Abiotic stress management products now available from Acadian Plant Health

Acadian Plant Health, a biostimulant technologies provider, has released its Abiotic Stress Management (ASM) portfolio. The advancement moves the industry beyond currently available biostimulants.

Proven to reliably enhance plant growth and stress tolerance, the ASM portfolio helps crops combat abiotic stress, the leading cause of yield loss, according to the release.

The US Department of Agriculture estimates that 90% of crop losses are related to extreme weather, lowering annual farmer income by a staggering $170 billion. As farmers confront severe weather, flooding and drought, the ASM portfolio of biostimulant technologies is a powerful solution to help manage escalating risk and ensure crops thrive, according to the release.

“Abiotic stress has often been underestimated in its impact, but our Abiotic Stress Management portfolio is changing that,” Nelson Gibson, Acadian’s president, said in a news release. “With its unmatched reliability and efficacy, this portfolio sets a new benchmark in biostimulants.”

ASM combines the most effective biological compounds that feature actives specifically formulated to target and counter key crop stressors. Created by a team of biological crop input experts, the technology seamlessly integrates into a farmer’s toolbox for optimal efficiency. ASM has undergone rigorous field trials to ensure consistent performance, according to the release.

“The future of farming depends on how effectively we can equip farmers to manage abiotic stress,” Gibson said in the release. “This will strengthen the resilience of our food system. It empowers farmers to achieve greater economic well-being now and in the years to come.”

With the introduction of ASM, Acadian Plant Health works to advance climate-smart, resilient, and regenerative agriculture through science-backed biostimulant crop inputs, according to the release.

Based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Acadian Plant Health is a global supplier of biostimulants and dedicated to providing sustainable, science-based biological solutions for specialty and broad-acre crops.
