Nature of Support:

Field Trials

Details of support provided:

We have helped complete field trial and product validation. Twenty four tons of Nemate bags have been sold through field trials. Farmers have saved up to 50% input cost by using Nemate along with other chemical fertilisers. We have also provided support in the standardization of the product formulation, with the support of a mentor. As an outcome, the final documentation has been approved and completed. Augustine will now submit a proposal for business incubation.
