WinField United BioVerified™ Designation Brings Added Clarity To Biologicals Market
The biological market is crowded, and it can be hard to know where to begin. Our agronomic experts have been closely monitoring and testing biological products to help the growers and retailers in our system understand which products to trust and how to use them. Now, we’ve consolidated that effort into an identifiable brand and systematic rating scale to make the vetting process easier for our partners.
Introducing: The WinField United BioVerified™ designation.
When you choose a WinField United BioVerified product, you can have confidence knowing it is vetted by the agronomic experts at WinField United.
The WinField United BioVerified designation is not limited to WinField United products. Sure, we test proprietary products and some of them, like Ascend2® plant growth regulator, make the list. But spotlighting our own products is not the focus. As a distributor, we’re looking across the market to be a transparent and trusted resource.
The product must also be proven to work and deliver on its claims. We evaluate this criteria several ways. One potential way is in the field throughout our Answer Plot® system. The team at the Innovation Center in River Falls, Wis., has also started using their 3D imaging equipment to help identify product impacts faster in a controlled environment. We may also analyze broad data from third-party vendors.
Just because a product works in the field doesn’t mean it works within a farmer’s operation – or that it makes sense for the retail channel. The operational criteria considers factors like handling, shelf life, application options, tank mixability and more.
Finally, at the end of the day, choosing any of these products has to make good business sense for the farm. This category evaluates the ROI potential of every product.
Our team plans to evaluate the lineup annually, adding new products that meet criteria and potentially removing products that have been outperformed by competitors.
