BioWorks, Inc. is a supplier to the agriculture industry of biological control ("biocontrol") products that enhance plant health, plant productivity and consumer and worker safety. Utilizing intellectual properties obtained under an exclusive licensing agreement with Cornell Research Foundation ("CRF"), an affiliate of Cornell University ("Cornell"), the Company currently develops, manufactures and markets fungal based biocontrol products.

The Company’s Biocontrol business is based on the natural, non-chemical control of yield reducing fungal plant root diseases using its patented fungus, Trichoderma harzianum, strain T-22 (‘T-22’). T-22 based products replace or significantly reduce the need for chemical fungicides to control fungal root diseases. 
The Company’s flagship products, RootShield®, PlantShield®, T-22™ Planter Box and TurfShield™, are Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") registered and have quickly gained market acceptance and brand name recognition.

These products contain spores from T-22 and are introduced into the soil used for greenhouse plants and turf, or are placed directly onto the seed during planting for agricultural row and field crops. There, the beneficial microbes grow on the roots of the plant, feeding on byproducts exuded by the roots as part of the plant's normal growing process. Once the beneficial fungus has "colonized" the roots, it will challenge and kill pathogenic fungi attempting to penetrate the roots and feed upon them.
This is accomplished through a variety of mechanisms, including physical contact and secretion of numerous enzymes (proteins), like multiple forms of chitinase, which damages the invading fungal cell wall.

BioWorks, Inc. is the successor company to TGT, Inc, formed in June of 1993 by the founders of BioWorks, and is incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Company is located in Geneva, New York where it rent space for offices, two manufacturing facilities and a research facility under long-term lease agreements.
