The two companies will get together for the development and distribution of a proprietary mix of Sound Agriculture’s bio-inspired chemistry and key micronutrients. It can be ascertained from early data that the combination holds potential to be a best-in-class product within the broader nutrient efficiency space.
The new product is expected to be launched in the United States by 2023, before release in additional markets in the Americas, with focus on Brazil, Argentina and Canada. Sound Agriculture will be involved in the production of the active ingredient and product formulation, while Mosaic will focus on field development, regulatory, sales and marketing work.
This partnership enhances Mosaic’s current soil health portfolio while providing another medium for a comprehensive and well-balanced approach to plant nutrition. The collaboration complements Sound Agriculture’s SOURCE product line of foliar products for corn and soybeans by adding core micronutrients for growers who expect a complete in-season fertility solution.
