Azotic Technologies Ltd., Walnut Creek, Calif., has made personnel changes and additions to its US sales and agronomic services teams. It said the new positions, as well as the restructuring of existing roles, have been strategically aligned with the areas of growth and increased technical service needs to better support expansion into new crops, regions, and retail partnerships.
Scott Bishop and Troy Dean are stepping into the newly created role of Regional Sales Manager. In their new roles, each will focus on sales activities, leading the new Technical Service team and continuing to build and foster relationships with key influencers, retailers, and distribution networks.
The company said John Squire, who has been with the Envita® team since 2020, brings more than 30 years of agronomic experience to his new role as US Commercial Agronomist. Rounding out the Envita team’s expansion is the addition of Technical Service Representative positions. Reporting to Bishop, Tom Kupke (Iowa/Nebraska) and Vicki Schuler (Missouri/Kansas) will service the Midwest while Duane Melton (Georgia/Florida/Alabama) and Charles Hoover (Arkansas, Louisiana/Mississippi) will report to Dean to serve the south and southeastern US.
Envita, Azotic North America’s flagship product, is a naturally occurring, food-grade bacteria – Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus – that provides nitrogen to cells throughout the host plant, both above and below ground, all season long. Envita is registered for all row crops, including corn, soybeans, cereals, pulses, canola, cotton, and potatoes. Azotic said the new team additions will work to expand to additional crops, including rice and cotton, while continuing to serve and support Envita performance and ROI on the product’s key focus on corn, soybeans, and potatoes.
