About us
Pests have always challenged human existence by harming its agricultural production and food availability, consequently increasing the cost of food. The modern response to this problem has been the advent of pesticides, that achieved secure dependable food sources, however it is currently accomplished at the expense of human health and long term damage to the environment.
Biofeed has developed an innovative and effective, Patented, control technology that without harming human health and the environment , enables users to continuously control pests, currently for up to 1 year, and in the future for up to 3 years.
The Company was founded by Mr. Nimrod Israely, Ph.D., a fruit fly ecologist who began his work as a fruit grower and a Plant-Protection Officer. Mr. Israely established the Biofeed-Regime, which is especially suitable for fruit fly Area-Wide-Control, and can be easily adapted to other pest species.
Biofeed technology has been initially applied to fruit flies, which are the most significant group of fruit-infesting 
pests throughout the world, and therefor causes the most extensive (from 30 up to 100%) damage to the fruit-growing industry. Current fruit fly control methods rely primarily on toxic insecticide sprays, posing a threat to growers, the general public and the environment. Consequently, current Requirements are stricter and aim for zero fruit-fly infestation and zero chemical residues. Biofeed's innovative solution consists of a simple, easy to use 'feeding station' utilizing a unique, innovative (Patented) Slow Fluid Release (SFR) technology, specific to the target pest, and working continuously for up to a year.
Growers using the Biofeed-Regime have experienced a sharp - 98% on average - decrease in fruit fly spraying,
alongside a simultaneous drop of 93% in infestation, compared to a spraying regime! Note: It is further reported that this decrease is followed by over 60% less spraying for the control of pests, other than fruit flies.
Future developments and innovations, based on unique know-how and Patents, will increase the effective period of the product for up to three years, using fewer units per hectare and will enable simultaneous control of several pests.
