- Company Description
- Founded in 2012 and focused on the physiology of plant water use, Asilomar Bio has developed a pipeline of chemistry that improves crop performance. Its first commercial product contains a novel active ingredient that can 'rewire' the hydraulic architecture of the plant, improving how a plant senses, responds and uses water and nutrients from the soil.
