Revolutionary soil amendment from invasive cactus mucilage
Kaktus transforms invasive prickly pear cacti abundant in Cyprus into a concentrated hydrogel that enables Mediterranean farms to reduce water usage by 50% while maintaining crop yields. Using green chemistry extraction methods, we're turning an ecological problem into an agricultural solution.
A Cypriot farmer dips their hand into soil treated with Kaktus gel and finds it's perfectly moist after 3 weeks without irrigation — their tomato plants are green and fruiting while neighboring fields are crispy and brown.
