CroBio

CroBio is an agricultural biotechnology company developing living microbial soil amendments to improve crop drought resilience.

Its microorganisms use plant root exudates to produce bacterial cellulose, creating a water-retentive matrix around roots that can also help retain nutrients.

The technology is progressing from greenhouse studies into agricultural field trials, including work on a non-genetically modified microbial formulation. CroBio is developing these biological treatments to improve soil water management and crop resilience.
