Nihon Nohyaku Co., Ltd. and Boost Biomes Inc. announced a joint development agreement to develop novel bio-insecticides. Chemical products have been fairly successful at controlling insect pests, and NICHINO in particular has a historic role in the industry due to new product development. However, biological alternatives to chemical products are an essential market need.

NICHINO is now taking a leading role in the industry by working to develop biological alternatives to chemical products. Under the joint development program, NICHINO and Boost will combine their expertise to develop a novel bio-insecticide. Boost's proprietary technology platform identifies interactions between microbes, which the company uses to assemble novel, effective and reliable multi-microbial products.

The companies share a vision of delivering transformative bio-insecticides that promote sustainable agriculture practices worldwide.
