New product of Kintunford: Purov ® improves soil organic matter/organic carbon content
Puluowei ® is a new type of organic carbon fertilizer rich in small molecule organic nutrients produced by multiple organic matter raw materials and advanced technology, which has a significant effect of carbon supplementation and nitrogen increase, more nutrients, strong function, good effect and no risk. Its raw materials come from the white feather chicken (broiler) chicken manure of large-scale listed breeding enterprises, and the nutritional value of the feed is extremely high, the management is standardized, and the risk factors are very low. Due to the special digestive system, chicken manure is extremely rich in nutrients and has outstanding fertilizer efficiency. The product adopts EX-PLANT fully enclosed automatic ecological cycle process based on high temperature and high pressure, including rapid cracking and subcritical fluid extraction. The process is able to convert organic matter from various sources into high-quality organic carbon fertilizer rich in small molecule organic nutrients in 60 minutes, while completely passivating heavy metals, decomposing antibiotics and hormones, killing germs, insect eggs and grass seeds, and reducing the salt value by more than 90%. The final product is rich in small molecule organic nutrients (amino acids, fulvic acid, monosaccharides, etc.), long-lasting organic carbon (crude protein, humic acid, etc.) and inorganic nutrients. The functional features of the product include: carbon and nitrogen supplementation, synergistic effect; Improve the soil, take root and promote flowering, the leaves are thick and the fruits are large, and the yield and quality are increased; Small molecules are rich in nutrients, fast-acting and safer.

Zhongda pure algae juice: report on the effect of field application to promote growth and increase yield
Since the launch of "Pure Algae Juice", the core product of the marine nutrition sector in 2023, Qingdao Zhongda has been widely promoted and applied in the Chinese market, and has shown good results in a variety of cash crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, winter dates, grapes and strawberries. Pure algae juice is an innovative biostimulant derived from Australian bull algae, which can significantly improve agricultural productivity when applied in agriculture, and has the effect of promoting growth, improving soil, and enhancing plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Zhongda uses the self-developed compound brown algae lyase to degrade and extract the bull algae raw materials with a unique patented process of secondary enzymatic hydrolysis, and the seaweed extract obtained has strong stability and good compounding, and at the same time retains the bioactive substances in the raw materials, such as fucoidan oligosaccharides, auxin, cytokinin, phenolic substances, betaine, mannitol and other biostimulants.

BiOWiSH Synergistic Fertilizer: Improving fertilizer use efficiency
BiOWiSH Fertilizer Synergists are a mixture of proprietary microbial cultures that are applied to dry fertilizers or mixed with liquid fertilizers to produce synergistic fertilizers. BiOWiSH fertilizer synergists can be added to urea, monoammonium phosphate (MAP), diammonium phosphate (DAP), urea ammonium nitrate, NPK mixtures, etc. It works by creating a joint relationship between plant and soil microorganisms to improve nutrient uptake and increase yield potential. It is reported that the product can play a good role in a variety of operating conditions, climates and environments. The change in profit of BiOWiSH synergistic fertilizer on cereals was analyzed, and the change in profit of $50/acre for wheat and $58 per acre for corn was simulated using the United States 5-year (2018-2023) commodity price range ($/bushel) compared to the control group. Combined with ADM's re:generations program, which rewards farmers for climate-smart practices, wheat and corn growers may earn an additional $2 per acre.

Bayer has entered into a distribution cooperation with Elicit Plant in France to help corn resist drought stress
Bayer France and agricultural biotechnology company Elicit Plant have announced an exclusive partnership agreement whereby Bayer will distribute Best-a and EliZea, two of Elicit Plant's products used to combat drought. At a time when agricultural production is facing unprecedented climate challenges, Elicit Plant and Bayer have teamed up to improve the resilience of corn in France. From October 1, 2024, Bayer will be the exclusive distributor of Best-a and EliZea in France. The aim of this collaboration is not only to expand the use of Elicit Plant's biological solutions, but also to leverage Bayer's expertise in sustainable agriculture. The impact of this collaboration will also be assessed by increasing crop yields, improving resilience and the sustainability of agriculture.
FMC strengthens its biologics business with the establishment of a biologics team in Brazil
FMC recently announced the establishment of a biologics team in Brazil. The division will be led by Alexandre Frateschi, Formic's Plant Health Business Director for Latin America, and Leonardo Antolini, Formy's Plant Health Strategic Marketing Manager for Brazil. Frateschi has nearly three decades of experience in the agricultural business. Previously, he was Business Director at Micropep in the United States, which develops a new generation of biological solutions. He will lead FM's biologics business in Latin America and implement the company's strategic plan to expand its product portfolio in the fast-growing Brazil market. Antolini joins FMC from Brazil's agro-biologics company Agrivalle and will report directly to Frateschi. According to FMC, his experience in crop protection, biological, and nutritional solutions has been invaluable in developing the company's global biostrategy.

Guizhou University has made new progress in the research on the creation of natural vanillin pesticides
On July 23, Lou Mingshu and Academician Song Baoan, master's students of the National Key Laboratory of Green Pesticides of Guizhou University, published an academic paper in the Top Journal Engineering of Zone 1, which comprehensively summarized the innovative research on the conversion of vanillin into agrochemicals for the first time. This paper on vanillin can provide ideas and paths for researchers seeking to derive innovative ideas from natural substances. Vanillin is a natural product first extracted from vanilla in 1858 and is used in a wide range of food products, including baked goods, concandies and dairy products. Studies have shown that these derivatives may be used as novel plant immune inducers, which have the ability to regulate related disease resistance pathways and enhance plant resistance to viral infection. In addition, they may directly interact with the functional proteins of the virus, resulting in their inactivation, which in turn affects important processes in viral biology, such as replication, assembly, and motility. As a natural food additive, vanillin not only has a wide range of biological activities, easy access to raw materials, low cost of use, but also has unique safety advantages, which makes derivatives based on this substance have high prospects in the development of green pesticides.
