AgBiome is leading the way in the next agricultural revolution with the most innovative use of the plant microbiome for identifying and developing genetic traits and biological pesticides. The company is expanding its capabilities in bringing new products to the market and accelerating the strategy of combining biologicals with synthetic chemicals for maximum efficacy and mitigation of pesticide resistance.
"This investment enables AgBiome to develop markets for Howler™ and Connate™ products that consist of combinations of biologicals and chemicals. These products will allow for the reduced use of necessary chemicals along with high efficacy that agriculture needs. This is a game-changing technology for agriculture," says John Rabby, Commercial Director at AgBiome Innovations.
