What we do
The way we feed our planet is changing
As the world looks toward sustainable, nutrient-rich food sources, Biotelliga is developing natural agricultural crop protection technologies that minimise environmental impacts, while maximising crop performance and yield.
Company's story
Our Specialty
Biotelliga is focussed on fungi.
Fungi are ubiquitous in their interactions with plants, including crop plants, and produce an array of active biomolecules. By focusing on the biology of these complex and important plant-interaction specialists, Biotelliga utilises biological understanding to generate high value crop protection products.
Our product development is focussed on two broad areas – sprayable pesticides developed from fungal metabolites and endophytes (plant-infecting beneficial fungi) for trait delivery (such as insect resistance) in crop plants.
ENDOPHYTES
Within the company’s competency focus on fungi, a specific aspect important to our future direction is the ability to dissect and understand fungal interactions with plants. The company is especially competent at working with fungal endophytes.
These fungi spend some or all of their lifecycle living inside plants and in some cases benefit the host plant by protection from insects or diseases, or by facilitating water or nutrient uptake. To utilise these organisms requires experience, the right tools and the right way of thinking.

Our story
Biotelliga is an Ag-Biotech company developing safe and sustainable solutions for the effective management of agricultural crop pests and diseases.
Biotelliga’s technologies aim to help increase global food production with products derived from natural biological sources.
Biotelliga’s vision is to apply the company’s expertise in fungal biology to provide global leadership in research, development and commercialisation of biological products for crop protection. This will contribute to sustainable industry practices and to safer, healthier, more plentiful food and a cleaner environment.
Biotelliga creates crop protection technologies in two distinct opportunity areas:
- Pest and disease control through foliar and soil-applied biological products for use in the conventional crop protection market (value > USD 52 billion). These may be living fungi or, more often, active biomolecules extracted from fungi or fungus-infected plants.
- Seed integrated solutions (market value > USD 15 billion) that provide crop protection from biotic and abiotic stress through active biomolecules coated onto seed, or through bioprotective organisms that are inoculated into seed.
With rising demand for biological-based crop protection products over synthetic chemistry-based pesticides, Biotelliga is in a position to secure very substantial value from its technology development in the > USD 67 billion global crop protection market.
