Description:
First-in-class crop protection using behavioral modifiers and sex pheromones for sustainable pest control.
Key Highlights:
Funding Raised: $20M
Annual Commercial Deployment: 200k+ Acres
Pheromone Molecules Developed: 50+
Farmers Supported: 100k+
Core Problem Statement
Chemical pesticide overuse and consequent pest resistance leave farmers with sub-optimal crop outcomes, escalating input expenses, and a severe lack of scalable, eco-friendly biocontrol alternatives.
Solution Overview
First-in-class crop protection framework built on a novel behavior-modulation pheromone platform for sustainable pest management. The system integrates controlled-release delivery mechanics for sustained field emission alongside a drone-optimized delivery platform for high-precision aerial spraying at scale.
Strategic Engagement Opportunities
ATGC's extensive pheromone-behavior dataset and biological control assets offer global agricultural corporations and research networks a validated candidate for enterprise-scale field pilots, commercial sourcing, and strategic procurement agreements.
