Tectus Matrix® Nanotechnology Platform
Tectus Matrix® products are fungicide, bactericide and biostimulant formulas that have been proven to control every plant pathogen tested to date, treat abiotic stress, stimulate plant growth, and increase yields significantly on numerous high value crops (bananas and tomatoes).
The products act systemically, and the mode of action is disruption of the pathogen membranes, therefore not causing pathogenic mutation. In a tomato greenhouse test, Salveo’s Tectus Matrix® doubled the yield.
Formulations are a novel patented nanotechnology platform utilizing natural elements from the periodic table. Therefore making Tectus Matrix® is a sustainable invention with the potential to replace and as effective as synthetic chemicals. The technology platform utilizing natural earth elements makes Tectus Matrix® unique as it provides a methodology to develop many products.
Tectus Matrix® has been proven in vitro and live greenhouse trials against Panamá Disease as a curative/preventative at Texas A&M University.
Our formulas have also been proven in vitro and in vivo on 14 pathogens: including Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Bacteria Erwinia, Cladosporium, Colletotrichum truncatum, Colletotrichum gloeosporoides, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense (TR4), Phytophtora cinnamoni, and Phytophtora, Rhizoctonia. These pathogens are most common and very dangerous pathogens in agriculture.
The Pandemic of Bananas: FOC TR4
Today, 99% of all bananas exported in the world fall under the Cavendish banana strain, initially grown because of its resistance to the Panamá Disease, also known as banana wilt. However, the current mutation of the Panamá Disease (banana wilt) threatens to annihilate the Cavendish banana and other varieties of banana.
According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, “TR4 is the most destructive of all banana plant diseases. ‘Bios-security measures’ including on-farm quarantine are recommended to lessen its spread, but there is no known fungicidal treatment.”1
Due to the longevity of the fungus in the soil, infected land becomes unavailable for bananas for decades. Without significant intervention, the FAO report says, TR4 will spread and annihilate the majority of Cavendish banana plantations by 2040.
Long Term Solution:
Tectus Matrix® is the treatment and cure according to live tests at Texas A&M University.

Why Tectus Matrix®?
Agricultural crops have been plagued for hundreds of years with fungal, bacterial and viral infections.
BANANAS Panamá Disease, FOC TR4
Tectus Matrix® is a patented, bio-stimulant, bioprotectant nutrient amendment, and can be a broad-spectrum natural and organic biocide and bactericide liquid that controls and mitigates fungal and bacterial diseases.
At Texas A&M University (TAMU), one of the top 20 agricultural universities globally, the Salveo team successfully tested the dosing and efficacy of Tectus Matrix against TR4. A randomized block design of in vivo studies (A&M greenhouses) was successfully completed in July 2020.
The Results
Tectus Matrix® was proven as a preventative and curative on FOC TR4 banana wilt on Cavendish banana plants. This is promising news for banana farmers worldwide!
BANANAS Moko and Sigatoka Negra 2024
Two Tectus Matrix® formulas were tested in Guayaquil, Ecuador at ESPOL University in Dec. 2024 and proven effect against Moko and Sigatoka Negra (BLSD). Email us for a report copy.

What are Biostimulants, Fungicides and Bactericides?
Biostimulant
The category is actually still without a legal definition in the United States. In Europe, biostimulants have been defined by the European Biostimulants Industry Council as: “Contain[ing] substance(s) and/or micro-organisms whose function when applied to plants or the rhizosphere is to stimulate natural processes to enhance/benefit nutrient uptake, nutrient efficiency, tolerance to abiotic stress, and crop quality.”
Bactericides
Pathogens (funguses and bacteria) respond to the use of fungicides/bactericides by different mechanisms. Many chemical products cause fungi and bacteria mutations and/or resistance (normally to a single gene) which reduces the effectiveness of the product. Salveo’s evidence has shown that Tectus Matrix® does not, making it much more effective than traditional fungicides and bactericides.
Fungicides
Fungicides and bactericides are specific types of pesticides used in controlling food crop fungal/bacterial diseases by inhibiting or killing the causal fungal/bacteria agents. Fungicides and bactericides are routinely used on literally ALL commercial food crops including the treatment of post-harvest diseases. Even organic farms use these products.
