health. In fact, many of these com
pounds are scheduled to be removed
from the market. Through this collab
oration, Divergence and NCGA hope
to offer growers new, safe approaches
to control nematodes in their crops.
“Experts estimate nematode dam
age causes reduction in corn yields of
roughly 10 percent worldwide,” said
Gary Davis, chairman, NCGA Re
search and Business Development Ac
tion Team. “We expect this research
has the potential to benefit the growers
in three ways: first, it could lead to
products for the control of
an important crop pathogen during a
time when so many control methods
are being removed from the market;
second, it has the potential to make
farming much safer, both for farmers
and their communities; and third, it
should allow growers to produce crops
more profitably.
“We are very excited to work with
Divergence,” said Davis. “Divergence
has impressive products in develop
ment and a strong research platform
to make many additional discoveries.”
Derek Rapp, chief executive officer,
Divergence, said, “The alliance be
tween NCGA and Divergence is im
portant because it has the potential to
offer com growers a safe and effective
agent to control nematodes. Working
with NCGA and its extensive base of
growers will provide Divergence im
portant links to the agricultural com
munity, ensuring the products Di
vergence develops will be beneficial to
customers.
“The combination or Di
vergence’s science and NCGA’s strong
position in agriculture will position the
two organizations to make a signifi
cant contribution to agriculture
through a successful partnership,” said
Rapp.
Divergence, Inc. is a research and
development company dedicated to
the discovery of effective and ecologi
cally sound strategies for the control of
parasites and other pests. The compa
ny’s initial focus is on parasitic nema
todes, one of the world’s major pest
groups. Nematodes are roundworms
that cause billions of dollars in damage
annually to numerous crops, including
com, soybeans, cotton, strawberries,
and bananas. Nematodes also cause
widespread disease in animals, includ
ing infections such as heartworm in
dogs and cats and intes
tinal worms in livestock. Nematode-in
duced human diseases include ele
phantiasis and African river blindness.
