Toothpick

About this project

The project develops, registers, and scales a fungal bioherbicide (based on Fusarium oxysporum) that specifically targets Striga weeds, is safe to crops, and can increase yields by 40-60 %. It works via partnerships with research institutions, governments, NGOs, and farmers, with local inoculum production, last-mile delivery, regulatory approvals, and commercial distribution.
