EcoPhage

EcoPhage's disruptive technology is using bacteriophages, viruses that attack bacteria, for crop protection. Farmers’ need for effective, environmentally friendly solutions to combat bacterial diseases in crops prompted the effort to seek additional approaches. Bacteriophages have been recognized as natural predators of bacteria for decades; yet, there has been a lack of technology for pinpointing the optimal phage combination to effectively fight disease, which inhibited acceptance for applications in agriculture. Our unique approach allows for high throughput screening and cocktail optimization to deliver the most efficient and efficacious phage-based products in crop protection.
