Intelligent design for next generation insect control

The Impetus Difference

Enhancing Bt Biopesticide Performance

Our novel platform developed to enhance the performance of Bt pesticides, broadly recognized as among the safest and most widely used pesticides in agriculture. The platform enables a discovery pipeline for new biological and transgenic insect control products, that are safe, effective, and sustainable while seamlessly integrating with modern agricultural practices.

Enhances Bt  Performance

Integrates with and turbocharges existing Bt products for increased efficacy and spectrum.

Works Faster

Technology shortens the time of Bt onset, reducing the time required to control insect pests.

Targets Resistant Populations

Laboratory evidence demonstrating control of resistant insect species.

Enables Broad Application

New insect control products for growers of row crops and specialty crops.

Minimizes Environmental Impact

Technology that avoids negative effects on the environment and non-target, beneficial insect species.

The Impetus Ag platform has the potential to be a ‘printing press’ of new biological actives.

A Growing Need

Global food supply is under relentless pressure from insect pests, yet access to new insect control products remains severely restricted.

Consumers want less pesticides in their food

Global crop production lost to pests

Annual crop loss due to insect damage

New insect control solutions since 2010
