Company Background

ABC Biosciences was founded in 2002 to pursue agriculture-based business opportunities that improve the environment and human health.

ABC identifies and develops promising technologies. The company commercializes products from these technologies through channels that will deliver the most value to consumers, producers, our partners and our shareholders.

We use a number of technology tools-both GM and non-GM-to develop our product portfolio, including precise genetic screening, advanced breeding techniques and genetic engineering. Our current areas of focus include:

Environment Health Technologies

Human Health Technologies

ABC is privately held and has its headquarters in Davis, CA,
with additional facilities in Seattle, WA, and Phoenix, AZ.

Reducing Nitrogen
Usage

ABC Biosciences has conducted field trials in five growing seasons. In each field trial, Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) canola demonstrated that it can achieve high yields using significantly less nitrogen fertilizer than conventional varieties. In the chart above, note that NUE canola yielded 2800 lb/ac using two-thirds less nitrogen fertilizer than the conventional variety needed to generate the same yield.
