Source: AgBiome Innovations news release
AgBiome Innovations™ today announced a new partnership with SePRO Corporation to combine their strengths to offer an innovative biological product to the turf and ornamental market. The first product, a highly effective, broad-spectrum fungicide, is expected to be available for applications in early 2017.
"Our ever-growing collection of sequenced microbes, combined with AgBiome's proprietary screening capabilities, results in unique and powerful discoveries that will benefit horticulturists, landscapers, nursery operators and turf professionals," says Dr. Lee Simmons, AgBiome Innovations Technical Director. "SePRO's knowledge of the turf and ornamental market and expertise in commercializing products make them the perfect partner to bring our first product to these markets."
The new biological fungicide to be marketed by SePRO was developed by AgBiome, Inc. through its unique Genesis™ discovery platform. The product effectively controls economically important and problematic pathogens. This novel fungicide is a biopesticide with the efficacy and performance of comparable synthetic chemical solutions and will be OMRI certified.
"At SePRO we're always looking for partnerships that will help solve our customers' challenges in an innovative and sustainable manner," says Mark Brotherton, Portfolio Leader, SePRO Corporation. "Our partnership with AgBiome Innovations continues that trend. The AgBiome discovery and development platform is unlike any we've seen, and we are excited to introduce this new technology to our customers."
