Symbionts are designed to provide on-host production and delivery of biomolecules to control plant disease pathogens, insect, mite and nematode pests; positively affect specific plant productivity characteristics, such as flowering pattern, plant height, root health, or modify plant responses to abiotic stress – all without sprays or genetic modification to host plants in a range of agronomic, horticultural, forestry, and other crop industries.

Symbionts establish cell-to-cell connections with the host plant’s vascular network. Through this internal network Symbionts continuously deliver specific biomolecules that they have been programmed to produce.

Symbiont technology is anticipated to completely redefine many of the existing production methods, bringing constructive changes to the supply chain. Localized manufacturing reduces transport, storage, and handling while eliminating mixing and spray applications. Symbiont technology is expected to bring unprecedented sustainability with magnitude reductions in energy expenditures and environmental impact.

Virtually anyone that uses plants, agricultural and horticultural crops, commercial and native forests, ornamental trees, and shrubs should benefit from this novel technology.
