Next-generation plant protection

Empower crop producers with proven biological technologies and products

Our services

Next-generation biocontrol

We provide highly effective biological solutions for your production systems

Target groups: Horticultural, arable, orchard and forestry growers, advisors, propagators and ag biotech

Solutions: Tailor-made and broad-spectrum biologicals, and microbe-enhanced seeds or vegetative material

Approach: Proprietary in-house technologies (proven assessment, selection and application systems) combined with collaborations with innovative plant breeders, propagators, biologicals manufactures, and research institutes.

Microbiome-assisted resistance breeding

We integrate functional microbiome attributes in your breeding pipeline to substantially improve phenotype predictions

Target group: Plant breeders

Solutions: Microbial genetic markers, microbiome-assisted screening assays and derived selection schemes, microbial seed technologies

Approach: Heritable, plant-associated microbiome features provide the missing link between agronomic phenotypes (e.g. disease resistance) and low-informative crop traits (e.g. disease score) and QTLs/prediction models.

Such holobiont-based genetic analyses and derived markers advance high-throughput screens, improve GxE predictions, and allow to identify promising seed inocula that elicit desired plant phenotypes.

Risk & Sustainability assessments

We evaluate the effect of your agricultural inputs on plant & soil microbiomes to optimise SOPs

Target groups: Farmers, advisors and ag biotech

Solution: Optimised chemical and biological inputs

Approach: Proprietary microbiome analyses and competent expert advice to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of external inputs (e.g. pesticides and fertilisers) on crop performance, environment and health.
