AgroSpheres
AgroSpheres is developing novel, biodegradable encapsulation technologies to improve the delivery, stability and efficacy of biological-based crop protection products. It is also biomanufacturing double-stranded RNAi that silences vital genes of a target pest/pathogen, preventing off-target damage to non-harmful insects like bees and helping to promote biodiversity.

Scanit Technologies
Scanit Technologies is the creator of the SporeCam™ instrument, a wireless sensor that captures physical spores in the air, processes the spore data through machine learning and alerts growers when harmful disease spore count reaches certain benchmarks. FMC and Scanit will partner on analyzing Asian soybean rust in Brazil using the SporeCam™ instrument beginning in early 2021.
