Wed, 04 Aug 2021 09:41:29 CDT
Terra Vera, a revolutionary agricultural technology company offering innovative solutions to eliminate pathogens in crops, announced today that it has received approval from the state regulators to operate within Oklahoma and service the state's agricultural industry, including cultivation for its burgeoning licensed medical cannabis sector. Oklahoma is home to 8,000 growers who provide cannabis for more medical patients per capita than any other state in the country.
Using patented technologies, Terra Vera provides cultivators a pesticide-free, effective, and sustainable approach to rid crops of contaminants while preserving the quality and yield of their products. This ensures the cannabis flower they produce remains clean and pure, increasing product safety and consumer confidence
.
"Even a small exposure to pesticides can pose serious health risks to medical cannabis consumers, especially to immunocompromised patients. We're happy to offer a solution to eradicate pesticide use and offer our non-toxic crop management technology and systems throughout the state," said Terra Vera CEO Carlos Perea, who previously founded MIOX Corporation, a technology company with a proven track record of treating drinking water in over 30 countries. "Oklahoma has demonstrated their commitment to producing the safest, highest quality, pesticide-free cannabis for medical patients, and Terra Vera is privileged to play an important role in this rapidly expanding sector."
With its expansion into Oklahoma, Terra Vera currently operates in seven states, including Nevada, New Mexico, California, Arizona, Florida and Oregon, where the company recently announced a co-branding partnership with celebrated cultivator and brand SugarTop Buddery.
While many available products to control and eliminate crop pathogens use harsh toxins and pesticides, Terra Vera's proven platform provides a non-toxic solution safe for growers, consumers, and the environment. The core technology, which is modeled after the U.S. military's approach to treating drinking water to EPA standards, mimics humans' natural biological process for fighting infections by converting organic, inert compounds into an antimicrobial solution that is safe on live tissue yet effective at inactivating pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and fungi.
Terra Vera's additional benefits include lowering cultivators' carbon footprints: instead of relying solely on bottled chemistry, cultivators can complement sustainable integrated pest management processes with on-site generation technology, which eliminates the storage and transportation of potentially hazardous chemicals, which also reduces plastic waste.
"Our mission is to improve the quality, consistency, and yield for any grower interested in more sustainable agricultural practices," added Perea. "Terra Vera's systems typically pay for themselves in a matter of months by replacing expensive, and often toxic, chemical treatments with safe, sustainable technology that helps protect crop yield, reinforce consumer confidence, and build brand value."
Terra Vera introduced its offerings in 2020, working with select clients, and has now expanded its capacities to serve companies and cultivators across the U.S. Its systems are scalable for both large and small operations in a variety of grow methods: outdoor, indoor, and greenhouse. In addition, Terra Vera's experienced team works closely with clients to ensure their agricultural solutions are compliant with state-specific regulations.
