"Calhoun emphasizes the importance of on-farm testing, stating that with hundreds of companies investing in biologicals, not every product will deliver the same results across all environments."
"Loveland's Atlas technology is designed to stimulate biological processes that improve nutrient availability in the soil, particularly when applied as an over-treat to fertilizers like MAP and DAP."
"Products like Prologue incorporate gram-positive bacteria that can survive storage and application, remaining active in the soil for weeks to support processes such as phosphorus solubilization."
"The challenge has been translating promising results from controlled environments into consistent field performance, but ongoing advancements in formulation and delivery are helping to close that gap."
Interest in biologicals and biostimulants is increasing, with companies focusing on improving nutrient efficiency, especially for phosphorus. Loveland Products' Atlas technology enhances nutrient availability when applied to fertilizers. On-farm testing is crucial as results can vary across environments. Loveland is also developing stable microbial products like Prologue, which support phosphorus solubilization. The challenge remains in achieving consistent field performance, but advancements in formulation and delivery are addressing this issue.
