This nasty little pest makes life difficult for coffee growers. But now they can fight back with Crop Enhancement’s new technology.

Cavallo Ventures, the venture capital arm of Wilbur-Ellis, has invested in ZingPR client Crop Enhancement. With its investment, Cavallo Ventures aims to accelerate the development of Crop Enhancement's breakthrough crop protection technology in the United States — particularly for the production of high-value fruit and vegetable crops.

Kevin Chen, PhD, is CEO of Crop Enhancement, a venture-backed ag biotech startup based in San Jose, California. His company is introducing new methods and technologies that will reduce or eliminate the use of chemical pesticides in farming.

Crop Enhancement Inc., an innovator of sustainable agrochemicals for enhancing crop yields, has strengthened its go-to-market team with the appointment of two experienced agricultural business development executives. Crop Enhancement is gearing up for commercialization of its non-toxic crop protection technology, CropCoat®, following successful field trials with cacao growers in Indonesia.

ZingPR client Crop Enhancement has developed a new approach that will help farmers increase crop yields and profitability in a sustainable way. By developing agrochemical formulations that employ advanced and environmentally friendly chemistry, Crop Enhancement can help improve crop yields, eliminate or minimize pesticide use, and enable precise and effective delivery of active ingredients and fertilizers.
