Company to add alliance to help growers
American Plant Food Corporation will utilize its robust marketing and distribution capabilities to provide these innovative products and solutions to agriculture, nursery, orchard, turf and landscape markets throughout the U.S. and abroad.
“In our 54 years of business, American Plant Food has supplied growers millions of tons of fertilizer to help feed a growing world. Throughout these years we’ve maintained our mission to bring value to the grower, which is what has sustained us all these years. However, agriculture is changing, soils are changing, but one thing will remain unchanged and that is we will always put growers’ interest first. If we can’t bring value to the grower we will fail. Our alliance with Sigma Agriscience and AM-AG marks the beginning of a new era,” said Toby Hlavinka, president and CEO of American Plant Food Corporation, Galena Park, Texas. “We now offer our customers a complete line of inorganic and organic nutrients, as well as plant health biostimulants. Our expanded nutrient portfolio now provides the grower with an opportunity to revitalize their overall soil health in addition to meeting the macro-nutrient requirements their plants and crops require.”
Branded as “Sigma Biosphere,” the go-to-marketing strategy is a program that complements conventional growing practices by supercharging standard NPK fertility with secondary and micronutrient plant nutrition plus biostimulants.
Modern crop production is reliant upon a multitude of factors and nutrition is a major element of economic yields across a multitude of soil types. More importantly, matching genetics with an increasing attention to detail over and above conventional NPK fertility programs has paid dividends for many producers. Typically, NPK programs are now supplemented with greater attention to secondary and micro-nutrient inclusion.
Sigma Biosphere products utilize a range of soil and crop appropriate combinations of magnesium, calcium, sulfur and micronutrients in season-long form to augment NPK blends to maximize crop production across a variety of growing environments and crop rotations.
