Fantastic example of biocontrol at work. Aphid infested roses are being rescued by ladybugs and nymphs! #biocontrol #aphids #ladybugs #ecofriendly
Agriculture is time sensitive when it comes to setting up and executing trials. If you miss your timeline, you have to wait until next spring. The disruptions between Jan-May 2025 made the COVID 19 pandemic feel like a breeze! Here's how our resilience was tested in the past year ➡️ buff.ly/Jp2IOGy
Dr. Fatma Kaplan was a guest on the most recent episode of the "Women Innovators in Food and Farming" podcast where she chatted with award-winning journalist Amy Wu about her journey as a founder, and learning about her company's growth as it looks ahead to 2027! Listen 🎧 buff.ly/z0t7pvz
The work environment at a startup is NOT like the typical big industry where you have departments with a team of scientists and technicians accomplishing product development. The reality is much different ➡️ buff.ly/ohkWbI3 #startup #biotech #agtech #agbusiness #nematodes #pheromones
California provides 70% of the world’s almonds. 🐝🌸 Honey bees are critical for almond production and need friendly #cropprotection products. 🐝 Pheronym is developing nematode pheromones for #beefriendly sustainable crop protection solutions for farmers.
2021 to 2024 were years full of major technology and manufacturing derisking while overcoming constant COVID 19 pandemic roadblocks. Here's a deep dive into Pheronym's journey during these hectic years 👉 buff.ly/havr7bs #agtech #biotech #pestcontrol

Congratulations to these UC Davis students on being awarded the Biochemical Engineering Best Student Design Award! Their project focused on the industrial-scale production of Nemastim, developed by Pheronym. We're incredibly proud of the team for the incredible work you did!
Looking to improve crop yield? Understanding the importance of soil health is vital. Here's a look at how regenerative farming practices that nurture topsoil and its microbiome can improve crop growth 🌱 buff.ly/45rCACp #nematodes #pheromones #regenerativeagriculture
STUDY HIGHLIGHT 🌟 Multi-component trail pheromones of the entomopathogenic nematodes Steinernema diaprepesi and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora 🔗 Check out the full study 👉 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #nematodes #biocontrol #pheromones
📣🚨 The whitefly has a diverse host range that includes many economically important crops. Pheromone-enhanced beneficial nematodes increase mortality of whitefly adults by 79% and nymphs by 94%, with fewer nematodes! Check out the full study ➡️ buff.ly/WaRFQ1u

Ag's impact on climate is much more than nitrogen’s contribution. Did you know that crop protection is an underestimated contributor with a massive under-calculation of CO2e emissions? Take a look 👉 buff.ly/dEp3mbY #nematodes #CO2emissions #GHGemissions #pesticides
UC Davis Chemical Engineering senior students worked on the technoeconomic analysis of scaling up nematode pheromones for their capstone projec, presenting their findings on June 4. They learned that if we established our facility, Pheronym would be profitable within 2 years. Thanks for your work!
💚 Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay 🌎🌿🌱 Farmers need to control pests in a safe, eco-friendly way. That's where we step in.🌱 Take a look at what Pheronym is doing to help protect the food supply and the planet 👉 www.pheronym.com #climatechange #agpests #biocontrol
California provides 70% of the world’s almonds. 🐝🌸 Honey bees pollinate almond flowers making them critical for almond production. 🐝 Pheronym is developing nematode pheromones for #beefriendly sustainable #cropprotection solutions for farmers.
