Farmers are reaping the benefits of innovative agricultural solutions that enhance productivity and profitability. AgBio Logic is at the forefront of the biological product movement, offering cutting-edge biological biostimulant designed to improve soil and plant health.
These advancements are driven partly by the significant challenges farmers face in an unpredictable economic landscape. Fluctuating market prices strain budgets and hinder profitability, complicating cost management and sustainable yield achievement. AgBio Logic’s biostimulant products offer a viable pathway to address these challenges. Biostimulants benefit crops in a number of ways while increasing yields-ultimately leading to higher gross returns and lowering cost per unit of goods produced.
“I trust we and the biological industry as a whole are playing a significant role in enhancing profitability by focusing on improving both efficiency and sustainability at the farm level,” says Jerry O’Dell, co-founder.
O’Dell has a Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Economics, grew up on a diversified cattle and row crop family farm and 16 years employed with a branch of USDA helping farmers analyze their farm budgets prior to his founding AgBio Logic in 1991.
Drawing on its 30 plus years of experience developing a market for biological biostimulants, AgBio Logic understands the impact economic downturns have with both the mental thinking and financial hardships farmers experience. Currently many commodity crop prices are below the cost of production for many farmers. History has shown during hard times businesses seek ways to become more efficient. Farmers are treating farming as a business. This is indicative by their implementing proven agronomic practices and the growing use of biologicals worldwide.
Agbio Logic’s foliar products are marketed under their registered trademark ‘Over The Top’ with a sub title of the crop for which it has been formulated i.e. “Over The Top Soybeans DS”. Their flag ship soil applied product ‘Start Right’ for corn production has been reformulated and is called ‘Start Right 2.0’. It is normally applied with a starter fertilizer or nitrogen at planting. All product formulations have as their base carboxylic acid and seaweed extracts. Carboxylic acid has replaced humic acid. It can be said that seaweed extracts started the biostimulant movement for crop production in the U.S. if not in the world. Its usage dates back to biblical times with the Romans. Both carboxylic acid and seaweed extracts can be described as a chelator for certain macro and micronutrients nutrients improving their bioavailability and transport of nutrients within the plant. Other biological material used in the formulation process include plant derived amino acids, vitamins and 16 different soil bacteria strands.
O’Dell learned from Dr. T.L. Senn Head and Professor of Horticulture Emertus (deceased) Clemson University who authored a book titled ‘Seaweed and Plant Growth’ published in 1987 that the use of multiple biological material would result in a greater positive impact to plant health and reproduction capability than one material source alone. The last few years O’Dell has witnessed companies using this principle approach when formulating their products. This will have a great impact on crop performance and sales of biological products offered going forward in the US he predicts.
AgBio Logic’s continued dedication to delivering quality products has helped the industry become one the fastest growing crop inputs in the U.S. if not in the world. They were one of the first companies to introduce biostimulants for row crop production to parts of the U.S. This dedication has been fostered from relationships developed with pioneers in the industry, intelligent scientists and established companies within the farm supply chain, together allowing farmers to meet their goal for a more sustainable and productive farm economy.
