Albaugh, LLC, a provider of crop protection products and seed treatment technology, is launching a new biological seed treatment platform that includes a broad portfolio of biological seed treatments. The new BIOST biological seed treatment platform will deliver a broad portfolio of biological seed treatments that have been tested to enhance performance and grower return on investment when combined with traditional synthetic seed treatment chemistries.
After several years of product evaluation, Albaugh will launch the BIOST Biological Seed Treatment Platform for the 2017 treating season.
“We are excited about launching BIOST to the seed treatment industry as the first complete biological seed treatment platform,” says Chris Zita, Albaugh’s director of seed treatments, North America . “We are committed to delivering innovative seed treatment technology that demonstrates performance, user-friendly products priced to provide a good return on investment. The BIOST platform of biological products will be used to enhance our current portfolio of synthetic chemistries and will raise the bar in seed treatment performance for our customers.”
Chad Shelton, Albaugh’s director of global proprietary products adds: “Albaugh is committed to the sound science that helped establish this exciting new biological seed treatment platform and to help the seed industry and growers capture the benefits of biological seed treatment products. The BIOST brand is a global brand that will provide the seed treatment industry and growers with a broad portfolio of biological products that have been selected and tested by Albaugh based on field performance and grower return on investment.”
The goal three years ago was to identify a wide array of biological seed treatment active ingredients and bring them under one umbrella brand for our customers to access and supply to the market, explains Jay Stroh, Albaugh’s biological seed treatment lead/key account manager. He says the BIOST biological seed treatment platform is the result of this vision to help simplify the access to and selection of high-performing biological seed treatment products.
