Helm presents results of biological seed treatment at EnBio 2024

Helm Argentina showcased the initial field results of its new seed treatment (ST), Innobio Protergium Terra, on soybean crops during EnBio 2024.

The demonstration trial field was treated with a combination comprising two microorganisms, which are Bacillus velezensis T2 and Trichoderma harzianum TH10.

During the fair, visitors were able to learn more about the trial results and interact with Helm Argentina's technical team.

The aim was to provide more information on the latest developments in the field of biological products for soybean, wheat, and barley seed treatment.

The trial was organized by Helm Argentina’s research and development team and, in addition to showcasing the performance of the Innobio Protergium Terra line, it demonstrated the product’s effectiveness compared to traditional chemical treatments.

During EnBio 2024, the company also demonstrated the application of four new treatments based on two products, which will be launched in the Argentine market during the last quarter of this year.

″These products, which can be combined with traditional treatments, represent the latest technology in the field of bio-stimulants, fertilizers, and antioxidants, offering advanced solutions for current agricultural challenges,″ Helm stated.

According to the company, the global trend of incorporating biological products in crop care is steadily growing, and Helm Argentina aims to drive innovation in these technologies.

″Being part of activities like this gives us an invaluable opportunity to demonstrate the effectiveness and performance of our biological product line,″ said Christian Alessio, Research and Development Manager at Helm Argentina.

Field trials are ″essential to achieving our promise of providing innovative and effective solutions for agriculture,″ he added.

″These direct experiences enable us to show our customers and producers the real value of our products and how they contribute to a more sustainable and productive agriculture,″ he said
