BiOWiSH Technologies Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio, announced that its BiOWiSH® Crop Liquid has received regulatory approval by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) for sale and use in agriculture production.
In conjunction with this CFIA certification, Chicago-based Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) is now offering BiOWiSH® Enhanced Fertilizer at five new terminal locations across the US and Canada, and four more locations will be added later in the year.
“Earning CFIA approval is a testament to our innovative, natural, and non-GMO technology, which helps farmers improve crop production in a sustainable way,” said BiOWiSH Chief Innovation Officer Bill Diederich. “Partnering with an industry leader like ADM allows us to work together to advance productivity and climate-smart practices in a way that is practical for farmers to implement.”
The BiOWiSH® Fertilizer Enhancement is a blend of proprietary microbial cultures coated onto dry fertilizer or mixed with liquid fertilizer to create an enhanced efficiency fertilizer. It is applied directly by the fertilizer supplier and can be added to urea, UAN, DAP, MAP, NPK blends, and other products.
“BiOWiSH is an industry leader with a strong track record of helping farmers achieve success globally,” said ADM Director of Biologicals and New Technology Graig Whitehead. “With our extensive years of agricultural product expertise and expansion to more ADM locations, BiOWiSH and ADM are poised to help farmers across Canada and the US optimize yield potential and profits.”
BiOWiSH® Enhanced Fertilizer is now available in the US at ADM locations in Madison, Ill., Ottawa, Ill., LaSalle, Ill., Camanche, Iowa, East Dubuque, Ill., Owensboro, Ky., Paul, Minn., and Winona, Minn. It will be available this fall at ADM sites in Concordia, Kan., Hutchinson, Kan., Marion, S.D, and Twin Brooks, S.D. The product is available in Canada at ADM locations in Picture Butte, Alta., Carberry, Man., and Lajord, Sask.
