Peptech Biosciences Limited Obtains Technology Transfer from NBAIR Regarding Bt-based Pesticide Technology
Peptech Biosciences Acquires Eco-Friendly Biopesticide Technology
Peptech Biosciences, a rapidly growing B2B agri-biotech company, has made a significant stride in the field of sustainable agriculture. The company has acquired technology from the National Bureau of Agricultural Insect Resources (NBAIR) for the production of a Liquid Formulation of Bacillus thuringiensis biopesticide.
This microbe serves as a bio-pesticide with high toxicity against several Lepidopteran pests, such as H. armigera, P. xylostella, Chilo partellus, Sesamia inferens, Leucinodes orbonalis, affecting pulses, vegetables, and oilseeds. The new liquid formulation is suitable for diverse agricultural environments, except temperate regions.
Peptech Biosciences specializes in research-driven crop solutions and offers a diverse portfolio including Bio-Fertilizers, Bio-Stimulants, Bio-Pesticides, and Plant Growth Regulators solutions. Their bio-pesticide range includes Beauveria bassiana and Azadirachtin, in addition to the new Bacillus thuringiensis biopesticide.
The company's manufacturing facilities are state-of-the-art and fully mechanized, ensuring the production of high-quality, eco-friendly products. Peptech Biosciences has over 250 product registrations under CIBRC, 50 under FCO, and 18 potential state permissions, demonstrating their commitment to delivering effective solutions to the agricultural industry.
Field trials conducted by NBAIR have demonstrated the efficacy of this technology in reducing pod damage in pigeon pea and increasing grain yield. The technology is environmentally safe and serves as a sustainable alternative to chemical pesticides, aligning with Peptech Biosciences' commitment to developing sustainable solutions for Indian agriculture.
Peptech Biosciences partners with medium- and large-sized agricultural brands, providing them with a range of bio-fungicides, including Trichoderma viride, Trichoderma harzianum, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Bacillus subtilis. Suresh Singla, the Director at Peptech Biosciences Ltd., leads the company in its mission to revolutionize the agricultural industry with innovative, sustainable solutions.
In 2017-2018, the company M/s Metahelix Life Sciences Ltd. acquired the technology for developing an eco-friendly "Liquid Formulation" of Bacillus thuringiensis biopesticides from NBAIR, India. This acquisition marks a significant step forward in Peptech Biosciences' mission to provide sustainable, effective solutions to the agricultural industry.
