Verdesian announces Central America plant nutrition expansion

United StatesFollow
United StatesVerdesian Life Sciences has signed a commercial agreement with Agroalfa in Central America to bring the company’s patented polymer technology to farmers in Nicaragua (headquarters), Panama and Costa Rica. Agroalfa is one of the largest agricultural distributors in the region, providing products and services to growers for more than two decades in Nicaragua, and more than four decades in Costa Rica & Panama.
Agroalfa currently has 10 locations throughout Nicaragua (Chinandega, Leon, Jinotega, Juigalpa, Sebaco, Matagalpa, Malcatoya, Esteli, Managua and Rivas). Besides providing farmers with products and services, Agroalfa is heavily committed to environmental stewardship and sustainability. The Verdesian polymer technology will help them better manage environmental challenges by reducing offsite movement of nutrients and runoff into waterways, in addition to increasing crop yields.
Verdesian’s patented polymer technology helps keep applied nitrogen and phosphorus available in the soil, allowing plants to take up those nutrients, as well as reduce nutrient runoff. This technology will now be more widely available to Central American farmers.
U.S. farmers are already familiar with Verdesian’s patented polymer technology, which is found in several widely used products, such as AVAIL Phosphorus Fertilizer Enhancer, NutriSphere-N Nitrogen Fertilizer Manager and More Than Manure (MTM) Nutrient Manager. These polymer products are already widely used on millions of acres in the U.S. to maximize nitrogen and phosphorous fertilizer efficiency on corn and wheat.
