Our design engine is built on plant-based peptides. This versatile new class of crop protection delivers the performance of synthetics and the environmental benefits of biologicals, by design.
Synthetic Performance
Efficacy: Intentionally designed for high potency
Consistency: More reliable performance than live microbials
Cost effective: Faster peptide discovery, fraction of the cost
Biological Benefits
Nature-based: Derived from naturally occurring compounds with diverse, complex biological functions
Biodegradable: Minimal environmental impact and low off-target effects
Regulatory advantage: Faster speed to market with fewer restrictions
Via Intentional Design
Programmable: Engineered to hit specific targets across a broad spectrum of activity
Scalable: Designed for manufacturability at agricultural volumes
Structured Peptides
A New Class of Crop Protection, Built for Nature-Positive Agriculture
Our structured peptides come from nature and deliver a distinct mode of action – giving growers a powerful new tool without compromising efficacy or sustainability.
How Invaio's peptides work — fast and selective.
Each structured peptide is designed with specific features built for precise function.
Bind:
The peptide locks onto the pathogen’s cell surface.
Disrupt:
The peptide disrupts normal cellular processes.
Destabilize:
The target cell’s internal equilibrium collapses.
Eliminate:
The cell’s surface and membrane integrity fails and the pathogen dies.

Optimal Balance
The Right Balance of Performance, Durability, and Scale
Our structured peptides are engineered to hit the sweet spot conventional products can't reach.
Derived from plants and acting through membrane disruption, our structured peptides deliver rapid, irreversible fungal killing. Their mechanism of action minimizes the risk of resistance, and their natural origin simplifies regulatory approval.
Broad Spectrum, High Efficacy
Active across fungi, bacteria, and oomycetes, our peptides deliver nanomolar-range potency, far stronger than most peptide classes.
Exceptional Stability and Durability
Our peptides are engineered to stay active under real-world conditions — heat, humidity, UV exposure — so performance doesn't degrade between the lab and the field.
Scalable, Versatile Production
Produced using established fermentation, our peptides are made efficiently and cost-effectively at the quantities agriculture demands.
Proven Field Readiness
Validated in trials, our peptides deliver at or near conventional level disease control.
26%
better Botrytis disease control than biological standard – INV-022 trials in strawberries
52%
reduction of Fusarium – INV-022 trials in wheat
100%
of chemical-standard efficacy on Sclerotinia; validated across multiple independent trials in soybeans
Beating Botrytis: Peptide Performance Where It Matters Most
Botrytis, commonly known as gray mold, causes yield losses of 10–50% in grapes and berries globally. With resistance to leading fungicides rising, growers face control costs near $1 billion annually, with few effective options left as regulations tighten.
In field trials, INV-022 outperformed the leading biological standard by more than 26% in disease control in strawberries and matched the efficacy of the top two chemical rotations, with no chemical residues.
Fighting Fusarium: A Next-Generation Peptide Solution
Fusarium threatens over 1 billion acres of farmland globally, costing up to $35 billion annually — and with resistance accelerating, existing biologicals failing to deliver consistent field performance, and mycotoxin contamination posing direct risks to human health, the pipeline of effective solutions has stalled.
The same INV-022 compound validated against Botrytis delivered a 52% reduction of Fusarium in trials with wheat, demonstrating its broad-spectrum potential.
Stopping Sclerotinia: Biological Control That Matches the Chemical Standard
Sclerotinia stem rot causes significant yield losses across soybeans and a broad range of high-value crops. With growers still reliant on chemical fungicides, INV-022 delivered a compelling alternative.
In trials, INV-022 delivered statistically significant disease control against Sclerotinia in soybeans, reducing disease severity to levels approaching the chemical standard Endura® across multiple independent experiments.
