RINOTec™ Technology Emerges as a New Novel and Innovative Technology for the Management of Insects, Mites, and Nematodes
Discovered in Nature, Backed by Science, The Future of Integrated Pest Management
ProFarm Group’s mission is to be the recognized leader in sustainable biotechnology solutions for farmers of all crops and geographic regions. The need for easy-to-use, low-toxicity, high-efficacy alternatives to meet farmers’ needs is clear. RinoTec™ Technology emerges as a novel and innovative new technology for the management of insects, mites, and nematodes.
Discovered and developed by ProFarm Group scientists, RinoTec™ Technology encompasses the microorganism, optimized fermentation processes, proprietary processes, patents, and trade secrets. The novel technology is part of the IRAC non-Bt bacterial agent of unknown or uncertain MoA or “UNB” classification scheme. It shows activity against plant-parasitic nematodes, wireworms, whitefly, thrips, mites, and western corn rootworm.

Advancing Crop Protection Technology for Today’s Growers
Modern agriculture faces several environmental and socio-economic challenges. New regulatory requirements have led to the restriction of key pesticides in classes like carbamates, organophosphates, pyrethroids, and neonicotinoids. This has resulted in overreliance on remaining modes of action, accelerating resistance in pest populations.
With a dramatic slowdown in the discovery of new modes of action, growers are left with fewer tools to manage destructive pests, all while global regulatory policies and increasing consumer demand for sustainability continue to evolve.
Proven Efficacy
RinoTec™ Technology has been tested in a wide range of environments including in-vitro, lab, greenhouse, micro-plot, and field trials. Over 400 replicated field trials have been conducted across major agricultural regions in the United States, Latin America, and Europe. This five year coordinated effort has helped validate the technology’s value and fit under diverse pest populations, application methods, growing conditions, and crops.
RinoTec™ Technology was developed with an integrated program approach in mind. It can be used :
- Alone
- In a rotation
- In a tank mix.
ProFarm scientists have conducted research confirming tank mix compatibilities with commonly used crop protection and nutritional products in the market today. Since RinoTec™ Technology is biochemical in nature, it is not susceptible to negative tank mix interactions with fungicides, insecticides or fertilizers. The product has a shelf stable formulation and storage characteristics similar to other crop protection products. Additional third-party trials and in-field demonstration plots with growers continue to show RinoTec™ Technology’s ability to be used effectively, flexibly, and profitably in large-scale commercial agriculture.
