As the agricultural sector continues to evolve, the need for innovative solutions that promote sustainability, and crop resilience has never been more critical.

As the agricultural sector continues to evolve, the need for innovative solutions that promote sustainability, and crop resilience has never been more critical.

The recent collaboration between New Edge Microbials (NEM) and global leader Lallemand heralds a new era for growers in Australia and New Zealand.

Launching three groundbreaking products in Australia in November, this strategic partnership takes a significant step towards enhancing crop performance and addressing the challenges posed by increasingly harsh environmental conditions. 

The trio of products – LALSTIM OSMO SP, LALRISE MAX WP, and LALRISE START SC – offers exciting advances for agricultural practices.

LALSTIM OSMO SP is a plant care product designed to protect crops from various environmental stresses, such as heat, drought, salinity, and cold.

The product is a natural osmoprotectant, which helps plants regulate their water uptake and maintain cellular integrity under stressful conditions.

It enhances photosynthesis, nitrogen metabolism, and nutrient translocation, making plants more resilient to adverse environmental conditions.

LALRISE MAX WP employs MYCONNECT TECHNOLOGY, utilising mycorrhizal fungi to enhance nutrient uptake and promote drought tolerance across various crop rotations.

By facilitating faster root colonisation, this mycorrhizal inoculant maximises yield potential while safeguarding plant health.

Completing this innovative suite is LALRISE START SC, a plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria that fortifies young plants during their critical establishment phase. By improving root vigour and enhancing nutrient and water uptake, it optimises overall productivity, leading to increased growth, yield, and crop quality.

Collaborating with more than 400 leading scientists worldwide, and aligning with prestigious research institutions, NEM continuously strives to drive forward sustainable farming practices with an aim of not only enhancing plant resilience but to also unlock nature's potential for improved crop yields.

Underpinning this innovative product launch is Lallemand, a cornerstone in the microbiological solutions industry since the late 19th century. With operations in 50 countries, its extensive experience and leadership in microbiological technologies significantly bolsters the partnership.

The New Edge Microbials team has also worked closely with industry leaders, growers, and influencers to grasp the evolving needs of Australian agriculture, resulting in the introduction of these internationally proven products to the local market.

As demand widens at grower level, NEM says it will be inviting distributors, agronomists, and stakeholders to explore how its microbial solutions can transform their agricultural practices.

By embracing these advanced biological technologies, growers can elevate their outcomes and navigate the complexities of modern agriculture with confidence.

As the landscape of agriculture shifts, the adoption of sustainable and innovative practices becomes essential.

The launch of NEM's products symbolises hope and progress, offering the promise of a more resilient and fruitful future for agriculture.
