International year of Plant Health and Sustainability-The Panagora Blog
When the United Nations declared the year 2020 to be the International Year of Plant Health, it shined an even brighter light on the critical role that plant vitality plays in reducing hunger, protecting the environment and boosting the economic viability of global agriculture. Rooted in the commitment to plant health is the advancement of sustainability with biological solutions: reduced-risk products based on biological or naturally derived products.
In recent years, the search has expanded for sustainable products that boost productivity while helping growers address challenges and meet sustainability goals. Agricultural biologicals, or biosolutions, are a diverse group of products derived from naturally occurring plant extracts, microorganisms or other organic matter, according to the Biological Products Industry Alliance (BPIA). They're used across a broad and diverse range of crops.
For an increasing number of growers, the use of these nontraditional crop solutions plays an increasingly important role in crop management, even if it still represents a relatively small portion of the total market of products used for growing crops. Biosolutions is a rapidly growing segment, increasing 16 percent annually, according to BPIA.
In the fruit and vegetable market, where 80 percent of product sales are focused, growers are finding that incorporating biosolutions helps protect and promote optimal plant development while meeting productivity goals in a sustainable way. And integrating biosolutions into modern crop production also helps meet growing demands for sustainable methods of food production.
