Delivering More From Biologicals

It starts with PPFMs

 

At NewLeaf Symbiotics®, we've spent more than a decade rigorously testing strains of Pink-Pigmented Facultative Methylotrophs, or, as we refer to them, PPFMs. These little pink powerhouses pack a punch of beneficial characteristics – some PPFM technologies improve nutrient uptake to increase vigor, plant development and defense against abiotic stress – while other PPFM technologies can repel pests, like corn rootworm.

The proof is science-led.

These results are aggregated from multi-location trials.

The Power
of Pink
Performance

NewLeaf technology-powered products can be applied as a seed treatment or a planter box application. As a complement to a grower's existing crop management program, products powered by NewLeaf technology can allow growers to get better results from their other crop inputs.

Repel Corn Rootworm with a Revolutionary New Mode of Action

Let's get to the root of the problem – more corn rootworm (CRW) breakthroughs each year cause yield loss, lodging and overall challenges in harvestability. It's time to take control of the billion-dollar pest with NewLeaf's EPA-approved TS201 bioinsecticide with a revolutionary mode of action that repels CRW at the root.

Complement existing CRW-management approaches with a new mode of action powered by NewLeaf's TS201 bioinsecticide technology.

A Decade of Efficacy Data

NewLeaf uses a highly targeted approach in selecting which PPFMs work for a given purpose. Strong consistency in year-over-year results helps demonstrate the reliable performance found through NewLeaf technologies. With a decade of third-party and grower-tested results, NewLeaf's science-led, data-backed approach is documented in the latest trials.
