Harpe Bioherbicide Solutions secures US$3 million in financing round
Harpe Bioherbicide Solutions, Inc., a pre-commercial stage agricultural technology company focused on providing natural and sustainable herbicide solutions, announced that it has closed more than $3 million in financing. This was led by Alexandria Venture Investments and iSelect Fund Management, with a follow-on investment from AgriTech Capital and support from agricultural industry angel investors.
The funding provides Harpe Bioherbicide Solutions, based in North Carolina, the resources to further advance research and development and strengthen its intellectual property portfolio that is established on a series of plant-based herbicidal active compounds.
Through wide spectrum control of broadleaf and grass seeds or weeds, the platform of Harpe products will deliver new opportunities for organic agriculture through a series of all natural herbicide formulations for pre, post and desiccation use patterns. In addition, a series of tailored Harpe pre and tank mix formulations will improve control of tough-to-kill weeds, including those resistant to current synthetic chemistries, facilitating the reduction, replacement, and synergy with synthetic herbicides used in row and specialty crop, commercial and consumer markets.
“Existe una increíble necesidad de introducir nuevas alternativas de herbicidas más sostenibles. Esta necesidad se ve alimentada por el gran número de herbicidas sintéticos que se enfrentan a una mayor resistencia a las malas hierbas y se intensifica por la falta de productos con nuevos modos de acción que puedan satisfacer las necesidades de los agricultores y los consumidores”, dijo el director ejecutivo Bill Buckner. “Los retos a los que se enfrenta la agricultura van mucho más allá del campo, ya que los consumidores exigen más transparencia en la producción de alimentos. Además, los órganos de gobierno siguen restringiendo el uso de pesticidas sintéticos, al tiempo que aumentan la presión sobre los agricultores para que produzcan alimentos de alta calidad sin afectar negativamente al suelo, a las vías fluviales y a sus entornos vecinos”.
