PI AgSciences will debut at the SCV (Seeds with Vigor) Innovation Fair, on March 4th and 5th, 2026, in Muitos Capões (RS). The company will present solutions focused on soybean and rotation crop management, with an emphasis on protection against foliar diseases, combating nematodes, and increasing productivity.

The company highlights PREtec (Plant Response Elicitor Technology), a patented peptide platform developed for agriculture. This technology underpins the company's current portfolio and innovation pipeline. The offering expands opportunities in the global agricultural market, with an emphasis on plant protection and respect for the soil and the environment.

Among the solutions, the company is showcasing Saori, a biochemical fungicide for controlling foliar diseases in soybeans. Applied in seed treatment, the product also helps control pod anomalies, an emerging disease in the crop, and preserves reproductive structures.

Another technology presented, Teikko, acts in the control of nematodes. The solution allows for a selective response of the plant to parasites that are harmful to its development. According to the Brazilian Society of Nematology, losses over ten years could reach R$ 870 billion. Trials indicated gains of up to 6,4 sacks per hectare.

The solutions are part of the company's strategy in the face of advancing climate change, with increased environmental stress and new profiles of pests and diseases. The company also presents Hplant, focused on productivity and resilience in different conditions.

“Participating in an event where family history intertwines with the advancement of agriculture in the state of Rio Grande do Sul represents an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and efficiency in the field,” says Juliano Duarte, PI AgSciences' technical sales manager for the region.
