EdenShield has developed a patented plant-based alternative to chemical pesticides that is eco-friendly and highly effective.

Trials demonstrate nearly 100% blockage of insects, and up to 90% reduction in insecticide use for targeted pests.

Founded: 2012 into Trendlines Agtech accelerator.

2014: concluded technical proof of concept, raised capital.

2015: development and initial pilots of the GateKeeper solution. Efficacy demonstrated.

2016: GreenFence pilots, Spain distributor engaged, pilots by partners in Italy and Greece.

2017: Established sales. Engage distributors in Turkey, Greece, Italy, Mexico. Mass production of extract. Multiplying Achilea crops.

2016 EdenShield

• Lab experiments using the Olfactometer: Repeated 30 times. Significant results: 67% choose non ES side, 33% choose ES side.

• Lab experiments using EdenShield’s apparatus: Repeated 4 times. Significant results: 90% choose non ES side, 10% choose ES side. EdenShield’s apparatus simulates field conditions.

• Field trials: Currently being carried out in collaboration with Hazera-seeds and Bio-Bee – dominant opinion leaders in the ecological IPM

R&D

• Research results will be presented at the 16th international symposium on insect-plant relationships taking place from the 2nd to 6th of July 2017, in Tours, France.

The Device We create a constant odor of Achilea at the greenhouse entrance or perimeter.

To achieve this we use two devices: GateKeeper and GreenFence.

GateKeeper: Installed in the greenhouse entrance and prevents the penetration of Whitefly and Tuta Absoluta.

GreenFence: Installed on the perimeter of the greenhouse and prevents the penetration of Thrips.

GateKeeper GreenFence

GateKeeper – How it Works

External Sticky Trap –loaded with Whiteflies and other insects

550 whiteflies

Internal Sticky Trap –nearly no Whiteflies!

3 whitefliesin a week!

• Whiteflies and Tuta Absoluta penetrate greenhousesthrough entrances + openings, not through screens

• EdenShield’s NET sprayed via GateKeeper masks crops’ odor at greenhouse entrances

• Nearly 100% reduction in amount of pests entering vs. insects just outside

• Nearly no occurrence of viruses

Test case- Israeli Tomato Grower, 1 Ha Greenhouse increasing crop yield. Without GateKeeper With GateKeeper

increases yield by 5%-20%Annual output from greenhouse 250 tons 260-300 tonsAnnual revenue from greenhouse $340,000 $354,000-$408,000Additional revenue to grower $14,000 - $68,000

reducing pesticide use. Without GateKeeper With GateKeeper

reduces pesticide use > 75%Annual whitefly pesticide cost $2,600 $650Annual EdenShield product cost (1 entrance) - $930Total crop protection spend $2,600 $1,580Savings to grower $1,020

• Additional pesticide spend & additional yield from GK due to tuta absoluta is excluded
