Transfer of Two Next-Gen Agricultural Bio-Solutions under the 'Transforming Deep Science Discoveries into Impactful Innovations for India' Initiative

India-based Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms (C-CAMP) has transferred two novel bioactive non-chemical solutions, AphidControl and XanthoControl, to PI Industries Ltd. The technology transfer is part of the ‘Transforming Deep Science Discoveries into Impactful Innovations for India’ initiative under the Discovery to Innovation Accelerator (DIA) programme. These 100% biological alternatives to synthetic pesticides will support sustainable agriculture by combating pests and diseases that contribute to significant crop loss in India, estimated at 10-35% annually. AphidControl and XanthoControl represent critical advancements in sustainable agriculture by providing eco-friendly alternatives to chemical pesticides.
