Innovations for World Nutrition (IFWN), a technology company focused on development and commercialization of a growth technology combating world hunger, has announced filing protection for five new amazing plant growth technologies. IFWN was first reported on by Green Markets in April of 2018 having developed technology to increase rice yield by 56%. These new technologies build on the early technology modifying it to include wheat, corn, and cotton. It appears that other areas of inclusion will be trees and energy grasses.
The new research and development work has centered on reducing the growth promoter formulations while reducing the cost and increasing the ease of application. The development work for IFWN has been done by Applied Chemical Technology (ACT) over a period of four years of lab, greenhouse, and field work under the direction of Ray Shirley who in over 58 years of research and development with Monsanto, TVA’s NFDC, and ACT provided many exceptional technologies such as sulfur coated urea, other slow release products, and many falling curtain and other agricultural technologies. The IFWN developments involve dramatic improvements in early plant growth resulting in remarkable increases in harvest. The growth promoters provide other necessities for early plant growth not provided by recognized fertilizers and micro nutrients. Plants grow faster, healthier, and develop more grain as a result of the head start and increase in early growth. The fertilizer nutrients are used more efficiently so additional nutrients can be utilized by the plant to maximize increase in grain yield and protein content that the plants can now achieve with these exceptional growth promoters. The IFWN growth promoters do not take the place of fertilizer ingredients, they just make them extremely efficient.
The cost of the growth promoter ingredients is low and the storage, handling, and application technology is easy.
The ingredients of these technologies are readily available worldwide and are expected to make an amazing impact on world food supplies with reduced costs. That is the goal of IFWN!
In keeping with IFWN goal of humanitarianism and the tremendous growth opportunities this technology presents, IFWN is currently seeking strategic partners to assist in the effort to further develop, tests, and provide production and commercialization of the growth promoters. Shirley sees what has been achieved up to now as only a fantastic start toward what can be achieved with the further expansion of these technologies and as a result eliminate world food and fiber shortages with their use.
