Field tests over the last 24 months show the biostimulant promotes “healthy yet rapid early plant development, enhanced flowering, fruiting, and higher yields in a wide range of crops,” according to Beem Biologics inventor and consultant Lance Beem. The field tests were carried out through university, private research firms, and in-house studies.
The biostimulant also works well in combination with conventional crop protection products, says Neil Stapensea, Global Head, Biostimulants & Innovative Nutrition Product Management, Arysta LifeScience.
Arysta, which is owned by Platform Specialty Products, recently announced that it would make biosolutions for crop protection a “center” focus of the company.
