Description

The company uses Precision-Guided Sterile Insect Technology (pgSIT) to engineer sterile male crop pests that mate with wild female crop pests, thereby suppressing invasive pests and eradicating mosquito-borne diseases. Agragene's sustainable products are applicable to thousands of insect pests worldwide, reducing growers' reliance on chemical pesticides. The company's first "Knock-Out" product, which targets spotted wing drosophila, is cheaper than chemical pesticides, does not require expensive field labor, and is non-toxic to bees, other beneficial organisms, the environment, and humans.
