SMART Pesticides
Stamets’ signature creation is called SMART pesticides, which utilizes fungi as its base.
The award-winning mycologist used his knowledge of Cordyceps, which is entomopathogenic (it causes disease in insects). These types of fungi naturally produce spores that infect, kill and repel insects.
Stamets found that if the fungi are cultured to delay sporulation, the insects would engage with the mycelium, spreading it throughout their colonies, much like how ant traps work.
This ‘Trojan Horse’ solution can replace many of the toxic insecticides currently used. Insects who eat it are turned into fungi from the inside-out.
Unlike glyphosate, this SMART pesticide system is 100% natural.
It is non-GMO, and 100% safe for people and the environment. These pesticides are created using standard tissue culturing and natural selection, similar to cross-breeding crops in the field, without any genetic engineering techniques that may cause unintended mutations or deviations.
