• Both companies cited the need to address discovery and regulatory challenges in crop protection.

Moa Technology and Certis Belchim Formalize Strategic Collaboration

Moa Technology and Certis Belchim announced a new strategic collaboration focused on the development of next-generation Moa Amplifier™ solutions for global agriculture. The partnership brings together Moa Technology’s herbicide discovery platforms with Certis Belchim’s experience in product development, regulatory approval, and global marketing of crop protection products.

Under the agreement, the two companies will co-develop a novel Moa Amplifier molecule designed to work with a specific herbicide active ingredient. The goal is to support crop protection by reducing the amount or concentration of herbicide required, while maintaining effectiveness in the field.

Moa Technology’s Discovery Platforms and Amplifier Concept

Moa Technology has disclosed more than 80 new herbicidal modes of action over the past three years using its proprietary discovery platforms. In August 2025, the company introduced Moa Amplifier molecules, a new class of non-herbicidal compounds that can enhance the performance of existing herbicides.
