Insight into microalgae-based biostimulants - Douglas Wagner, CEO at AlgaEnergy N.A., will speak on one of the largest biopesticide and novel fertilizer conferences in China
Date:06-26-2019
Microalgae applied in modern agriculture increase nutrient availability, maintain soil fertility, and enhance plant growth. Some species provide nitrogen fertilization through biological nitrogen fixation, interconversion and mobilization of different forms of nitrogen. And some species may produce growth hormones, polysaccharides, antimicrobial compounds and other metabolites that are beneficial to crops and microbial communities in soil.
AlgaEnergy is a leading biotech company in the sector of the microalgae culture, with over 4 decades cutting edge know-how and several disruptive processes, protocols and technologies patented across the entire value chain. AlgaEnergy has powerful R&D programs which ensure the reliability of its biological processes and a high performance in its forefront culture systems. The company has established an innovation network comprising over 130 research partners, being contractually linked to public research organizations, universities and other clusters in the biotechnology of microalgae sector, whose knowledge and experience during the last decades is well recognized internationally.
According to Douglas, AlgaEnergy has perfected the commercial-scale production of novel biostimulants from unique combinations of microalgae strains, using proprietary UPT® process. The company has designed an “Integral Biostimulation®” program that can be easily integrated into the normal practices of the grower.
Biostimulants like microalgae-based products are in tremendous demand in China and other fast-developing Asian markets. Based on research, China’s biostimulant market was USD 240m in 2017, and is expected to reach USD 500m in the next 3-5 years. The demand for biostimulants in the Asia Pacific region is expected to become the world’s largest market for biostimulants.
During BioEx 2019, experts will introduce the regulations for biopesticides and crop nutrition products in the US, EU and other well-developed regions, also, business opportunities and challenges in China and other Asian countries will be discussed. Excellent, biostimulant, novel fertilizer and biopesticide manufacturers from around the world will meet nearly 400 Chinese and SE Asian distributors and growers, exchanging knowledge and building network.
