Each year, millions of tonnes of nitrogen fertiliser are lost to the environment, contaminating waterways and releasing potent greenhouse gases. With fertiliser prices soaring and soils under strain, the need for nature-based nitrogen solutions has never been more urgent.
At FA Bio, the ability to scale microbial candidates from early-stage research to field-ready solutions is central to discovering products that meet the needs of growers while supporting natural ecosystems. A key part of this journey is our bioreactor.
Harpenden, UK — FA Bio, a pioneer in microbial solutions for regenerative agriculture, today announced a sponsored proof-of-concept (PoC) with Bayer’s Crop Science division, co-sponsored by EIT Food, to advance fungal bioinsecticides targeting Cabbage Stem Flea Beetle (CSFB) in oilseed rape (OSR). The collaboration validates FA Bio’s discovery platform with one of the world’s largest agriculture innovators to support the discovery of nature-based regenerative alternatives to conventional pesticides.
