Biologicals: Industry Leading Position
Broad Footprint, Unique Capabilities in Microbial Discovery, Characterization & Stabilization
Engineered microbes enable plants to partially fulfill their nitrogen needs, offering farmers a reliable
and sustainable alternative to synthetic fertilizers.
In just 18 months, the R&D team in Boston developed microbial leads that are ready to move
into greenhouse and micro plot testing.
These “probiotics for plants” harness the power of the soil microbiome to give farmers more solutions
for crop nutrition.
