FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Secure Logic and Newfields Ag Partner to Bring Botanical Disinfection and Automation to Agriculture

HOUMA, LA – July 7, 2025 – In a move poised to transform agricultural disinfection practices, Secure Logic, a disinfection technology innovator, has partnered with Newfields Ag, a leader in agronomic strategy and systems integration, to launch a breakthrough solution for pathogen control in agriculture.

The partnership introduces BotaniMax™, the first-ever 100% botanical disinfectant cleaner registered with the U.S. EPA as a 25(c) broad spectrum disinfectant and under FIFRA 25(b), alongside Genesis 360 HVAC and the AgGriGuard AgMist Misting Systems, Secure Logic’s automated, no-touch misting platforms. The integrated system delivers scalable disinfection and air quality management for livestock operations, processing environments, storage facilities, and indoor grow systems, all without the health risks and residue associated with traditional chemical disinfectants.

“This is a major leap forward for agricultural biosecurity,” said Marty Boquet, CEO and Co-Founder of Secure Logic. “Pathogen control in agriculture has long been chemical-heavy, labor-intensive, and inconsistent. BotaniMax and our Genesis 360 platform provide a safer, automated solution that works with nature, not against it.”

The Growing Threat of Agricultural Pathogens

In 2023 alone, more than $18 billion in crop and livestock value was lost globally due to infectious disease outbreaks, according to the FAO. Pathogens such as Salmonella, E. coli, Aspergillus, and avian or swine flu continue to challenge animal and plant health, often spreading through high-contact surfaces and poorly ventilated environments.

In indoor grow houses and storage facilities, humidity and temperature control systems can amplify airborne fungal spores and bacterial loads. A study published in Applied Environmental Microbiology found that biofilms on HVAC coils in animal facilities can increase the microbial load in recirculated air by up to 80%, posing respiratory risks to both animals and workers.

BotaniMax™ – Botanical Power, Proven Performance

  • Made from 100% plant-derived ingredients, including thyme, wintergreen, and citrus oils
  • EPA 25(b) minimal risk classification, EPA 25(c) broad spectrum disinfectant and verified third-party lab efficacy against Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, and more
  • Delivers a 6-log reduction in microbial pathogens
  • Multi-modal mechanism disrupts cell walls, denatures proteins, and inactivates enzymes, making microbial resistance extremely unlikely
  • No PPE required, non-toxic to humans and animals, and safe for use around food, feed, and crops

“There’s increasing pressure on farms to meet consumer demand for cleaner food and more sustainable practices,” said Michael Musselman, Partner& VP of Newfields Ag. “BotaniMax delivers that without compromise. It’s effective, safe, and aligns with regenerative ag principles.”

Genesis 360 HVAC and In-Room Mist – Clean Air Meets Clean Surfaces

The Genesis 360 automated misting systems, available as in-room standalone units or integrated into HVAC systems, release ultra-fine droplets of BotaniMax to disinfect both air and surface environments, reaching behind and under equipment where manual cleaning cannot.

Key capabilities include:

  • Automated, programmable disinfection cycles (no-touch, no downtime)
  • Dry mist ensures coverage without soaking sensitive equipment
  • Patented droplet technology creates a compounding disinfection effect. Each use builds cumulative antimicrobial protection over time
  • Reduces exposure to airborne pathogens and fungal spores in enclosed barns, hatcheries, and nurseries
  • Improves equipment longevity by reducing biofilm on HVAC coils and air-handling units

A Safer, Smarter Path Forward for Agriculture

Secure Logic and Newfields Ag are aligning to address a critical gap in the agriculture industry: scalable disinfection that doesn’t sacrifice safety, sustainability, or simplicity. With heightened scrutiny around antimicrobial resistance, chemical overuse, and food system resilience, the need for a nature-based, data-driven alternative has never been clearer.

“We’re not just launching a product. We’re delivering a framework for how agriculture can fight pathogens with precision, automation, and a lighter environmental footprint,” said Boquet.

Availability

BotaniMax and Genesis 360 Misting Systems are now available to agricultural producers across North America. Early adopters will receive consultation and implementation support through Newfields Ag’s network of agricultural engineers and systems specialists.
