Smart crop protection | Linde Zhou | TEDxSittardGeleen

90% of the 300 million kilograms of pesticides used in Europe a year, are wasted in the water and soil. Linde Zhou and her team developed a new pesticide additive that can makes pesticides stick better on plants. The result is less waste and less pesticide usage.

Linde Zhou is a young professional educated in the fields of medicine and technology. In her Master’s study, she specialized in biomaterials and tissue engineering in the group of Prof. Dr. W.F.J. Feitz and Dr. E. Oosterwijk at the department of Urology of the Radboud UMC, Nijmegen, NL. From this specialization, she has built up extensive experience in clinical research and the development of applications from the APonics™synthetic thermo reversible hydrogel. In 2014, she established the Novioponics company to develop and commercialize APonics™ as a new pesticide adjuvant that can decrease the pesticide usage with at least 50%.
