Agragene is an agricultural biotechnology company using CRISPR-based genome engineering to build Precision-Guided Sterile Insect Technology (pgSIT), a modern evolution of the sterile insect technique that breeds insect lines producing only sterile males. Released into a field, those males mate with wild female crop pests and produce no viable offspring, giving growers season-long local pest suppression without chemical pesticides or irradiation. Founded in San Diego in 2017 and now headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, the company's first product, KNOCKOUT-SWD, targets Spotted Wing Drosophila — a pest behind more than $500M in annual US berry losses — with a limited launch stated for 2027. Agragene has no developer program and publishes no API product; its only machine-readable surface is an anonymous Wix site MCP endpoint plus a company-authored llms.txt.
