PhytoGenesis leverages plant-based compounds to develop safe and non-toxic alternatives to fungicides and other pesticides
PhytoGenesis’ environmentally friendly products provide broad-spectrum protection against a variety of diseases throughout the plant life cycle. We deliver a single application that defends the plant’s health against a lifetime of pathogens.
Our mission is to help farmers impact global food security through sustainable plant protection solutions that improve agricultural production.
PhytoGenesis’ research takes advantage of the plant’s inherent immune processes to identify molecules with both curative and prophylactic properties. These molecules can be developed as spray treatments and seed coatings for use in crop production and home garden applications.
PhytoGenesis’ founders are a diverse group that are purpose built to drive research, scale production, and commercialize products.
Their team is comprised of industry leading plant pathology PhDs, commercial agronomists, corporate executives, and finance professionals. The expertise and distinct skill sets of the founding members allows for critical intellectual property development and rapid execution and deployment of commercial technology.
