The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday approved Monsanto’s biological seed treatment product designed to promote symbiosis between microbes and corn plants to strengthen root systems and increase plants’ access to nutrients.
The BioAg Alliance — a collaboration between Novozymes and Monsanto Company — have referred to the project in the past as the Corn BioYield 2 poject and Acceleron B-360 ST. Acceleron B-360 ST will be used in combination with Acceleron B-300 SAT, which was introduced in 2017 and used by U.S. farmers on more than 4 million corn acres in its first year.
据孟山都公司发言人称，Acceleron B-360 ST 计划于 2019 年进入美国和加拿大市场，并在等待监管部门批准的情况下进入部分欧洲和中东国家。
AccoBiological 种子处理剂，如 Acceleron B-300 SAT 和 Acceleron B-360 ST 可帮助植物建立健康的根系，从而使植物更有效地吸收养分。养分吸收的增加导致这些养分通过径流进入水源或进入空气而释放到环境中的减少。植物生物量的增加有助于将碳固存到土壤中，特别是在促进根系发育的微生物中。结果是将二氧化碳从空气中抽出并将其储存在土壤中。
