Semion

Restoring crops' ability to defend against pests

Company details

Activating plant defense mechanisms silenced during the process of domestication to develop novel pest control solutions.

In Argentina, warming temperatures have increased corn leafhopper populations and allowed them to reach new areas. During the 23/24 season, corn yields fell by 20% on average, resulting in a $2.2 billion loss. The pest is beginning to spread into the U.S.
