BIOLOGICALS
FOR FOOD PRODUCTION
Pebble Labs uses naturally occurring microbes from crops of interest to deliver the power of RNA for solutions that target formidable pests and diseases.
THE NEW HORIZON IN AGRICULTURE IS BIOLOGICALS
Biologicals are one of the key drivers of the current evolution in sustainable agriculture and continues to be a rapidly growing market.
Agricultural biologicals are a diverse group of products derived from naturally occurring microorganisms and biochemicals that provide solutions as biopesticides and biostimulants.
Pebble Labs is focused on microbial biopesticides targeting diseases and pests in food production.
Directed Biotics™ - unlocking the potential of biologicals
Pebble Labs is focused on developing microbial biopesticides by precision engineering microbes to deliver RNA molecules that target the most challenging pests and diseases. This next generation of microbial biopesticides, called Directed Biotics™, continuously deliver the powerful and highly specific mode of action of RNAi directly in the targeted tissues of the crop, maximizing efficacy while maintaining the other benefits of microbial pesticides.
Biopesticides and Plant Biostimulants
Biopesticides protect plants from pests and diseases with fewer environmental impacts and reduced chemical residues. Plant biostimulants act to stimulate natural processes to enhance nutrient uptake, nutrient efficiency, tolerance to abiotic stress, and crop quality.
Growers have increasingly adopted biopesticides and biostimulants in integrated crop management systems because they are compatible with other crop inputs and because they sustainably increase and protect yields while reducing dependence on synthetic chemical pesticides.
Biopesticides typically have modes of action that are different from synthetic pesticides, meaning that they have the potential to keep resistance at bay and extend the effective life of all plant protection products. Biopesticides also typically have highly specific modes of action that result in fewer impacts on beneficial insects and a strong safety profile for agricultural workers and consumers.
