Vestaron submits their first biopesticide to EPA

In Michigan, Vestaron Corporation has submitted its first biopesticide to the Biopesticide and Pollution Prevention Division of the US EPA. Their first product, a bioinsecticide derived from natural sources, is targeted at crop-destroying chewing insects. The product submission includes use on vegetables, tree fruit and nuts, vines, turf and other non-crop areas, nurseries as well by homeowners.

The biopesticide was developed from Vestaron’s library of novel natural peptides. The company recently received notification that the submission had just passed through both the Completeness Screen and Submission Readiness Team (SRT) review. This starts the clock for the legislatively mandated 16 month review.
