The Nematology Department at Telluris Biotech is dedicated to discovering, developing, and patenting novel peptides and true nematicides based on novel flavonoid derivatives that specifically target plant-parasitic nematodes. Our scientists conduct in-depth studies of nematode biology to identify critical choke points in their life cycle, isolate molecules that disrupt their growth, and formulate them into effective solutions in the laboratory.
These formulations undergo extensive laboratory and field evaluations to assess both their preventive and curative efficacy before being patented. Telluris’ nematicide solutions are organic, user-friendly, and environmentally safe, offering sustainable protection for crops while maintaining soil health.
Similar to the nematology department, the entomology department at Telluris focuses on the discovery and development of eco-friendly solutions for various insect and pest problems in agriculture.
The entomological research involves the collecting and mass culturing of insects/pests, studying their biological cycles, developing peptides that affect them and testing the final product on healthy insect culture to determine baseline toxicity doses.
Fungi cause extensive crop damage through diseases. Our state-of-the-art labs at Telluris are exploring different ways to biologically control fungi growth through the use of several natural peptide molecules. This peptide exploration to mitigate fungal diseases in crops is set to deliver promising results soon.
We also develop eco-friendly pest-resistant seeds through seed coating. The eco-friendly materials used by Telluris ensure better germination and root development while protecting from insects, pests and specifically nematodes.
Our crop protection and nutrition products have made a significant impact on crop productivity and resilience across the globe. Here are a few testimonials from farmers whose lives have transformed for the better with Telluris.
