Creating healthier plants by switching on genes
Acadian BioSwitch is an advanced technology used to create innovative plant health solutions. It enhances natural processes within plants by switching on gene expression and active compound production that stimulate plant growth and protect against environmental stresses.
“For 35 years, we have been listening to the challenges that farmers are facing in growing their crops,” said President and CEO of ASL, Jean-Paul Deveau. “A key differentiating factor of Acadian BioSwitch is that it has a strong foundation of research and science; it’s supported by researchers from around the world and it’s a proven technology that works where it matters most – in the field.”
“The launch of this new technology will lay the foundation for Acadian Plant Health’s long-term growth strategy. A ‘seal of quality,’ representing the technology, has been developed. Going forward, all crop inputs that contain this technology will bear the seal so that growers can easily identify Acadian BioSwitch-powered products,” said President of APH, Roger Tripathi. “Since Acadian BioSwitch is the ‘trigger technology’ – the system responsible for stimulating certain plant growth mechanisms – behind several trusted APH brands, growers can rest assured that any new products containing it will provide the same superior performance with every application, year after year.”
Tripathi adds, “While still working to determine the modes of action of this technology, APH has shown that bioactive compounds found within Acadian BioSwitch enhance or inhibit the function of certain genes that enhance rooting, stress management and overall plant health and productivity.”
