Bliss Ecospray was launched in January 2021 following a meeting between Vincent de Rudnicki, who developed the company’s technology, and Yves Matton and his associates working at startup studio TechnoFounders. Vincent de Rudnicki, a researcher at ISTREA, part of INRAE, has developed a technology for optimising the use of phytosanitary products in wine-growing.
The aim of Bliss Ecospray is to reduce the drift of phytosanitary products used in viticulture. The impact of plant protection products on water and soil is well known and recognised. The wine industry is one of the biggest consumers of these products, but as part of the transition to more sustainable farming practices, it needs to find solutions to reduce or limit the use of these products.
