Ecocert approves Sovinol P740/O for organic crop nutrition products prolonging the shelf-life of agricultural biostimulants, giving suppliers a more robust supply chain
Belgium based Minagro, a developer of high-quality green and safe products and solutions for the crop care industry, recently announced that its co-formulant Sovinol P740/O is now Ecocert certified for use as an in-can preservative for organic fertilizers. Sovinol P740/O, which protects liquid crop nutrient products from microbial contamination, improves the preservation of agricultural biostimulants, such as organic fertilizers; potentially prolonging their shelf life from six months to a minimum of two years.
Ecocert approval of Minagro’s Sovinol P740/O confirms that suppliers of organic crop nutrition products, which boost plant production and overcome abiotic stress, can safely use this co-formulant in-can preservative and continue to meet the organic label requirement.
“As Ecocert is one of the most prominent industry organizations to monitor organic agricultural products, we at Minagro are delighted that our Sovinol P740/O, a co-formulant in-can preservative for use in organic crop nutrition products, is certified,’ said Arnold de Maere, sales & marketing manager at Minagro.
Liquid fertilizer products, principally agricultural biostimulants based on natural plant, seaweed or fermentation extracts, help crops overcome abiotic stress such as low or high temperature, high salinity and deficient or excessive water, especially in the early stages of plant development.
