The innovators at ISCA knew there was a better way. That’s why we developed greener alternatives for agriculture with the safest pest management solutions on the planet.

By utilizing “semiochemicals” – naturally-occurring compounds (such as pheromones) that affect the behavior of insect pests – we can manipulate insect behavior in ways that deter them from destroying crops and forests. Best of all, we do it with little to no pesticides, making them a safer, environmentally-friendly solution that benefits the triple bottom line: people, planet, and profits.

With a focus on research and development, pheromone synthesis, and green technologies, our product line features more than 300 solutions for agriculture, forest and urban insect management.

Our Mission

Introducing Environmentally-friendly Pest Control for Agriculture

ISCA, Inc.’s mission is to create a healthier and enduring planet by providing the next generation of pest management solutions that are economical, effective, and ecologically friendly.

Since 1996, ISCA has been a world leader in developing environmentally-friendly pest control solutions with the goal of protecting our crops and protecting our planet. While some believe crop protection and environmental protection are mutually exclusive ideas, at ISCA, we insist they should go hand-in-hand. We purposefully design integrated pest management solutions that have minimal impact on the environment and a positive impact on public health and safety.

As consumers grow increasingly concerned about pesticides in their food and the environment, crop owners and distributors must be prepared to provide safer, non-toxic products. ISCA meets this growing demand with environmentally-friendly pest control products for agriculture that eliminate or greatly reduce the need for insecticides—making them the safest solutions available.

In late 2019, ISCA strenghtened its ability to provide environmentally-friendly pest control throughout the world through the merger of ISCA Technologies, Inc. (U.S.) and ISCA Tecnologias, Ltda. (Brazil). ISCA is poised to revolutionize agriculture by disrupting the global insect control market. By linking applied innovation, complex supply chain processes, and deep industry knowledge, we are bringing cost competitive and sustainable solutions to the agricultural marketplace. Using more than $30M in competitive federal grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Department of Defense, the National Science Foundation, the Gates Foundation, and others, ISCA has focused for over 20 years on formulation development, scaling up manufacturing processes, and understanding the market.

A wealth of innovative and ready-to-go products are now available for global use. By developing smart agriculture tools including monitoring systems, application technologies and delivery platforms for semiochemicals (including pheromones), and by using innovative synthetic chemistry, ISCA has developed a robust pipeline of products intended to provide ready to use and turn-key solutions for growers all over the world. These are solutions ready for the Farm of the Future.

With research and manufacturing facilities in California, Brazil, and India, ISCA Global has successfully scaled up chemical synthesis processes so that semiochemical-based control solutions are now cost competitive with conventional pesticides. In addition, ISCA has application and delivery platforms that have been proven and adopted by growers in over 30 countries.

ISCA is the next generation of insect control. We are an international and multicultural group with a passion for making world agriculture sustainable.
