Pressure to rely less on synthetic inputs
Growers and buyers are asking for alternatives, and the options on the shelf are few.

Plant bioactivity to protect and nourish crops.
The answer to a pest or a struggling crop could be in a native plant that no one has studied.
Why it's hard today
Finding active natural compounds is slow
Screening plants for agricultural activity one by one takes seasons you don't have.
Every region has its own problem
A solution that works in one crop or climate may not travel. Local flora may hold the answer.
What you can do with Moka
With the platform · Moka BDE
- Search Icaros for plants with activity of agricultural interest.
- Prioritize candidates by activity and by origin.
- Check the IP landscape before investing.
- Keep your field and lab results in one place.
With a service
- I have a plant: bring a native species or a crop byproduct, and we find out what it can do.
- I know what I need: bring the crop problem, and we look for the plants that could address it.
- We develop the bioactive to extract, fraction, or molecule.
Questions you can bring us
Every project starts with a question. These are the kind we hear.
- “Which native plant could help against this pest?”
- “Could a byproduct of my crop become a bioinput?”
- “Which compounds in this species show agricultural activity?”
- “Is there anything like this already patented?”
Frequently asked questions
Does Moka register bioinputs?
No. Registration depends on each country's regulation; Moka supports the R&D side.
Can I start from my own crop?
Yes. That's a plant push project: you bring the plant and we find out what it can do.
Do I need prior data on the plant?
No. Icaros can prioritize bioactivity even in species with no previous studies.
Clear terms, in writing.
By contract
Data, results and IP are governed by a written agreement for each project.
Traceable origin
Every plant traceable together with the communities.
Your next plant is waiting.
