CanGrow Crop Solutions, Alvinston, Ontario, will be the first distributor and supplier of Biodyne USA’s microbial technology to growers in Canada.

“After years of extensive field and farm trials, we saw proof that Biodyne products can support grower needs to reduce commercial inputs, manage residues, maximize yield and increase return on investment,” says Shawn Brenneman, director of commercial growth and strategy for Cangrow.

The company evaluated more than a dozen different biological companies over the last several years before deciding to move ahead with Biodyne.

“The main reason we chose to work with Biodyne USA is because of its advanced production capacities and its team approach, offering products with a multitude of plant and soil capabilities,” says Ray McDonald, owner of CanGrow.

“When we optimize the rhizosphere with better biology, we increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the whole system. Plants feed the microorganisms and the microorganisms feed the plant,” says McDonald.

In 2023, CanGrow will launch four Biodyne microorganism-based products in Canada. The products will be available in Organic Certified versions as well.

Those products include:

ReSTore - a seed-applied biological team that promotes quicker germination, more robust root mass and increased early-season plant vigour.

ReNew - a diverse microorganism team that ensures soil and plants efficiently work together to maximize growth and productivity. ReNew provides plant enhancement capabilities including vitamin and hormone production, nutrient releasers, and stress reducers. This product is applied in-furrow with water or fertilizers in any crop.

UnLeash - a microbial biostimulant, residue manager and degrader all in one. This is applied to the soil surface and can be mixed with herbicides, fungicides or fertilizers.

MeltDown - a complete tool for managing crop residue. This product supports enhanced soil bed and planting conditions, less wear or damage to equipment, and re-cycling of nutrients tied up within residue. MeltDown is applied to residue fall or spring, and is an excellent option for corn, wheat and cover crop stubble or residues.

All four of these microorganism-based products can be used in any crop and can be easily incorporated into a grower’s existing management program.
