Working with nature to create a greener future, Fortiphyte Inc is organized around development and use of technolog(ies) designed to protect crops from disease and reduces fungicide use. Protecting plants from disease improves the yield, quality and reliability of harvests to benefit growers and consumers. Using less fungicide means less residue in food and reduces the chance of exposure of farm workers and nearby communities. Reducing the need for agricultural chemicals means less runoff into waterways as well as a lower environmental footprint for the production, distribution and application of agrichemicals. The firm works on identifying naturally occurring plant disease resistance traits for use in the development of disease-resistant crops - able to develop solutions for any crop and for most pathogens including bacteria, fungi, viruses, oomycetes and nematodes.
