About
Pheronym is an ag-biotech company that develops nematode pheromone-based biopesticides for sustainable agricultural pest control. Founded by Dr. Fatma Kaplan, the company's technology uses pheromones to direct beneficial nematodes (microscopic worms) to target plant-parasitic nematodes and soil pests, replacing or reducing chemical pesticide use. Without effective pest control, farmers face 50-80% crop loss; Pheronym's eco-friendly approach provides a green alternative that protects yield while preserving soil health. The company is based in Davis, California, with research roots at UC Davis.
