Novel Pest Control From Nature

At BugBiome, we challenge conventional pest control by developing novel crop protection from microbes.

Our approach uncovers novel insecticides from microbes through screening insect behavioural responses to find solutions that protect crops against pests while preserving ecosystems.

We reimagine pest control by developing effective, natural crop protection without reliance on traditional chemical insecticides. Harnessing microbial discovery and phenotypic screening, we unlock nature’s defences to safeguard crops, ecosystems, and human health for a sustainable future.

Redefining Pest Control

We've developed a novel screening platform that identifies natural microbial solutions through insect behavioural understanding, enabling the development of effective and sustainable crop protection solutions.

How we unlock nature

Our advanced screening platform analyses thousands of microbes, measuring complex insect behaviours to identify the most promising candidates.

Using advanced data analytics and machine learning, we decode the precise mechanisms that make certain microbes effective pest deterrents while being safe for beneficial insects, people and the planet.

The selected microbes are optimised, scaled and formulated into stable products that farmers can easily integrate into their existing crop protection programs, providing long-lasting protection through natural mechanisms.

Key Features

High-throughput advanced insect behavioural screening of thousands of candidates

Analysis of multiple insect behaviours

Rapid identification of novel mechanisms of action

Data-driven optimization for maximum effectiveness

Sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions

Compatible with integrated pest management programs

1

Nature's Technology

Our platform identifies microbes that remain "invisible" to pests through advanced behavioural screening. While pests have evolved to detect and avoid harmful microbes through scent and visual cues, our selected strains bypass these defence mechanisms, maximising contact time and effectiveness.

2

Seamless Integration

BugBiome's microbial solutions are delivered as stable liquid formulations, compatible with standard spraying equipment available on farm. The products integrate easily into existing farming practices and can be applied alongside other crop protection products, making adoption straightforward for farmers.

Sustainable Protection

Unlike traditional pesticides that can lead to resistance, our microbes provide lasting protection by avoiding detection by pest species. This novel approach means:

Extended efficacy periods

Reduced application frequency

Lower risk of resistance development

Preservation of beneficial insects
