Crop damage begins with an insect’s decision to land.

Learn

pZero is a global scientific effort to turn insect behavior into training data. Our models learn which kinds of compounds are most likely to change an insect’s decision to land on crops.

M Zero’s reference network. pZero partnerships are being developed.

Insect behavior data to crop protection.

Draft goal 01 ·

Run 50,000 behavior-rich assays a month and share results within 24 hours of each run.

Draft goal 02 ·

Predict how at least 75% of new compounds change insect landing behavior on crops.

Draft goal 03 ·

Scale up three formulations that reduce crop damage by changing an insect’s decision to land.

Insect behavior data → training data → compounds that change an insect’s decision
