A Broad-spectrum Biopesticide Strain with Plant Growth Promoting Capability
The Challenge
Plant diseases can wipe out entire crops and historical plantings in a short period of time as shown by boxwood blight. Globally, these diseases pose increasing risks to food security and plant biosecurity. Current approaches to disease management depend largely on chemical protection. These approaches are not sustainable due to growing...

Enhancing Phosphate-Use Efficiency
THE CHALLENGE
Mineable Phosphorus, while essential for maintaining food security worldwide, is becoming increasingly scarce as the global population increases. Furthermore, this nonrenewable resource is inefficiently allocated in urban and agricultural areas and detrimentally impact the environment. Wastewater treatment and overfertilization lead to...

Novel Production Method of Stink Bug Pheromone
for Crop Protection
THE CHALLENGE
In integrated pest management, synthetic pheromones are often deployed in traps or with trap crops to lure insects away from commercial crops. Currently these pheromones are chemically synthesized and applied to trap crops. This form of production has limited sustainability and there are difficulties with high yield production. Therefore,...
