Preparing Nemastim to ship to our partners at the USDA so they can conduct field trials in Florida orchards. It is a great pleasure to move forward with field trails after our successful greenhouse trails which prepared us to enter the greenhouse growers market to bring the first nematode pheromone to the market.
We are excited to help Florida citrus farmers to fight the invasive Citrus Diaprepes weevil which attack’s 270 plant species including citrus, sugarcane, strawberry, potato, mahogany, ornamental plants, papaya and more.
Currently, we are raising our seed round to scale up our manufacturing.

Karl Cameron Schiller is the co-founder of Pheronym, a Davis-based agriculture biotech start-up using a new kind of pheromone from microscopic roundworms called nematodes to control agricultural pests. We asked him about his work.
How can nematode pheromones be used in agriculture?
The first use case, which is the closest to market, is called NemaStim for stimulating nematodes to disperse and kill insects. Treating beneficial nematodes with pheromones improves their effectiveness to control insect pests. Keep Reading
