PASSION TO INNOVATE

One of the questions that sometimes comes up when we talk about nutrient cycling is whether we are, in a sense, “mining” the soil. It's a fair question. After all, if biology is helping make nutrients that are already in the soil more available to the crop, it can sound like we are simply pulling more out of the ground. But that is not really what is happening. The goal is not to strip nutrients out of the soil and leave less behind. The goal is to improve how efficiently nut

Rosana Farms, a Saskatchewan grower put that question to the test on commercial acres of lentils. MNP led the third-party agronomy and data collection. AdvancedAg supplied the biological program. Could We Take 30% Out of the Fertility Program and Still Protect Crop Performance? The full design compared the grower standard with AdvancedAg programs at 100%, 90%, 80% and 70% of the farms standard. That fertility ladder let the trial ask more than whether biology “worked”: it tes

For winter crops, the foundation for spring performance is built before the plant ever enters dormancy. As the seed absorbs moisture and begins germination, the beneficial microbes in A*LIVE Seed become active around the seed and developing root zone. This means biological activity begins before the crop emerges above the soil, supporting the plant during some of its earliest and most important stages of development. As roots begin to form, these microbes help create a more a

Not all biologicals are created the same, and AdvancedAg's fermentation system changes the narrative away from "bugs in a jug."

From: Grainews, written by Don Norman (full article here: https://www.grainews.ca/crops/biologicals-biostimulants-make-way-into-prairie-crop-plans/ ) This year at Ag in Motion, the biologicals and biostimulants space was buzzing. We had great discussions with growers who are ready to incorporate biological solutions but are also, rightfully, skeptical about what works and what doesn't. If you’re considering investing in any new non-traditional input, you must ask the tough qu

This year was our first time exhibiting at Ag in Motion (AIM). We knew there would be plenty of “biological” products promoted across the show, but our goal was different, we wanted to show farmers real data, not just photos and stories. Not only did we have great discussions around reducing input costs, but we also backed them up with third-party-verified trial plots. Today, AdvancedAg biologicals are treating nearly 500,000 acres across Western Canada. Based on what we’ve c

We’ve built our reputation on proven spring and summer biological applications, helping growers improve plant health, nutrient efficiency, and input ROI. Over the past two years, we’ve expanded that work into fall crops, investing in research, replicated greenhouse studies, and on-farm trials to understand how the right biologicals can impact winter wheat performance. This move isn’t just about agronomic curiosity, it’s backed by data, demand, and global regulatory foresight,

We’ve invested years into developing a biological seed treatment ( A*LIVE Seed ) to work with nature to improve early-season crop performance, especially in pulse crops, which are highly responsive to soil biology. The result? A carefully selected blend of Bacillus species and biosurfactants designed to: Improve nutrient availability (especially phosphorus), Stimulate stronger root and shoot development, and Help crops get off to a fast, stress-resilient start. Growers using

In drought-stricken years, the uncertainty of low yields can make it challenging to conduct trials and explore new agricultural products. Questions arise, like: "Is a biological product really a sensible choice during a drought year or is it better to wait for more favourable environmental conditions to run a trial?" It’s important to consider the role of soil biology and its impact on germination and early plant health in drought years. If used and applied properly, the righ

Windiana Farms is a family-owned farm in southern Alberta, committed to growing quality crops – potatoes, cereals and forage. It was started by Mike & Cathy Wind in 1989 when Mike left a successful partnership to venture out on his own. Starting with a small land base and potato contract, through much hard work and many blessings, the farm has grown in size and added two sons, Jeremy and Kevin, as partners. For over 5 years, Jeremy has been incorporating AdvancedAg biologica

Over the years, we have seen significant results for pulse growers using our ACF-SR product to promote healthier plants and increasing overall yield without heavy reliance on synthetic fungicides. Example: Producer Trades Fungicide for Biology In 2022, we wanted to see the response of our new SRP technology on chickpeas and lentils compared to conventional fungicide on a farm in southern Saskatchewan. Here’s what we found: From: Doug Logan Logan Farms, Gull Lake, Saskatchewa

We have been working with soybean producers across North America, and have consistently witnessed better root growth, biomass and yield. In 2023, we took a closer look at our SRP product exclusively for soybeans by completing replicated trials with Eurofins Agrisciences and performing in-house greenhouse trials. Eurofins Agroscience Services is particularly known for its expertise in agrochemical testing and regulatory consultancy. Capabilities include: Extensive Experience:

Over the last 7 years, we have conducted countless field trials and research initiatives with the goal of leveraging a foliar biological product. We are excited to announce that this work has finally come to fruition. SRP has been developed to optimize plant health and suppress disease while enhancing plant growth. Continued research has led to some groundbreaking discoveries on the effectiveness of SRP on a variety of crops. This technology consists of a carefully formulated

From: The Grower (full article here ): By Karen Davidson, Nov 28, 2022 When Jeremy Wind talks about a brew kit, he’s not talking about beer. He’s referring to a biological fertilizer that enhances the plant health of his 750 acres of chipping potatoes near Taber, Alberta. Called ACF-SR, the product is sourced from AdvancedAg in Raymond, Alberta. The CFIA-approved label says that it’s made from naturally occurring live bacteria that will optimize plant growth, enhance root str
