The power of synthetics.
The safety and sustainability of biologicals.

Vestaron is leading a revolution in crop protection with new peptide technology. Our insecticides deliver powerful new modes of action to rival traditional synthetics in efficacy backed with the safety and sustainability of biologicals.

We’re providing growers with the tools they need to manage resistance, protect crop yield and quality, and increase sustainability across the agriculture and food industries.

The science behind peptide technology insecticide

The R&D team at Vestaron has identified and isolated naturally-occurring peptides (small proteins made up of amino acids) with insecticidal properties – such as those found in spider venom – for the creation of a highly-targeted and effective insecticide. These peptides are then optimized and manufactured using a natural fermentation process.

Our products break down into amino acids after use, resulting in a 4-Hour re-entry interval, 0-Day preharvest interval, and MRL exemption. They are also environmentally friendly, with reduced impacts to pollinators and beneficials, water, soil and local biodiversity.

Sustainability

We are leaders in harnessing biotechnology to enhance the sustainability value of agricultural land. Our mission is to convert more acres to sustainable pest management, reduce reliance on synthetic chemical pesticides, increase honeybee and beneficial insect populations, and bring more safe novel modes of action to the market quickly.
