AI Contract Overview

EcoFite is a technology licensing opportunity under solicitation S-167659, managed by the Department of Energy and Triad DOE Contractor. The technology consists of a curated microbial consortium developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory using a rational design platform. These endophytes colonize internal plant tissue to enhance nutrient uptake, stimulate growth, activate immune systems, and synchronize flowering. Currently at Technology Readiness Level 5-6, EcoFite is being validated through greenhouse and field trials on tomatoes, lettuce, and sorghum in northern New Mexico and western Texas. The formulation is patent pending, PCT filed, and compatible with organic agriculture, offering flexible delivery as either a seed coating or foliar spray. The primary objective of this opportunity is to identify partners in agricultural biotechnology, crop input systems, or sustainable farming to advance field validation and commercialization. Key goals include expanding deployment across additional crop types and geographies, scaling production for commercial volumes, and co-developing market-ready applications with integrated delivery systems. EcoFite is designed to increase crop yields and stress tolerance against drought, salinity, and temperature fluctuations while reducing reliance on chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Interested parties must respond by September 30, 2026, and can direct inquiries to [email hidden].

Full Description

EcoFite: Microbial Formulation for Resilient Crop Performance
A versatile microbial consortium that enhances plant productivity and stress tolerance across greenhouse and field applications

Technology Readiness Level 5-6
EcoFite is being validated in active greenhouse and ﬁeld trials on tomatoes, lettuce, and sorghum in northern New Mexico and western Texas.

IP Information: This technology is patent pending and PCT ﬁled.

Overview
Modern agriculture faces persistent challenges including declining soil fertility, extreme weather, and rising input costs. EcoFite is a biologically based alternative that addresses these issues using a consortium of beneﬁcial bacteria to promote plant growth, improve nutrient access, and enhance resilience to stressors like salinity and drought. Designed for ﬂexible application, EcoFite can be
delivered as a seed coating or foliar spray. Current trials include lettuce, sorghum, and tomatoes under both greenhouse and ﬁeld conditions, with promising early results across diverse crop types.

Advantages

• Enhances crop yield, stress tolerance, and growth consistency
• Reduces reliance on chemical fertilizers and pesticides
• Improves nutrient use efﬁciency beyond nitrogen-based inputs
• Increases tolerance to drought, salinity, and temperature ﬂuctuations
• Promotes healthier soil microbiomes and soil carbon sequestration
• Compatible with organic agriculture practices and application systems
• Enables growers to apply via multiple delivery methods for operational ﬂexibility and ease of use

Technology Description
EcoFite is a curated microbial consortium developed using LANL’s rational design platform for microbial communities. The selected endophytes colonize internal plant tissue and promote performance through multiple mechanisms including enhanced nutrient uptake, stimulated growth, immune system activation, accelerated/synchronized ﬂowering, and the release of plant metabolites that enrich soil microbial activity. The formulation is compatible with organic systems and can be adapted to meet crop-speciﬁc needs. Its ability to operate across soil types and plant species supports wide adoption for both conventional and regenerative agricultural systems.

Market Applications
EcoFite addresses the growing need for scalable, biologically based crop support tools. The formulation can beneﬁt:

• greenhouse growers looking to maximize space and resource efﬁciency;
• open-ﬁeld producers seeking to reduce chemical inputs and water use;
• organic farmers needing multi-pathway biostimulants compatible with certiﬁed systems; and
• seed companies and input providers aiming to expand their microbial product portfolios.
