The Fertilizer Institute’s Certified Biostimulant program is elevating product standards for growers.
President and CEO Corey Rosenbusch tells Brownfield crop nutrients including biologicals are regulated at the state level and compliance can be difficult.
“We took the standard that the industry had been working on that looked at efficacy testing methods, safety, and composition, and we built a certification so that as a grower begins to look at products and understand how they work, they know that they can have confidence that there was a certain rigor that existed,” he says.
