Laser Technology Boosts Agrochemical Absorption: Partners Wanted for Field Trials
Foliar Laser Boost is a patented tool that enhances agrochemical uptake. We provide the laser; partners contribute field access or trial support to validate this innovation and advance crop science together.
Onteko Inc. Invites Agricultural Partners to Join Field Trials of Foliar Laser Boost, a New Laser-Based Tool to Improve Agrochemical Efficiency
Onteko Inc. has developed Foliar Laser Boost, a patented laser-based system that enhances the uptake of agrochemicals by selectively removing the waxy cuticle barrier on plant leaves—without damaging underlying tissue. This simple pre-treatment dramatically improves the penetration of systemic substances, including nutrients, hormones, and disease treatments.
We are actively seeking agricultural partners—research institutions, agribusinesses, growers, or cooperatives—who face challenges in foliar absorption and are interested in participating in joint field trials. We provide the laser tool and technical support; you provide field access and help advance agricultural science.
Our early results are highly promising:
In citrus, we achieved a significant increase in peptide absorption, as confirmed in trials conducted in collaboration with Texas A&M University.
In sunflower, LIBS spectroscopy confirmed over 450% increased uptake of zinc fertilizer following laser pre-treatment.
Preliminary results in tomato and soybean are also encouraging, and a PhD student has launched a new dissertation based on this line of research.
We welcome the opportunity to share published peer-reviewed studies, white papers, and performance data upon request.
Foliar Laser Boost has the potential to reduce chemical use, increase crop productivity, and improve environmental sustainability. Let's collaborate to bring this innovation to the field—literally.

Advanced Mid-Power and High-Power LEDs for Horticulture Lighting
Cree LED's J Series® family offers a comprehensive portfolio of mid-power and high-power LEDs engineered specifically for horticulture lighting. The lineup includes high-efficacy 2835, 3030 and 5050 platforms designed to maximize photon output, energy efficiency, and long-term reliability in demanding grow environments. Photophyllâ„¢ Select options in the JB3030C and 2835 platforms deliver industry-leading efficiency with excellent sulfur resistance and footprint compatibility with 301B/H devices - making design-in seamless for horticulture luminaires. The 2835 N-Class color portfolio adds even greater flexibility with 15 high-efficacy spectral options that support precise spectrum tuning. For high-power applications, the JR5050C provides the industry's highest efficacy in its class and can reduce system costs by up to 40%. The JR5050B complements this with best-in-class efficacy in both 6V and 30V configurations. The J Series portfolio also features top-performing white LEDs. The JB3030C delivers up to 3.33 PPF/W (typical), while the JB2835B offers the highest efficacy available in a 2835 white platform. Together, these solutions give horticulture lighting manufacturers exceptional efficiency, broad spectral versatility and unmatched design flexibility.
