the same time, the team is aiming to continue to increase the marketing of the solution for strawberry crops.
