The corn earworm is a major agricultural insect pest that costs $2 B annually in the US. Worse still, it has developed resistance to pesticides and Bt traits in crops, threatening the $12.5 B transgenic seed market. Lepidext has patented a strain of a naturally-occurring sexually transmitted virus that causes sterility in this insect. Our labor-saving and safe product has appeal both to large-scale industrial farmers focused on the bottom line, and environmentally-conscious organic consumers.
