SPIN-OFFS
BIOTALITY
Biotality creates and develops effective, safe, and sustainable crop protection products that are targeted to the organic and “green” crop protection markets.
Biotality's initial technology is a proprietary organism that overproduces an exudate shown to be highly fungicidal.
Application of this product is as a seed protectant and/or post harvest drench, addressing the lack of commercial organic options to effectively control devastating seed-borne and seedling diseases in field crops as well as post harvest losses on fruit.
Biotality has patent rights for the production of the organism as well as extraction and purification of the exudate
EDISON AGROSCIENCES

SOILMETRIX
Rx Maker develops crops, soils, and weather algorithms that will be used to create new data layers.
SoilMetrix's new data layers will be used to drive selection of crops, crop varieties, fertilizer nutrients, soil amendments, and biological products as well as their respective application rates to agricultural production fields.
SoilMetrix intends to leverage the large scale production of spatially precise, accurate, new data layers in several ways including
the sale of digital maps to individual farmers and their crop advisors
driving the variable rate prescriptions generated by SoilMetrix for farmers on behalf of input supply companies,
licensing the soil mapping technology to large ag companies or governments to create high quality soils maps for areas outside of the US.
