Moa Technology has entered a strategic partnership with Certis Belchim, marking its third major collaboration in 18 months, to develop a new Moa Amplifier molecule aimed at enhancing herbicide efficiency. Moa Amplifiers, which are non-herbicidal themselves, significantly reduce the herbicide needed, supporting sustainable farming amid global regulatory and resistance challenges.
