address all their soil pests," says Poon.
"Our AZteroid FC product provides great
control of Rhzoctonia in sugarbeets, and
for black dot, black scurf and silver scurf
in potato.
"With just one molecule, we're able to
get some drastically different effects,"
he continues. "Whether you're looking
for a foliar application, in-furrow or a
seed treatment, we can optimize existing
products so they do things they won't do
on their own."
"Our approach," says Zatylny, "is to
start at the farm gate and go back to the
lab. Rather than having all our research
guys in the lab dreaming up solutions to
problems that may or may not exist, we
can get actual solutions more effectively
by starting at the farm."
That's good news for a grower
community hungry for ways to feed the
world more efficiently and effectively.
"Everything we do," says Anderson,
"is all about rapid innovation to get new,
productive tools in the hands of growers." n
Vive's Allosperse delivery nanotechnology utilizes polymer
"shuttles" to allow chemistries to work well together that
otherwise would react in such a way as to make them
unusable for growers.
