Technologies and Products That Benefit Agriculture
Plant Health Care offers biologically based products to improve the health, vigor, and yield of major field crops such as corn, soybeans, cotton, rice, and tobacco, as well as specialty crops such as fruits, vegetables and citrus.
Many of these products feature the Harp-N-Tek™ technology that uses Harpin Protein to trigger growth and self-defense mechanisms within the plants, stimulating more robust plant health and fruiting, which increases yield. Another effect of Harp-N-Tek is a reduction in nematode eggs and juvenile populations among plant roots.
Plant Health Care mycorrhizal fungi products, including new field crop seed treatments now in development, restore the natural strategic partnership plants have with these fungi, which extend the roots of plants to increase nutrient uptake, and strengthen plant health.
Plant Health Care also provides a variety of specialized micronutrient formulations, soil amendments, and inoculants featuring beneficial rhizobacteria for specialty crops. Some of these fertility products include Harpin Protein to improve plant health and vigor, while others contains mycorrhizal fungi in addition to beneficial soil nutrients and microbes.
