Date:04-15-2021

FBSciences announces 3 new products to complete its 6-product calcium nitrate (CN) Compatible lineup. Building on the proven performance and success of the first 3 products in this line, ZiCAN™, BorCAN™, and ManCAN™ Soil, FBSciences Inc. is expanding the line to include 3 new CN Compatible products specifically formulated to be compatible with YaraLiva® calcium nitrate fertilizers. FBSciences, a global leader in biostimulants, biopesticides, and comprehensive crop nutrition solutions, is excited to announce the expansion of the line to include CopCAN™ Soil CN Compatible, PhotoCAN™ Soil CN Compatible, and FlexCAN™ Soil CN Compatible. ZiCAN™ Soil, the first product launched under this collaboration, resulted in the most successful product launch in FBSciences’ history, highlighting the synergies of these companies and technologies.

FBSciences specializes in biostimulant and biopesticide products, which form the foundation of its comprehensive crop programs. FBSciences' products and technologies have been tested through more than 1500 independent studies and trials, across 6 continents, for over a decade, and have been consistently proven to deliver healthier plants and increased yields, increased quality and nutrient density, improved stress mitigation and recovery, and increased utilization of other crop inputs.

Yara is a global leader in calcium nitrate fertilizers. The success of FBSciences’ ZiCAN, BorCAN, and ManCAN Soil has validated the demand for additional CN compatible fertilizer options. This expanding product line mixes perfectly with YaraLiva CAN-17 and CN-9, resulting in fewer trips across the field, increased flexibility, and reduced application costs to growers. FBSciences and Yara continue to extensively field test FBSciences’ technologies and products with Yara’s leading fertilizers, with consistent and overwhelmingly positive results.

FBSciences’ products result in both increased compatibility and increased efficiency of other crop inputs. The products in the CN Compatible line not only promote the uptake and translocation of the nutrients in these formulations but also improve the efficiency of other nutrients in the tank, including the calcium and nitrogen in YaraLiva CAN-17. These unique formulations allow nitrogen and calcium to mix with additional crop nutrients for optimized tank compatibility. In a recent corn study, ZiCAN Soil and YaraLiva CAN-17 together picked up a 50.9% total plant weight increase compared to using YaraLiva CAN-17 alone.

“FBSciences and Yara share a commitment to sustainable, climate-smart agricultural practices while still striving to increase productivity and profitability for growers,” says Courtenay Wolfe, Chair and CEO of FBSciences. “We are excited about the positive impact we are seeing with this CN Compatible line. Delivering superior compatibility while also increasing efficacy allows growers to reduce the number of applications and meaningfully drive up ROI.”
