Biotalys Named Sustainable Crop Protection Company of the Year

AgTech Breakthrough Awards Recognize Biotalys for Its Biocontrol Innovations to Sustainably Protect Crops from Pests and Disease

Ghent, BELGIUM – August 21, 2024, 07:00 CEST – Biotalys (Euronext – BTLS), an Agricultural Technology (AgTech) company developing protein-based biocontrol solutions for crop protection, today announced that it was named “Sustainable Crop Protection Company of the Year” by AgTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global agricultural and food technology markets. 

Biotalys was recognized by AgTech Breakthrough for its development of biocontrols to fight off crop pests and diseases by biodegradable proteins that offer the needed efficacy for growers. In field trials, the company’s first biofungicide EVOCA™ effectively inhibited the growth of Botrytis fruit rot and powdery mildew as part of a spray rotation program – performing as a true replacer for existing chemical-based crop protection products to combat fungal diseases in grapevines. The product candidate also shows promising results in other high-value fruits and vegetables, such as strawberries and cucumbers.
