Verdesian and 3Bar Biologics form biological partnership

Verdesian Life Sciences, a firm that develops nutrient use efficiency technologies for agricultural use, has announced a partnership with the agricultural biological company 3Bar Biologics. The arrangement will allow both companies to work toward complementary solutions in both the nutrient use efficiency and biocontrols space, say company officials.

"Verdesian is excited to work alongside a company like 3Bar," said Kuide Qin, chief science officer, Verdesian, in a news release. "Philosophically, 3Bar is a tremendous fit as a partner. But even more important, they are like-minded in their search for high-quality and cost-effective solutions – something we embrace here at Verdesian."

Verdesian and 3Bar have already begun work on some joint projects that will be announced in the future, say company officials.

"Verdesian continues to be a leader in developing innovative solutions for pressing agricultural issues," said Bruce Caldwell, CEO of 3Bar Biologics, in a news release. "There is little doubt that through our combined efforts in the coming years, we will be able to offer growers all across the United States solutions that will help them do their jobs as well as possible, as well as secure their livelihoods for many years to come."
