Nutrien Ag Solutions Completes Acquisition of New Biocontrol Technology
Nutrien Ag Solutions has recently acquired Suncor Energy’s AgroScience assets, which consist of several patented and patent-pending technologies in the area of biocontrol. This acquisition is aligned with Nutrien Ag’s strategy to invest in novel, patented, and effective biocontrol technologies through its Loveland Products business.
New biocontrol technology for sustainable agriculture
The proprietary technology aims to offer a new mode of action, plus advantages in resistance management, for use in the global agriculture industry. This technology is expected to help accelerate Loveland Products’ efforts in delivering a broader range of solutions that aim to help maximize yields.
“We’re excited to further develop this new technology, which is expected to help accelerate Loveland Products’ efforts in delivering a broader range of solutions that aim to help maximize yields,” said Casey McDaniel, vice president of Loveland Products. “As the biocontrol market grows, we believe farmers will increasingly demand bio-based solutions that work within existing management practices to achieve bottom-line benefits in yield and efficiency and support efforts to improve sustainability.”
The new chlorin-based photosensitizer formulations are expected to launch in certain global markets by 2025. Product submissions to the EPA in the U.S. are anticipated by 2026. Nutrien Ag Solutions plans to market these products as part of the Loveland Products portfolio.
Sustainable agriculture practices for a better future
The acquisition of Suncor Energy’s AgroScience assets is a significant step forward for Nutrien Ag Solutions in its mission to provide innovative and effective solutions for the agriculture industry. With this new technology, farmers can expect to see improved yields and efficiency, while also contributing to a more sustainable future.
