Peptide biopesticides for precision pest control in agriculture

SOLASTA Bio is a biotechnology company developing nature-inspired peptide insect control agents as sustainable alternatives to synthetic chemical pesticides.

Its discovery platform identifies and optimises neuropeptide-based compounds that selectively target pest insects via a novel mode of action, while remaining non-toxic to pollinators, wildlife, and humans.

Lead products have demonstrated efficacy comparable to commercial chemical standards across field trials in the UK, Europe, and the United States.
