Oxford, UK -- Moa Technology has announced a multi-year R&D platform collaboration with Corteva, a global agriculture technology leader, focused on advancing the discovery of novel herbicide solutions to address increasingly complex weed management challenges for farmers. The collaboration will deploy Moa's proprietary discovery platforms with Corteva's deep herbicide R&D expertise to accelerate the identification of novel modes of action for weed control solutions.
"Moa's core strength is discovering genuinely novel tools to tackle rapidly evolving, yield-damaging weed threats," said Dr Virginia Corless, CEO of Moa Technology. "We're delighted to be working with Corteva on this project. The more commercial research collaborations we undertake with industry-leading companies, the faster we can accelerate delivery of safe, effective and affordable new solutions to farmers' fields."
"We're excited to collaborate with Moa to advance the discovery of novel modes of action," said Ashish Batra, vice president of crop health research and development for Corteva. "By combining complementary strengths, we aim to leverage Moa's new approaches in herbicide discovery, and are focused on addressing the evolving challenges farmers face from weed resistance."
About Moa Technology
Since Moa was spun out of Oxford University in 2017, its proprietary technology has discovered a new generation of synthetic and bio-herbicidal compounds based on novel modes of action capable of breaking weed resistance. This partnership is Moa's fourth major industry collaboration signed in the last two years.
