A relatively new company is focusing on biological controls using peptides to target pests while remaining safe for humans, birds, fish, pollinators and the environment.
Ben Cicora, VP Sales and Marketing with Vestaron, says they are a ventured backed startup company that focuses on creating peptides for known neuromuscular receptors in ag insecticides.
“SPEAR, which is our first, targets the same receptor as the neonics and spinosad but at a different point on that receptor,” he explains.
