Envu has joined forces with BioConsortia, an innovator in microbial crop solutions, to evaluate and develop biological solutions for noncrop applications in the environmental science industry.
“Biological solutions are a critical part of our sustainability commitment to nature-positive innovation,” said Bernard Jacqmin, head of global innovation for Envu. “Through our work with BioConsortia, we hope to enhance our portfolio with forward-thinking innovations that complement existing modes of action. For our customers, this means an expanded range of sustainable solutions to help them meet their toughest challenges.”
This collaboration reflects the growing demand for sustainable alternatives for pest management and plant protection, driven by both consumer demand and increasing regulatory pressures, and supports both companies’ strategic objectives and a shared vision of driving innovation that balances the needs of society and nature while providing superior solutions for customers.
BioConsortia uses its patented Advanced Microbial Selection (AMS) process and GenePro platform, along with advanced genomics techniques, for the discovery, design and selection of microbes. These technologies enable the company to effectively predict and harness the natural power of microbes. Envu is leveraging its track record in technology development and commercialization in the environmental science space as well as its global reach and deep understanding of regulatory landscapes and customer needs to accelerate the adoption of biological solutions in environmental science markets.
In the 2024 season, Envu tested advanced biological candidates from BioConsortia’s pipeline, and they yielded promising results. Building on this momentum, the partnership will move forward with select candidates in 2025 while continuing to explore additional technologies in the development pipeline.
