EcoPhage - Israel

EcoPhage, a biotechnology company, is utilizing a revolutionary technology that utilizes viruses that attack bacteria (bacteriophages) for crop protection. This unique method enables high-speed screening and cocktail optimization, allowing for the most efficient and effective phage-based products to be used in crop protection. Farmers have been looking for reliable and eco-friendly solutions to combat bacterial diseases in crops, which spurred the search for new approaches. Bacteriophages have been known for many years as natural enemies to bacteria; however, there has not been the right technology to accurately identify the best combination of phages to combat disease, obstructing their application in agriculture. EcoPhage was founded in 2019 and is based in Ness Ziona, Israel.
