Source Agriculture Corp., a leader in agri-tech investments, has announced a strategic investment in Ascribe Bioscience, an innovative company focused on developing sustainable crop protection solutions. This partnership underscores Source Agriculture’s commitment to advancing environmentally responsible and high-tech farming practices globally.

Empowering Farmers with Sustainable Solutions

Founded in 2017, Ascribe Bioscience is dedicated to discovering natural products derived from the soil microbiome, enabling farmers to adopt more reliable, affordable, and eco-friendly agricultural practices.

The company’s flagship product, Phytalix®, is transforming crop protection by acting like a vaccine for plants. By priming plants’ natural defense systems against pathogens, Phytalix® offers a groundbreaking approach to disease control. The product, derived from naturally occurring molecules produced by soil organisms, has demonstrated exceptional efficacy across various crops, including corn, wheat, soy, rice, potatoes, and tomatoes.

What Makes Phytalix® Stand Out?

•Non-Toxic and Biodegradable: Phytalix® is environmentally friendly, offering a safe alternative to chemical pesticides.

•Cost-Effective: With minimal active ingredient requirements, it significantly reduces crop protection costs.

•Versatile Application: Available as a seed treatment or foliar spray, it fits seamlessly into existing farming practices.

•Non-GMO: It aligns with global demand for sustainable and non-genetically modified solutions.

By triggering the plant’s immune system, Phytalix® enables crops to respond more rapidly to stressors such as pathogens, enhancing overall resilience and productivity.

The Technology Behind the Innovation

Ascribe Bioscience’s proprietary platform leverages advanced metabolomics to unlock the potential of the soil microbiome. This cutting-edge discovery process identifies small molecules that boost plant health and productivity. Unlike traditional live microbes or complex mixtures, Ascribe’s biobased products are shelf-stable, durable, and reliable under diverse field conditions, making them practical and effective for modern agriculture.

A Vision for Sustainable Agriculture

“We believe that Ascribe Bioscience’s approach represents the future of sustainable crop protection,” said Aman Gill, President and CEO of Source Agriculture Corp. “Their innovative platform and commitment to natural, effective solutions align perfectly with Source Agriculture’s mission to support technologies that not only improve farming productivity but also contribute to environmental sustainability. Our investment in Ascribe is a testament to our confidence in their ability to deliver impactful, science-driven solutions for farmers around the world.”

Transforming the Future of Farming

This strategic investment reinforces Source Agriculture’s dedication to building a portfolio of companies driving sustainable innovation in agriculture. With Phytalix® and Ascribe Bioscience’s pioneering platform, the collaboration is set to revolutionize how the global agricultural industry addresses crop protection and environmental stewardship.

Ascribe’s innovative solutions not only provide an effective alternative to toxic chemicals but also make sustainable farming practices more accessible and reliable. This partnership marks a significant step towards transforming global agriculture into a more sustainable and eco-friendly industry.
