Description:

First-in-class crop protection using behavioral modifiers and sex pheromones for sustainable pest control.

Key Highlights:

  • Funding Raised: $20M

  • Annual Commercial Deployment: 200k+ Acres

  • Pheromone Molecules Developed: 50+

  • Farmers Supported: 100k+

Core Problem Statement

Chemical pesticide overuse and consequent pest resistance leave farmers with sub-optimal crop outcomes, escalating input expenses, and a severe lack of scalable, eco-friendly biocontrol alternatives.

Solution Overview

First-in-class crop protection framework built on a novel behavior-modulation pheromone platform for sustainable pest management. The system integrates controlled-release delivery mechanics for sustained field emission alongside a drone-optimized delivery platform for high-precision aerial spraying at scale.

Strategic Engagement Opportunities

ATGC's extensive pheromone-behavior dataset and biological control assets offer global agricultural corporations and research networks a validated candidate for enterprise-scale field pilots, commercial sourcing, and strategic procurement agreements.
