BIOLÓGICOS

Sri BioEstética
ÍNDIA

“Estabelecida em Hyderabad, Índia, em 2018, desta empresa fundador vendeu um negócio de produtos biológicos semelhante para a Valagro, que por sua vez foi vendida para Syngenta in 2021. Therefore, this company has a high degree of credibility and great know-how in this field. With new multi-million-dollar plants and labs about to be completed, and a strong research and development focus, they are poised to go global and be a force in the rapidly growing biostimulants and biopesticides sectors.” — Liew

Certis Biológicos
ESTADOS UNIDOS

“Certis Biológicos is expanding their development personnel in the field after their approval for Isaria fumosorosea. North America is a tough region for biologicals, as conventional pesticides still outperform at a lower price tag, but with the company’s 2020 change in leadership, I am looking forward to seeing how Certis accelerates their pipeline to address the need for biologicals that can address pest management in the market.” — McCann

Surcos
ARGENTINA

“Surcos, led by Sebastian Calvo, started the development of new technologies in the field of phytosanitary products. The company’s nanotechnology works with agrochemicals formulations to minimize the use of petroleum-derived solvents and improve the efficiency of active ingredients. The most innovative companies dedicate time to researching, registering in different countries, field testing, and working with current agrochemicals. The most important goal in agriculture is to create a positive impact on the environment, while also increasing yield and quality, and companies like Surcos are leading the way with this innovation.” — Potrie

TECNOLOGIA AGRÍCOLA

Enko 
ESTADOS UNIDOS

“Enko received another round of funding in 2022 and is one of the few start-ups in the industry that focus on crop protection. Using drug discovery and development approaches with artificial intelligence, DNA-encoded libraries, and machine learning, Enko is bringing ag tech innovation to discover and develop new pesticides. As we meet more challenges each year with existing pesticides, it is important to keep the discovery pipeline full of options. After the announcements of collaborations with Bayer, Nufarm, and Syngenta, I am looking forward to seeing what exciting crop protection products come out of these collaborations.” — McCann

The geo reports for each farm that is member of this program can share their information with the network. This helps each user to have more options and more experience in each crop plantation.” — Potrie.
