BPS Agriculture, Argyle, Texas, an agriculture holding company with three startups – Verano365, Farm Shield, and PureAcre – has promoted David Coorts to Vice President of Technical Development. He initially joined Verano365 as a Technical Director in 2019, and he now oversees technical development for all three companies.
BPS said Coorts has 35 years of experience in agriculture and holds a B.S. in Plant and Soil Science from Tennessee Technological University and an M.S. in Soil Taxonomy from the University of Tennessee.
BPS said it uses its proprietary technology, OpusMAX, to create unique products across a number of market segments, including horticulture, broadacre crops, and crop protection. It reported the launch of four products since 2019. Evofactor, Thrivedo, and Nutrivix Zn|Cu from Verano365 are formulated for horticulture use to address nutrient management, yield, and root development, respectively. In early 2021, PureAcre released Augere, a nutrient adjuvant that prevents nitrate leaching.
