GreenLight Biosciences (the Company or GreenLight Bio), a pioneering agricultural biotechnology company, today announced a significant breakthrough in its bioherbicide development pipeline.

In greenhouse and field trials, the Company has demonstrated consistent, effective herbicidal activity. This advancement confirms that RNA technology can effectively control hard-to-kill weeds and can be paired with conventional herbicides to enhance efficacy while reducing overall toxicity, herbicide load, and farmer costs.

This integrated strategy enables farmers to seamlessly adopt RNA-based solutions into their existing weed management systems without disrupting their current practices. It offers a sustainable, cost-effective alternative that supports crop health while addressing long-standing resistance challenges.

Over time, GreenLight Bio aims to develop a diverse portfolio of standalone RNA-based herbicides tailored for both row crops and specialty crops. These solutions will be designed to target a broad range of problematic weed species with precision, further reduce environmental impact, and overcome resistance issues commonly seen with conventional pesticides.

This breakthrough underscores GreenLight’s continued leadership in developing RNA-based agricultural technologies that contribute to a more sustainable, resilient, and productive global food system.
