Lack of new Mode-of-Action (MoAs) for 3 decades Major Ag companies have failed to meet the demand for innovation

All rights reserved to AgPlenus Ltd. ©

Herbicide resistant weeds have flourished

  • · Overuse of existing MoAs has generated selection pressure
    • · 263 herbicide-resistant weed species have evolved*
  • · Substantial economic cost to farmers
    • · Increase costs and reduce yields
    • · United States: Soybeans: \$35/acre additional costs **

The challenge:

There have been no commercial herbicides with a new MoA for over 30 years™

Discovery

Identification of untapped biological pathways leads to new MoA as required by the industry to circumvent ongoing resistance challenges.

Computational selection produces the most promising candidates with the widest structural variety to enable fine tuning of products based on partner and end user needs.

Optimization

Computationally driven solutions addressing optimization development challenges for the selected candidates reduce time and cost to the market to substantially increase the probability of success.
