Pheronym is an ag-biotech company specializing in innovative pest management solutions that leverage nematode pheromone technology. Their flagship products, Nemastim™ and Pherocoat™, are designed to enhance the efficacy of beneficial nematodes in controlling agricultural pests. Nemastim™ directs the behavior of these nematodes, improving their dispersal and infectivity against target pests, while Pherocoat™ acts as a repellent to plant-parasitic nematodes by signaling that the host plant is already infected. This dual approach not only promotes effective pest control but also aligns with sustainable agricultural practices by reducing reliance on chemical pesticides.

The company is actively engaged in research and development, as evidenced by their recent patent for Pherocoat™ and ongoing peer-reviewed studies that validate the effectiveness of their products. Pheronym's commitment to eco-friendly solutions is further highlighted by their focus on biopesticides, which are safe for beneficial insects like bees. Their work addresses significant agricultural challenges, including the economic impact of plant-parasitic nematodes, which contribute to billions in crop losses annually. By promoting climate-resilient and regenerative agricultural practices, Pheronym aims to contribute to food security and environmental sustainability.

Pheronym is an Ag-biotech company that develops green solutions for agricultural pest control. Without pesticides, farmers would experience 50-80 % crop loss. Farmers have to use pesticides to feed the world and stay in business. Our technology uses nematode's own pheromones to control their behavior and development. We have a new additive that makes commercially available nematodes more effective bio-pesticides for insect control.
