BiOWiSH Technologies, Inc., a provider of biotechnology solutions, has announced that BiOWiSH® Crop Liquid is being used on over 5 million acres of farmland. Due in large part to key partners like SABIC Agri-Nutrients, Syngenta MAP (Modern Agricultural Program), ADM and PetroVietnam Ca Mau Fertilizer, farmers throughout the United States, China, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Indonesia, and Vietnam are achieving results with the addition of BiOWiSH products.
The company’s goal is to help farmers achieve higher production per acre in a manner that is sustainable, economical and reduces the carbon footprint of the agricultural supply chain. With an 86% win rate and 7.7% yield increase, averaged across all crops globally in independent, third-party trials, BiOWiSH has delivered solid performance across diverse crops, climates, and management practices. The bio-enhanced fertilizer arrives on-farm ready to use, eliminating the need for separate applications, fermentation, or special equipment.
BiOWiSH is a microbial fertilizer enhancement that is recommended for coating of straight urea, the world’s most-used fertilizer. Adding BiOWiSH creates a new class of Bio-Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizer (EEF) and is a simple fertility program modification for farmers looking to benefit from improved nutrient use efficiency and optimized yield potential.
Jerry and Terry Barnes of Triple B Farms Inc. are corn and soybean farmers from Columbia, MO, and had the following to say regarding their experience using BiOWiSH® Enhanced Fertilizer. “We test a number of different products on our farm and have found that bio-enhanced urea from BiOWiSH has resulted in a significant increase in root development,” said Jerry.
In addition to optimising yield potential, the BiOWiSH technology is being adopted by leading fertilizer companies worldwide as part of their Scope 3 emissions targets and initiatives.
“I was also pleased to learn that by simply using the product, we qualify for additional climate money for our farm [through ADM’s regenerations programme]. Being able to help the environment, while at the same time, boosting the profitability of our crop is a win-win,” added Barnes.
“While we pride ourselves on our agronomic-first approach of providing solutions that offer easy-to-implement benefits for the soil and for the grower to achieve higher production,” says Rod Vautier, President of BiOWiSH, “those benefits also happen to provide a means to improve upon sustainability measures.”
“We’ve seen global success in reducing nitrogen use while increasing or maintaining yield across numerous geographies,” adds Vautier. “Furthermore, optimising nutrient use efficiency (NUE) enhances agricultural productivity and helps to minimise the loss of nutrients to unproductive pathways, and also aids in reducing the carbon footprint of the agricultural supply chain.”
