FortePhest Overview
FortePhest is a biotechnology start-up developing a technology to combat herbicideresistant weeds. FortePhest is developing H-Forte, a herbicide leveraging a recently discovered mechanism of action.

H-Forte is intended to control resistant weeds by disrupting the structure of their proteins.
