KitoZyme has been granted approval for its KitoGreen products by the U.S. Environment Protection Agency as biopesticides for multiple applications and crops.

KitoGreen is a unique technology that has been developed by KitoZyme to offer more sustainable options for farmers who are looking for greener antibacterial, antifungal, or nematicide alternative products. KitoGreen is patented and it is based on the valorization of co-products of the food industry, as well as being 100% non-animal, non-GMO, vegan, and non-toxic for the environment.
