Omerna is developing a first in class dsRNA based anti-fungal crop protection solution.
Our solutions are targeted, non-GMO and non-toxic and can be combined with traditional fungicides for improved efficacy.
We are focusing on our first product, however, the technology can be adapted to a wide range of pathogenic fungi for field and shelf life extension.
Partner with us for tailored solutions for crop loss due to fungal pathogens.
Backed by the InNegev technological incubator, the Israeli Innovation Authority and the European EIT and working closely with leading academic and industrial partners.
Wide range of hosts.
High efficacy in commercial settings.

Controlled release
Our mission is to reduce crop loss by developing targeted dsRNA based solutions that inhibit fungal pathogens.
Our vision is to replace industry standard chemicals and reduce crop loss due to fungal pathogens. We were founded in 2023, based on technology developed by the Volcani and Weizmann Institutes.
