Bringing On Biostimulants
Our commitment to serving growers for success includes closely monitoring new practices, technology, and products that could positively impact your operation and bottom line. Although biostimulants themselves aren’t necessarily new, their use in production agriculture has been on the rise due to their impact on yield, flexible application, and overall plant benefits.
Biostimulants help plants with creating their own hormones to help boost plant health through nitrogen efficiency, amino acid production, and external stress recovery.
As we evaluated the biostimulant products on the market as potential additions to our offering, we were drawn to Italpollina’s commitment to these quality standards:
- Proven investment in research.
- Innovative production technologies.
- Intense field trial and evaluation.
- A commitment to agricultural sustainability.
- Deep industry roots and history.
More specifically, we were interested in their biostimulant, Stimtide, and its impact on crop growth and yield.
Stimtide is a very effective liquid biostimulant with flexible application to all crops based on plant stimulating peptides obtained from 100% vegetable proteins. According to Italpollina Stimtide research, the summary of 25 trials on soybeans over 4 years shows a consistent and significant increase in yield.
To fully understand biostimulants’ potential impact, we will be closely monitoring our own Stimtide trials this crop year. Keep an eye out for follow-up data from our findings!
Stimtide Overview
- Increased protection and recovery from common stresses like temperatures, drought or stress from herbicide applications.
- Boosts plants’ natural processes like metabolism efficiency to improve crop quality and yield.
- Improves nutrient uptake and use, water-use efficiency, and the development of beneficial microorganisms for enhanced soil fertility.
