The 8th ABS, Agri Biostimulants and Biological Products Summit, in 2024 was held grandly between 17th and 19th , April. This summit is to share the global development trends, innovative products and concepts of the industry, and to help industry practitioners and users gain insight into development trends and find growth points. It has attracted the participation of many well-known companies from the industry.Chengdu Newsun Crop Science Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Newsun") appeared at the conference as a key technology supplier of biostimulants.

Only by facing the future, gaining overall insight, and adhering to product strength can we embrace new growth. With the theme of "Adhere to Product Strength and Embrace New Growth", this summit discussed topics such as biostimulants, soil improvement, fertilizer efficiency improvement, and biological control, shared innovative products and concepts, and created an industry platform for new technology research, new strategy promotion, new product display, new trend release, upstream and downstream exchanges, value chain improvement, and industrial chain extension.

"Development and Prospects of Soil Conditioners and Biostimulants in China" Delivered by Academician Minggang XU

At the conference, Mr. Xu Minggang as an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, an Academician of the International Eurasian Academy of Sciences, and the leader of the Cultivated Land Quality Construction Expert Group of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the People’s Republic of China, delivered a speech titled "Development and Prospects of Soil Conditioners and Biostimulants in China", in-depth analysis of the current situation of farmland quality and the demand for soil conditioners in China. He pointed out that with the continuous development of agricultural production, degradation problems such as soil hardening, barrenness, acidification, salinization, and pollution in cultivated land had become increasingly serious, and there was a huge demand for soil improvement and soil conditioners. He introduced in detail the functions and main categories of soil conditioners, as well as the development status of soil conditioners in China. He said that the current demand for soil conditioners in the industry was large and there were many types. With China attaching great importance to it, the research and development, registration, and promotion efforts doubled. When talking about the prospects for the research and development of soil conditioners, Academician Xu said that with the continuous advancement of science and technology, soil conditioners will move towards diversified functions, clear indicators, harmless treatment of industrial and agricultural wastes, and long-term effect monitoring. direction development.

Subsequently, Academician Xu also introduced the concept and development of biostimulants. He pointed out that biostimulants can improve soil ecology, stimulate natural physiological responses of plants to stimulate crop potential, enhance crop system resistance, and improve crop yield, quality and agricultural production efficiency. The current global biostimulant market size is US$2.638 billion and is expected to reach US$5.04 billion by 2026. Looking at the global biostimulant market and development trends, the world's leading pesticide companies, represented by Corteva, UPL and Syngenta, have acquired biostimulant-related technologies and products through acquisitions or cooperation with biotechnology companies. , and sales channels to enter and develop the biostimulant market. Chinese biotech companies represented by Newsun have quickly entered the field of biostimulants with key functions through independent innovation and research and development, focusing on the research and development of integrated biostimulant technologies, and transforming them into global markets based on local crop needs and climate characteristics.

“Biostimulant Integrated Technology-The New Productivity of Green Agriculture” Delivered by Dr. Huang Jin

At the conference, Dr. Huang Jin, the assistant to the president of Newsun Biotechnology Research Institute and the director of the Bioregulation Innovation Center, gave an in-depth explanation on the theme of "Biostimulant Integrated Technology-New Productivity of Green Agriculture". She said that new-quality productivity is an advanced productivity state in which innovation plays a leading role, breaks away from the traditional economic growth mode and productivity development path, has the characteristics of high technology, high efficiency and high quality, and conforms to the new development concept. Biostimulant technology is a type of green innovative technology in the field of agricultural production, which meets the definition of new productivity and high-quality development requirements. Biostimulants promote healthy plant growth and immunity, inhibit the occurrence of pests and diseases, and achieve the purpose of reducing the application of chemical pesticides and fertilizers. In the future, when crops resist adverse factors and abiotic stress caused by extreme climate, biostimulant technology will have great potential. Applications are increasingly showing their unique importance.

She introduced that Newsun’s biostimulant technology R&D team has developed biostimulant technology with key functions based on systematic research on plant physiological growth and nutritional needs, as well as research on the impact of growing plant abiotic stresses and environmental pressures, including GFB- Growth Factor Biostimulants, STB- Stress Tolerance Biostimulants, PSB- Photosynthesis Biostimulants, CKB- CytoKinesis Biostimulants, CSB- Color Sweet Biostimulants, etc.

Each stage of crop growth and development has different growth needs. A single biostimulant technology often cannot meet all agricultural needs. Therefore, the organic fusion of multiple key functional biostimulants to form biostimulant integrated technology can achieve critical growth in crop development. Maximize effectiveness according to demand in the period, so that crops can grow according to human "needs".

Dr. Huang Jin, the assistant to the president of Newsun Biotechnology Research Institute and the director of the Bioregulation Innovation Center

As the biostimulant market continues to expand, product types continue to enrich, and application fields gradually expand, the agricultural field also shows an urgent need for environmentally friendly, green, and sustainable solutions, indicating the huge potential and unlimited vitality of the biostimulant market. Through the 8th ABS, all parties jointly discussed the current status and development trends of the biostimulant market, the cutting-edge technology and future trends of green agricultural development, and provided new ideas and new impetus for sustainable agricultural development. As a key technology supplier of biostimulants, Newsun demonstrated its research and development results and technical advantages in the field of biostimulants and integrated technology at the summit and will continue to play an important role in the maintenance of agricultural ecological environment biodiversity and sustainable green development of agriculture.
