Corteva and Marrone Bio agree on exclusive distribution of new bionutrient in Europe

Two U.S. bioinput companies have reached an agreement to distribute a product in Europe. They are Marrone Bio Innovations and Corteva Agrisciences, the former DowDupont agricultural unit that later spun off into an independent public company. 

Under the agreement, the European subsidiary of Corteva will be the exclusive distributor in the old continent of Kinsidro® Grow, a new foliar bionutrient that supplies key compounds that result in increased plant vigor.

“Este acuerdo combina el liderazgo de Marrone Bio en el desarrollo de soluciones biológicas y sostenibles para los cultivos con el liderazgo de Corteva en el mercado mundial”, dijo Kevin Helash, director ejecutivo de Marrone Bio Innovations.

Kinsidro Grow is a patented product developed by Pro Farm Technologies, a subsidiary of Marrone Bio, that optimizes nutrient conditions in plants, resulting in improved plant health and crop quality. Through foliar application to crops during the vegetative growth phase, the bionutrient delivers improved yields and a more favorable return on investment. Kinsidro Grow is also easy to use and compatible with a grower's current agronomic practices.

“Estamos entusiasmados de trabajar con Marrone Bio para ampliar y maximizar las opciones sostenibles que ayuden a los agricultores a hacer frente a las cambiantes condiciones ambientales, manteniendo sus cultivos productivos y saludables”, dijo Susanne Wasson, Presidenta de la Plataforma de Negocio de Protección de Cultivos de Corteva Agriscience. Para Corteva, esta colaboración representa un paso en la expansión de su cartera global de productos biológicos, los que se suman a sus propios desarrollos de bioestimulantes, biofertilizantes, bionutrientes, productos de biocontrol y feromonas con un rendimiento probado y predecible.
