🍇 Can a leaf coating help grapevines cope with drought and heat stress? Presented at #CONAVI2026 new results show that the @SafeWax coating maintains normal gas exchange while helping reduce leaf temperature and support photosynthetic performance under water stress. 🌿 Plant-friendly ☀️ Climate-resilient 🍇 Designed for sustainable viticulture #Viticulture #PlantHealth #ClimateChange #Grapevine

Prof. Boaz Pokroy (@pokroy_lab), @SafeWax coordinator, delivered a plenary lecture at ISM2026 (Tel Aviv), presenting bio-inspired materials and the @SafeWax technology for sustainable #crop protection and environmental resilience. 📣Great opportunity to share our work with the microscopy and materials science community.

🌱 Happy International Day of Plant Health! At @SafeWax, we develop bio-inspired coatings that mimic natural plant cuticles, creating a sustainable protective barrier to reduce crop loss and support greener agriculture. Our goal:
🌿 Less reliance on chemicals
💧 Better protection from stress & pathogens
☀️ Stronger crops under climate change
♻️ Safer, sustainable farming Healthy plants = a healthier planet 🌍 #PlantHealthDay #InternationalDayOfPlantHealth #SafeWax #SustainableAgri

Excellent visibility for @SafeWax at the 18th International Symposium on Biomineralization (BIOMIN XVIII) held in Dresden, Germany (March 16–20, 2026) at TUD Dresden University of Technology facilities. Niv Ben Arie @Niv61352352 presented our latest advances in bioinspired superhydrophobic coatings, including joint work with @Unibo and @BASF, generating strong interest from the international research community. The symposium was co-organized by Prof. Boaz Pokroy and @pokroy_lab members, highlighting SafeWax’s central role in the biomineralization and bio-inspired materials field. Great to see early-career researchers leading impactful science 🌱 #BIOMIN18 #Biomineralization #BioInspired #Superhydrophobic #MultifunctionalCoatings #CropProtection #HorizonEurope
