Mosaic Fertilizantes announced the launch of Mosaic Biosciences Brasil at the Show Safra Fair on March 18-22 in Lucas do Rio Verde, state of Mato Grosso. Mosaic Biosciences was established by The Mosaic Co. and launched in the US on Aug. 15, 2023 (GM Aug. 18, 2023).
Mosaic Bioscience products focus on bionutrition and include inoculants, biostimulants, and biofertilizers. The portfolio has three main missions: managing water stress, using nutrients efficiently, and managing leaf activation.
The Brazil portfolio will initially feature four products, all intended for soil use. MBio Hidro manages water stress by protecting the crops against water and heat stresses, promoting more tolerant plants. MBio Brad, MBio Azo, and MBio Phos will help plants make the most efficient use of nutrients, making nitrogen and phosphorus more available to plants, maximizing growth, and promoting a more resilient production system.
The Mosaic Biosciences line will be produced by partner companies and
suppliers in Brazil, which the company said were selected for the quality, efficiency,
and reliability of their
products. Mosaic Fertilizantes said at the appropriate time it will provide
more details about the partnerships.
Alexandre Ricardo Alves, Director of Mosaic Biosciences Brasil, noted that the technologies
in the new line improve soil health and support plant physiology. “Farmers have
been adept at innovating in this area to maximize yields with minimal
environmental impact, and this is a move that will certainly serve their
interests,” he said.
“The launch of Mosaic Biosciences in Brazil symbolizes another important
strategy for diversification of new businesses and sustainable growth for the
company in the country,” he added. “Mosaic Fertilizantes wants to become the
leading bionutrition company by offering products that enhance the interaction
between soil, plants, and the microbiome. This will improve crop performance
and soil health, creating new opportunities for agriculture and humanity.”
Mosaic Fertilizantes also highlighted other Mosaic specialty fertilizer products at the fair, including Aspire, MicroEssentials, Performa Bio, and MPasto.
