Research and Innovations
At Razbio, we are dedicated to pioneering Research & Development initiatives that aim to revolutionise crop protection whilst reducing reliance on harmful synthetic pesticides.
We are global leaders in developing cutting-edge technologies for insect pest monitoring and control in 3 key areas:
Innovative Biotech Control
We are continuously exploring new ways to tackle the challenges posed by insect pests and are committed to identifying innovative solutions and novel technologies that redefine crop protection.
Monitoring Expertise
Effective pest management begins with precise monitoring. We have developed successful advanced monitoring techniques that enable growers to proactively address pest-related issues and safeguard their crops.
Sustainable Control
A holistic approach to crop protection is essential for a sustainable agricultural future. At Razbio, our RD&I efforts are focused on developing sustainable control methods that limit environmental impact whilst ensuring crop health and productivity.
Innovations at Razbio
At Razbio, we believe in a world with safe, sustainable and healthy crops and are committed to making this a reality through our cutting-edge research and innovation.
Insect’s Lures & Repellents
Empowering growers with tools to protect their crops and public health
By leveraging biocomputational and machine learning technologies, our research team has identified innovative chemical compounds that make powerful insect repellents and attractants. Each has been rigorously tested and evaluated under field and laboratory conditions, and our lure for Western Flower Thrips has demonstrated exceptional effectiveness at commercial strawberry farms across the UK.
Automated Insect Monitoring Traps
Empowering growers with tools to protect their crops and public health
We have developed and deployed a revolutionary combination of potent insect lures and AI-equipped traps that enable accurate automated insect pest monitoring. These advanced traps represent a significant leap towards sustainable pest management, and we are currently evaluating their efficacy for Western Flower Thrips and mosquitoes in field conditions.
Biopesticides Development
Environmentally conscious alternatives to conventional insecticides
Our novel biopesticide technology enables cost-effective mass production of fungal biopesticides by reducing production cost and time. They are practical for growers and exemplify our dedication to sustainable agriculture and responsible pest management.
Agricultural Biotechnology
Our mission is to create sustainable agricultural solutions using innovative technologies that will benefit both the planet and its inhabitants in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
At Razbio, we harness biotechnology to revolutionise agriculture and usher in an environmentally responsible, technologically advanced future for the global agricultural industry.
Integrated Pest Management
Traditional pest control methods have been proven inadequate, often leading to pest resistance to chemical pesticides. We have addressed this challenge with integrated pest management solutions that combine multiple methods for holistic and sustainable pest control. This includes the integration of lures with biopesticides that offer a highly effective and environmentally effective pest management control.
Soil Management Solutions
Our dedicated team of researchers explore diverse soil treatments that will optimize crop growth. Our aim is to bolster crop yields by nurturing and revitalising soil to precisely address plant nutrient requirements and thus increase productivity.
Health Biotechnology
Our commitment to a sustainable and responsible future extends to improving public health by delivering intelligent solutions for the healthcare sector. Our initiatives aim to minimize the impact of vector-borne diseases and reduce consumer exposure to harmful pesticides.
Integrated Disease Vector Control
Actively combating disease vectors for a healthier global community
We have developed accessible and cost-effective ‘lure and kill’ strategies and smart solutions designed to contain and eradicate insects that are known carriers of vector diseases like dengue and malaria.
Pesticide-Free Agriculture
Combating overreliance on harmful chemical pesticides
We have developed bio-based, eco-friendly pest control solutions to reduce the hazards posed by chemical pesticides. By promoting pesticide-free crops, we hope to safeguard the environment and protect groundwater sources from contamination by harmful chemicals.
Elevating Organic Farming
Addressing insect pest challenges with innovative techniques for insect control
We have developed techniques to control insects that help farmers grow organic crops easily without the application of insecticides. We support farmers to transition to organic practices and successfully work alongside them to develop and test our environmentally friendly products and solutions.
Knowledge Exchange
Academic research is the backbone of invention and innovation. At Razbio, we support academic researchers and cultivate partnerships with institutions that result in successful project-based collaborations for the development of novel technologies.
Fostering Academic Collaborations
We support academic researchers and provide funding for projects led by university advisors, advancing innovation and empowering researchers worldwide.
Fostering Technology Transfer and Capacity Building
We collaborate with partners to develop and transfer cutting-edge techniques through formal agreements and provide comprehensive training to ensure the effective use of our innovations. This fosters an enduring relationship built on mutual benefit.
Empowering People through Training and Skill Development
We conduct training sessions for farmers and community workers to enhance their skills in using modern techniques. We also partner with academic institutions to improve staff expertise and ensure our novel technologies are applied effectively.
