Biological Insecticide Development
AgBiTech pioneers baculovirus-based insecticides that combat chemical-resistant pests. Our research focuses on co-evolving viruses with target pests to ensure long-term efficacy. These solutions integrate into sustainable farming systems, reducing reliance on synthetic chemicals.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
We provide IPM solutions combining biological and chemical methods. Our approach minimizes resistance development while preserving natural predators. Farmers gain cost-effective, season-long pest suppression tailored to regional challenges.
Global Agricultural Support
Our team offers on-ground technical advice across five continents. From product selection to application training, we ensure growers maximize returns. Localized support in key markets enhances adoption and effectiveness.
Virus-Based Product Manufacturing
We mass-produce baculoviruses using proprietary insect-rearing systems. Automated processes ensure high-potency batches, with quality-certified products distributed via temperature-controlled networks to maintain viability.
Pest Resistance Management
Our products target pests resistant to GM crops and chemicals. By leveraging viral specificity, we offer rotational tools that disrupt resistance mechanisms, ensuring sustained agricultural productivity without ecological harm.
