Our mention in GreenBiz article on CRISPR in agriculture is appreciated as we continue to work towards a climate smart solution for pest control. Along with the other agriculture stakeholders mentioned in the article, it's our responsibility to embrace technologies like CRISPR that offer tangible benefits for both farmers and consumers. #CRISPR #Agriculture #Sustainability #Innovation #FutureofFood

About us
Agragene has developed Precision-Guided Sterile Insect Technology that will reduce grower’s reliance on the 6 billion pounds of pesticides used on crops each year. Agragene is ready to deploy its first “Knock-Out” product in the field which targets spotted wing drosophila. The “Knock-Out” product will benefit crop growers in 3 key ways. 1) The product is much cheaper than the chemical pesticides used now, 2) scarce and expensive field labor is not required and 3) the resulting pesticide-free crop can be Organic-approved which increases grower’s profits. Importantly, “Knock-Out” is non-toxic to bees, other beneficial organisms, the environment and humans. With many states and countries banning pesticides growers must look to safer and cheaper alternatives. Agragene has the solution.
