About CelluDot 

Founded in January of 2020, CelluDot was established to commercialize an IP-protected bio-encapsulation technology.

Tackling Drift: A Multi $B Agricultural Opportunity

Every year, off-target movement and chemical volatilization cost American farmers over $500 million. Herbicide drift triggers massive yield losses exceeding 25% in vital soybean, cotton, and corn fields. Fine spray droplets make the problem worse, turning every application into a risk.

Most adjuvants fall short in addressing both vapor and particle drift, leading to costly crop loss, legal risks, and regulatory penalties. On top of that, chemical incompatibilities during tank mixing further disrupt farm operations.

There is an All-in-One Solution

CelluDot directly targets these pain points, helping farmers protect their investments and operate with confidence.

We offer an ingredient that combines the benefits of: Drift Reducing Agent (DRA), Volatility Reducing Agent (VRA), Rainfastness Agent (RFA), and more—all in a single jug.

Together, Transforming Crop Protection

CelluDot is committed to solving real-world agricultural challenges with science-backed, data-driven innovation. Our pioneering bio-based ingredient is the first step in a broader mission to transform crop protection through advanced encapsulation technologies.

By collaborating with farmers, ag extension services, commercial partners, and industry leaders, we’re building a future where precision, sustainability, and performance go hand in hand.
