Symborg and Corteva reach global distribution agreement for product that fixes nitrogen from air
U.S. firm Corteva Agriscience will be the new distributor of Spain's Symborg for a nitrogen-fixing product for both intensive and extensive crop producers.
Under this agreement, Corteva will exclusively distribute Symborg's endophytic bacteria under the brand names BlueN or Utrisha N, which optimizes the nutritional efficiency of crops.
This technology, by fixing nitrogen from the air and converting it for the plant, provides an alternative and sustainable source of the element, which reduces dependence on soil uptake and ensures a season-long supply. This nitrogen management solution can help growers maximize the yield potential of a wide range of crops, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, field and row crops, sugarcane, turf, ornamentals, and pastures, Symborg explains in a statement.
"Utrisha N exemplifies Corteva Agriscience's commitment to providing farmers with sustainable solutions that complement our conventional crop protection solutions," says Susanne Wasson, president of Corteva Agriscience's Crop Protection Business Platform. "As an alternative and supplemental nitrogen source, it is also an innovative resource for growers to help mitigate high fertilizer cost and market availability."
The expanded agreement includes exclusive distribution rights for Corteva in Central America, South America and Turkey, and expands exclusive distribution rights to include intensive markets in the United States, Canada, Brazil and Argentina. An exclusive option for Corteva to add other countries of interest, including Latin America and Asia-Pacific, is also contemplated pending regulatory approval.
According to Jesús Juárez, founding partner and CEO of Symborg, thanks to this global agreement with Corteva, Symborg's disruptive biotechnology with its innovative Methylobacterium symbioticum bacteria offers to large number of producers the possibility of optimizing the use of nitrogen in their agricultural management. “This is one of the great challenges in agriculture today, and biotechnology is certainly being part of the solution,” says.
