Pesticide active ingredients with a novel mode of action
Managing pest resistance development
To help the agricultural industry fight the battle of pest resistance development we are utilizing protein complexes with a novel mode of action - pore formation through lipid targeting.
Thanks to the unique target and composition Pestevene protein complexes
have a promising efficacy stability to protect plants from pest damage in the long run;
effect larvae at very early stages - providing plant protection from the disease onset
are safe for non-target organisms and the environment - assisting the farmer in transition to sustainable agricultural practices
From discovery to application
At Pestevene we are utilizing our knowledge of pore forming proteins (PFPs) to optimize their application as active ingredients through plant genetic transformation or formulation for foliar applications.
Our PFP complexes provide defense against common pests with significant economic damage to crops, such as:
Western Corn Rootworm
Colorado Potato Beetle
In late 2024 will be excited to showcase the performance of Pestevene defense complex on our first PlyA / PlyB transgenic corn plant with a built in defense against Coleopterans incl. the Western Corn Rootworm.
