AgBiome Secures Patent Protection for New Connate Product Line

AgBiome, a leader in developing innovative products from the Earth’s microbial communities, announced a recent patent directed toward the Connate product line granted in the U.S., further strengthening AgBiome’s IP Protection around novel product offerings. Connate products, currently in development, have the same biological component such as Howler fungicide with the addition of a synthetic chemistry. Connate products aim to meet the grower demands for effective products while reducing the amount of chemical residues on the plant.

“Microbiomes hold the solutions to many problems facing agriculture and food production. AgBiome has addressed these issues by assembling an extensive, continuously growing microbial collection, data science infrastructure, and screening platform, GENESIS, from which we discover and develop our innovative crop protection biological products,” said Eric Ward, co-founder of AgBiome. “This most recent patent toward the Connate product line reinforces AgBiome’s focus on harnessing the power of the plant microbiome to create new, efficacious products.”
