Scalable Fungal Biopesticides Manufacturing with Mycotec®

In the rapidly evolving landscape of biological crop protection, one key obstacle continues to block promising innovations from reaching the field: scalable production. Our recent article on AgroPages explores how Evologic Technologies is overcoming this barrier through our Mycotec® platform, setting a new benchmark in conidial biopesticide manufacturing.

Fungal biopesticides such as Beauveria, Trichoderma, and Lecanicillium offer highly targeted pest control solutions that align with modern agriculture’s goals—efficacy, safety, and sustainability. However, traditional production methods like solid-state fermentation (SSF) have proven unreliable, difficult to scale, and cost-intensive. These issues have prevented many promising fungal strains from making it past the lab.

Evologic’s Mycotec® platform introduces a scalable, aseptic manufacturing process based on a sterile biopolymer carrier and precision-controlled bioreactors. This system enables consistent, high-yield fungal growth with reduced contamination risks and superior reproducibility. It delivers spore concentrations more than eight times higher than those achieved through SSF, while also improving flexibility in downstream formulation.

What makes this breakthrough truly impactful is its potential to unlock a wide variety of fungal organisms that were previously shelved due to poor scalability. By closing the gap between discovery and deployment, Mycotec® empowers biocontrol developers to focus on field efficacy and registration—rather than struggling with production limitations.

As the demand for sustainable, bio-based crop protection grows, scalable production of fungal biopesticides is no longer optional—it’s essential. Evologic is proud to be leading the way in making these powerful tools accessible, effective, and commercially viable.
