Biologicals in Row Crops: Building Towards a Brighter Future

Our annual survey provides a detailed look the product categories retailers plan to invest in this year.

Crop nutrients provide the blood that powers the heart of agricultural decisions each year, the seed in the ground.

From nutrient use efficiency to the explosion in biologicals, the market for additives and enhancers continues to expand for myriad reasons.

A spotlight on the environment has more growers harnessing the “4Rs” of nutrient stewardship.

According to this year’s biological survey, the category continues to gain market ground with ag retailers and growers in some sectors, not so much in others.

This segment of the biologicals market continues to generate huge opportunity for the manufacturers and distributors of plant health products.

Biopesticides not only help protect the environment they can also provide growers with an economic boost.

Following a slower than expected 2023 growing season, biofertilizer companies predict the sector will rebound in 2024.

The new program is designed to help retailers identify potential product recommendations by highlighting biologicals that have been thoroughly vetted.

Seed choice remains the most important choice growers will make heading into the 2024 planting season.

Following back-and-forth supply and pricing issues the past few years, fertilizer experts predict 2024 will be “more normal.”

Phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) are two elements that shouldn’t be forgotten when creating a fall fertility program.

Long-time special interest groups that have targeted crop protection products are now turning their attention to seed treatments.

With limited “real estate” manufacturers explore technology and novel formulations to deliver improved seed treatments.

The association is hoping to help ag retailers and growers better assess the effectiveness of biostimulants in the market.

In the latest move against treated seed, the Empire State has passed legislation prohibiting the sale of certain active ingredients in a few years’ time.
