THE PROBLEM

Herbicide resistant weeds have become a significant and costly issue for many farmers, choking out the primary crops, competing for light & nutrients and reducing yields. Some countries restrict the use of herbicides, leaving few if any mechanisms to deal with the issue.

OUR SOLUTION

GNI's heavily patented Directed Energy technology provides a chemical free alternative to weed control. Weed seeds treated by the Direct Energy are sterilized and do not germinate. DE provides sustainable & organic farmers with a much needed solution.
