Envu, an industry provider of professional and specialty solutions, formed a new partnership with BioConsortia, a manufacturer of microbial crop solutions, to evaluate and develop biological solutions for non-crop applications in the environmental science industry.
In the 2024 season, Envu tested advanced biological candidates from BioConsortia’s pipeline, and they yielded promising results, according to the company. Building on this, the partnership will move forward with select candidates in 2025 while continuing to explore additional technologies in the development pipeline.
“Biological solutions are a critical part of our sustainability commitment to nature-positive innovation,” said Bernard Jacqmin, head of global innovation for Envu. “Through our work with BioConsortia, we hope to enhance our portfolio with forward-thinking innovations that complement existing modes of action. For our customers, this means an expanded range of sustainable solutions to help them meet their toughest challenges.”
BioConsortia uses its patented Advanced Microbial Selection (AMS) process and GenePro platform, along with advanced genomics techniques, for the discovery, design and selection of microbes. These technologies enable the company to effectively predict and harness the natural power of microbes. Envu is leveraging its proven track record in technology development and commercialization in the environmental science space, as well as, its global reach and deep understanding of regulatory landscapes and customer needs to accelerate the adoption of biological solutions in environmental science markets.
“For BioConsortia, this is an exciting opportunity to demonstrate our dedication to biocontrol innovation and bring our cutting-edge technologies into new markets,” said Dr. Hong Zhu, senior vice president of research and development for BioConsortia. “The expertise found at Envu in non-crop sectors, like professional pest management and turf and ornamentals, makes them the perfect partner to help us accelerate market entry and scale solutions that reduce environmental impact.”
