FBSciences, Memphis, which specializes in biostimulant and biopesticide products, on April 14 announced three new products to complete its six-product calcium nitrate (CN) Compatible lineup. The products are specifically formulated to be compatible with YaraLiva® calcium nitrate fertilizers.
The new products include CopCAN™ Soil CN Compatible, PhotoCAN™ Soil CN Compatible, and FlexCAN™ Soil CN Compatible. Existing products include ZiCAN™, BorCAN™, and ManCAN™ Soil.
The company said ZiCAN, the first product launched under this collaboration, resulted in the most successful product launch in FBSciences’ history.
FBSciences said the expanding product line mixes perfectly with YaraLiva CAN-17 and CN-9, resulting in fewer trips across the field, increased flexibility, and reduced application costs to growers. The company said its products promote the uptake and translocation of the nutrients in these formulations, but also improve the efficiency of other nutrients in the tank. It noted a recent corn study in which ZiCAN Soil and YaraLivaCAN-17 together picked up a 50.9 percent total plant weight increase compared to using YaraLiva CAN-17 alone.
