The Taipei Biotech Awards ceremony was held on September 24th, where Professor Tzu-Bi Huang from the Department of Plant Pathology at National Chung Hsing University (NCHU) and her team won the Excellence Award in the Technology Transfer Cooperation category for their project titled "The Diverse Applications of Carbon-Neutral Probiotics in Agricultural Green Circulation." This is the only team to receive an award in the field of agricultural biotechnology. DIAMOND QUANTUM BIOTECH CO.,LTD. is honored to be a part of this collaboration and looks forward to further promoting the application of this technology to support sustainable agricultural development.

We appreciate the coverage by Economic Daily News. Chairman Lin Dong-Wu of Diamond Quantum Biotechnology has leveraged R&D advantages to transform traditional chemical raw materials into nano-grade calcium carbonate, successfully entering the agricultural sector and promoting organic and microbial technologies. These efforts align with the Ministry of Agriculture's "Carbon Reduction and Sequestration" policy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, the company was awarded the Gold Root Award and the Taichung Low-Carbon Sustainable City Outstanding Contribution Award in 2023.

Our company will participate in the 2024 Bio Asia-Taiwan held at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center from 7/25 to 7/28. Friends who are interested can join us at the venue for a discussion!!

Three major applications of Diamond Quantum's Bacillus subtilis 151B1 strain:

A. In plants: It promotes the growth of various plants, enhances yield and quality, possesses multiple enzyme activities, phosphorus solubilizing activity, and the ability to produce the plant growth hormone indole acetic acid. It also has the ability to prevent bacterial and fungal diseases in plants and can degrade pesticides such as Malathion and Dichlorvos, as well as the fungicide Thiabendazole.
B. In livestock: It improves the feeding efficiency of piglets and meat pigs, reduces the content of hydrogen sulfide and thiols in feces, thus lowering odor, improves the overall environment of the breeding area, and reduces the number of potential pathogenic E. coli in the intestines of pigs, among other applications in livestock breeding.
C. In aquaculture: It can enhance the fullness of fish, increase meat yield, improve feed efficiency, effectively inhibit intestinal pathogens, reduce fish disease incidence, improve water quality in breeding environments, decrease organic matter in water, adjust the biological composition of algae in the water, and alter the gut microbiota of fish, among other applications in aquaculture.

The rapid development of smart agricultural technologies stems from the swift advancement of information technology, aimed at helping farmers and fishermen utilize technological management to increase production efficiency while effectively responding to natural disasters to reduce losses. Taiwan holds a globally leading position in the field of information technology. In recent years, smart agriculture has become an emerging field attracting investments from numerous enterprises. As environmental changes persist, circular economy models across various industries are viewed as critical strategies for sustainable development. New agriculture is the core of the biological and industrial cycles within the circular economy system and one of the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals. This plays a pivotal role in the government's push to realize the vision of "net-zero carbon emissions by 2050."

May 22, 2024, Shengang, Taichung - In the face of increasingly severe climate change and global warming, practicing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance) sustainable management has become an inescapable responsibility for businesses. DIAMOND QUANTUM deeply understands this responsibility and actively participated in the "International Biodiversity Day Tree Planting Event and Experimental Base Unveiling Ceremony" organized by its partner VEELED INCORPORATION on May 22, 2024, in Shengang, Taichung.

When the Dia-Agri team visited the Fresh Strawberry Gardens in A Lian, Kaohsiung, they encountered a severe issue of strawberry anthracnose. This fungal infection has a latent period of several months and can cause crop losses of up to seventy percent once infected. Controlling anthracnose requires frequent removal of diseased plants and extensive pesticide use, posing adverse effects on both the environment and farmers' health.

To respond to the international trend of carbon reduction and comply with the government's net-zero carbon emissions target, Diamond Quantum has been proactively conducting greenhouse gas inventories since 2019. This initiative aims to understand the greenhouse gas emissions from its facilities and utilize the inventory results to implement carbon reduction measures. For instance, it adopts smart manufacturing, digitally monitors energy usage, gradually replaces old equipment with energy-efficient and sensor-equipped lighting fixtures, and integrates carbon reduction into normal operations to accelerate the company's sustainable development transition.

Recently, the Dia-Agri team visited a passion fruit orchard in Gaoshu Township, Pingtung County. They adopted non-toxic cultivation practices, utilizing nano-calcium silicon fertilizer and Bacillus subtilis 151B1 liquid fertilizer. This management approach resulted in robust growth of passion fruit plants, abundant fruit yield, and sturdy stems capable of withstanding dramatic temperature changes, preventing premature fruit drop. Moreover, the resilient fruit skins resist anthracnose infection, exemplifying the use of environmentally friendly materials in passion fruit cultivation.

Since its establishment, DIAMOND QUANTUM has steadfastly adhered to the belief in "agricultural food safety and health," dedicating itself to providing technological support for agricultural production and fulfilling corporate social responsibility. In this collaboration with National Chung Hsing University, the joint development of microorganisms and the application of nanotechnology have led to the successful development of nano-calcium silicon fertilizer, which is now being applied in tea tree cultivation management.

The 20th National Innovation Award is bestowed upon the collaborative team comprising the Department of Plant Pathology at National Chung Hsing University and the Agricultural Technology Research Institute, recognizing their outstanding contributions to the diverse applications of Bacillus spore-forming bacterium. The research team has successfully identified a versatile strain, Bacillus subtilis 151B1, with practical applications in plant and animal health, ecological restoration, carbon reduction, and green cycles.

Diamond Quantum is committed to the transformation of organic and microbial technologies, as well as investment in smart manufacturing and agricultural technology. What Lin Yuehyi advocates is actually "rational fertilization to promote the reduction of pesticides in half." Diamond Quantum adheres to this concept to develop its own products, sell them for export, and provide OEM services to overseas customers. Its main trading countries include Japan, China, the Philippines, and Malaysia. At present, the main cooperation and interaction is in Japan, from the OEM of fertilizers to the import and export of small quantities of agricultural products. Lin Yuehyi has been committed to expanding the diverse possibilities of the enterprise. At the same time, Diamond Quantum continues to improve product process technology and promote emission reduction and sustainable development, hoping to maintain the company's innovative vitality and international visibility in the environmental supply chain.
