It does not contain any insecticide or fungicide and is harmless to insects and animals living in the forest. Wax is fully biodegradable, non-reactive, non-toxic and insoluble in water. Key benefits New technology requires a combination of knowledge from different fields. For pine weevil protection this involves plant health, entomology (science of insects), environmental issues, machines and mechanical engineering. A full scale solution must have studied all aspects Confidence based on extensive studies Research institutions that have studied Ekovax: • University of Oslo (UIO): UIO has studied how the wax coating influences the plant development in various projects since 2000. UIO participated in the EU Framework 7 Weevilstop project (2012-2015) and contributed with studies of plant growth, biodegradation and toxicity. • Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU): SLU have conducted field trials with wax for protection against pine weevil since 1992. SLU participated in the Weevilstop project and was responsible for studying pine weevil behavior around and on waxed plants. • Field trials comparing insecticides and wax in different regions of Norway have been conducted by UIO and partly by NIBIO.
