THE PROBLEM
Two deadly diseases affect banana plants:
Fusarium TR4 (Panama disease)
A fungal disease that enters banana plants through the roots, clogging their vascular system and ultimately leading to plant death. This poses a major risk to popular banana varieties like the Cavendish and Indian varieties such as Yelakki.
Sigatoka
A fungal disease caused by Mycosphaerella fijiensis and Pseudocercospora fijiensis, is a highly destructive foliar disease that globally impacts the banana industry. It leads to significant economic losses by reducing leaf surface area, compromising fruit quality, and decreasing shelf life

TWO PRODUCTS. ONE MISSION.
Biological science replacing chemical intervention
Our biodivision InnoScience develops and commercializes biological crop protection products — plant vaccines and a mutual resistant plant variety — that work with nature rather than against it.
Defending the world's banana supply
World's first scalable plant vaccine against TR4
Panama disease (Fusarium TR4) has no chemical cure and is spreading irreversibly across banana-growing regions in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. BanacXin is a proprietary biological plant vaccine that primes the banana plant’s own immune response — providing protection without genetic modification or chemical fungicide.
Our premium cattle feed is scientifically formulated to deliver balanced nutrition at every stage, helping farmers and cooperatives improve productivity and profitability with trusted quality.
Key Facts
Organic, non-GMO, safe for humans and the environment
Effective against TR4 and Sigatoka, versatile applications
Fungicide reduction up to 80%
Does not contribute to pathogen resistance
Promotes plant growth and yield
11 patent applications, country specific
Winner of FICCI 2024, India's most innovative Tech Award

How it works
BanacXin works by triggering systemic acquired resistance in the banana plant — activating its own defense pathways before the pathogen can establish as well as after the plant has been infected. Applied at the planting stage and periodically through the growth cycle, it provides both durable, scalable protection and cure. No GMO. No residue. No resistance build-up. Compatible with organic certification programs.
