Our Solutions for Nematode Control

Ginkgo’s R&D services support your product development to enable your market entry, growth, and strategic goals.

Expand Your Portfolio

Launch new disease control products using Ginkgo as your R&D engine.

Your Starting Point

The nematode(s) you want your next product to target

What We Offer: Product co-development from lab to field

  • The process starts by nominating candidates from our strain collection that match your specifications.
  • We screen these candidates through our validated in vitro and in planta assays.
  • For top candidates, we develop and optimize the scale-up process in parallel with developing a prototype formulation.
  • We help partners advance to commercialization with field trial design support and material generation.

Why Ginkgo

Our team begins with the end in mind. We know that nematode control biologicals must be grower-friendly: shelf-stable, easy to use, and price-competitive.

Optimize Product Performance

Improve efficacy of your existing products or lead candidates

Your Starting Point

Your bionematicide product or your lead candidates

What We Offer: Optimization approaches tailored to your manufacturing and regulatory constraints

  • You tell us the biochemical target you want to optimize for and your target optimization metric.
  • From there, we embark on one of two paths: media optimization or strain optimization.

Why Ginkgo

Our team applies high and ultra-high-throughput methods to media optimization and non-GM strain optimization. Optimize your product’s performance, quickly.

Drive Down COGS

Access new markets through processes and inputs tailored to your manufacturing constraints

Your Starting Point

Your bionematicide product or your lead candidates

What We Offer – Scale-up process optimization

  • You tell us the biochemical target that drives your product’s nematode control activity as well as your manufacturing constraints.
  • We start by evaluating hundreds of media combinations to find a starting point for further optimization.
  • We test multiple media parameters like temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen in parallel to find the optimal process.
  • We test the new media composition and process at scales up to 300L in our pilot plant.

Why Ginkgo

Our team has deep expertise in fermentation and formulation for gram-positive strains. Test new processes from lab to pilot scale all under one roof.

Generate Data You Can Trust

Validate lead candidates using robust in vitro and in planta screening cascades.

Your Starting Point

Your bionematicide lead candidates

What We Offer: Screening and selection

  • You tell us about the nematode(s) and crop(s) for which you want to test your lead candidates’ activity.
  • You provide samples of the candidates you want to test
  • We evaluate your lead candidates in our validated assays and share a pre-defined data package of our results

Why Ginkgo

We’ve developed and validated in vitro and in planta assays across a range of pests and crops. Rigorous science drives better biologicals.
