The Role of Biorationals
Valent BioSciences’ biorationals are an effective alternative to conventional pesticides and antimicrobials. With the power of biorationals, we can shape the future of our agricultural systems, public health, and the health of our forests.
What are biorationals?
Biorationals are low-impact substances or products that are typically biologically derived. If biorationals are synthetic, they are structurally similar and functionally identical to biologically occurring material.
Biorationals include biopesticides and non-pesticidal products that have multiple uses, including crop stress management, enhanced plant physiology benefits, root growth management, and postharvest, or as an alternative control agent to traditional pesticides and antimicrobials.
