Thank you @TheYieldLab for a wonderful #AgFest2021 ! We're grateful we had the opportunity to participate in this event!

The first corn for our 2021 field trial season has been planted!

Catch Lepidext at #AGRIForum on Dec. 3 to hear about results from our trials controlling corn earworm/cotton bollworm in corn and cotton fields this summer, and what we have coming up! #agtech @AGRIForums

Interesting story on NPR about the struggle to protect the Bt crops against growing insect resistance and its impact on farmers As Biotech Crops Lose Their Power, Scientists Push For New Restrictions npr.org/2020/10/29/927…

This cooler full of moths is ready to travel to TN for the next stage in our field trials!

Yesterday was a very special day for Lepidext--the first live insect release for our field trials! Thank you to everyone who put in the hard work to make this possible, & to our partners who share our vision of a safe, effective, and ecological alternative for insect control!

We had a great visit this week to the cotton and hemp plots in Ripley TN where we're conducting field trials. We appreciate our amazing farmer partners who are making this possible!

Yesterday we set up the first traps for our Summer 2020 field trials!

Come hear about our revolutionary tech to control the #cornearworm/#cottonbollworm! We’re having a conversation at the @AgLaunch startup station in the Memphis Convention center. Show starts at 11:00AM and we’re on at 11:30. See you there!

Agtech startup @lepidext is working to bring a new solution for corn ear worm pressures.... releasing moths to produce sterile pests @AgLaunch

The Memphis Agricultural Club was founded in 1926, and today Dr. Bruce Webb was bringing the #insectpestcontrolrevolution to its members at @Agricenter_Intl

Great writeup in the @DailyMemphian about how Lepidext will bring the #insectpestcontrolrevolution to the @farmandginshow demo day! Five agtech companies to showcase innovative technologies at demo day - The Daily Memphian dailymemphian.com/section/busine…

Dr. Webb visited the @CottonMuseum and spotted a familiar pest! #Helicoverpazea #cottonbollworm #cornearworm #insectpestcontrolrevolution

Fascinating article about how introducing Bt traits in corn can reduce their effectiveness in cotton. Clearly, over-reliance on a small handful of insecticidal genes is not a sufficient strategy for long-term insect pest control. farmprogress.com/cotton/beltwid…

Row Crop Challenge startups are in Memphis! Only a few hours into the first day and we're supper excited about the next six weeks. Good to have @Nexyst360 @Sigma0US @ContinuumAgLLC @nori and @lepidext in Memphis
