Scientists Created a Plant-Based Wax That Could Cut Pesticide Use by 50%

Global hunger affects hundreds of millions of people, and plant health is emerging as a key factor in improving food security.

Israeli researchers have developed SafeWax, a plant-based coating that mimics the natural waxy layer of plants to protect crops from disease, UV damage, and dehydration.

Tests on tomatoes, peppers, grapevines, and bamboo showed that SafeWax can cut pesticide use by at least 50% while maintaining normal photosynthesis and plant growth.
