Success stories
Next generation fertilizer
A multi-year contract was signed between ICL and The Hebrew University to conduct experiments on an advanced sensor-based research platform using the novel system Plantarray by Plant-Ditech. New ICL products will be tested on Plantarray in the iCORE incubator and as a result of the testing the most effective materials will be further developed and will be selected for commercialization
Engineered products
ICL is proud to announce a partnership with the Israel Innovation Authority, to support “Meimad” - an R&D project led by Nobel Laureate Dr. Dan Shechtman of the Israeli Institute of Metals at theTechnion. This R&D initiative seeks to develop new magnesium alloy products and processes, including magnesium 3D printing.
Enhancing P-mobility in the soil
ICL innovation started a project with professors of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem aiming at developing phosphorus fertilizers with high soil mobility to overcome the challenge of phosphorus fixation and achieve improved crops with higher yields. These will hopefully result in enhanced efficiency P-fertilizers that ICL's Crop Nutrition business will bring to market.
New crop enhancers
ICL has partnered with PlantArcBio, an Israeli agritech company, to collaborate on the development of innovative biology-based crop productivity enhancers for agriculture. As part of the project, PlantArcBio is using its discovery capabilities to identify biological targets that will bring improved productivity in various crops for global agriculture.
Improving biocide performance by a synergist
ICL Innovation partnered with Binghamton University from NY, USA to explore a new, non-biocidal, synergist that enhances the performance of ICL’s biocides to remove biofilms and prevent biofilm formation. A joint provisional patent has been submitted and ICL will soon be launching this innovative product under the brand name BactesperseTM.
