NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) — Agbiome, a developer of microbe-based agricultural technologies, announced today that it has struck a deal to develop crop-protection products with ag-bio giant Syngenta.
Under the multi-year deal, Syngenta will fund AgBiome's development of undisclosed plant-protection technologies for crops of interest. Specific terms of the arrangement were not disclosed.
