Biological Control for a Better Harvest
At BG Biologics, we’re advancing solutions to a long-standing and costly threat in controlled-environment agriculture: Pythium root rot. Our proprietary technology, PythiumX, targets and kills Pythium directly in hydroponic systems, offering growers a potential breakthrough in managing this devastating, growth-ending pathogen.
PythiumX: Solving Root Rot at the Source
Why does it matter?
Because Pythium doesn't just threaten leafy greens—it shuts down greenhouses, displaces jobs, and drives up costs for fresh, healthy food. We’re here to change that. Developed by a team with deep research and agricultural roots, PythiumX is built on a ‘hunt-and-kill’ approach that works preventatively, safeguarding hydroponic systems before crops and businesses are lost.
Pythium root rot is a global, multi-billion dollar challenge that affects anything leafy - lettuce, herbs, and much more. BG Biologics is looking to change that with PythiumX.
Why We’re Solving Hydroponic Root Rot
BG Biologics was founded in response to the ongoing losses hydroponic growers face from recurring Pythium outbreaks that current tools can’t reliably prevent.
