Telluris Biotech India Private Limited focuses on addressing critical challenges in the agricultural and food processing sectors by developing innovative solutions to combat plant parasitic pathogens, particularly the root knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita. This nematode contributes significantly to global crop losses, estimated at $167 billion annually, with India facing losses of approximately Rs. 21,068.73 million. The company's research has yielded proof of concept for four distinct products, and they are currently gathering field trial data to support product registration. Telluris Biotech aims to create environmentally sensitive biological control products, including novel nematicides and eco-friendly plant growth promoters, which are designed to enhance crop protection and productivity while preserving biodiversity. By focusing on integrated pest management strategies, the company seeks to mitigate the severe impact of root knot nematodes on various crops, including capsicum, tomato, and roses, which have experienced yield losses up to 80% in certain conditions.
