O company continues its development strategy by obtaining European PFC 6 certification for Cormin® SW, its non-microbial biostimulant designed for bulk-blending fertilizer manufacturers.
This certification is another asset in O’s strategy to address the European market for mineral fertilizer blends. It attests not only to the agronomic performance of Cormin® SW, but also to the rigor of quality control and the transparency of information provided to users, in accordance with European Regulation 2019/1009.
"This is excellent news for manufacturers of blended fertilizers.
This certification is a guarantee of reliability that allows them to confidently choose an effective solution and clearly communicate all the benefits of Cormin® SW to farmers."
Fertilizer efficiency: one of the major challenges facing agriculture
Essential to the intensification of agricultural production for nearly a century, mineral fertilizers are both a valuable resource and a source of concern. On the one hand, they are indispensable for ensuring high productivity and abundant food supplies. On the other hand, as mentioned in a report by the International Fertilizer Industry Association*, their utilization is limited: less than 60% is absorbed by plants in the first year. As a result, some of the unused quantities have an impact on the environment. Greenhouse gas emissions during their manufacture and use, alteration of soil structure, destabilization of the underground ecosystem, introduction of heavy metals such as cadmium, pollution from leaching of excess nutrients or erosion... these are just some of the examples of the
downside of fertilizers.
Faced with these challenges, Cormin® SW offers farmers a concrete solution. Formulated using exclusive MIP® RHIZO technology based on enzyme cofactors and prebiotics derived from seaweed and organic plant extracts, the product acts directly on the soil microorganisms involved in nutrient assimilation by plants.
″To produce more with less, it is essential to make the most of every kilogram of fertilizer. Cormin® SW improves crop nutrition while mobilizing soil resources, maximizing yields and further rationalizing fertilizer inputs for greater environmental friendliness,″ explains Jérôme Alix.
Field-proven results
With more than 100 trials conducted under real-world conditions, Cormin® SW has demonstrated productivity gains, with equal fertilization, ranging from:
These performances are accompanied by an increase in photosynthesis, biomass, and vegetative vigor, increased ear filling, and optimized use of N, P, K, Ca, and Mg elements.
A simple, adaptable, and immediately operational solution
Presented in the form of granules to be added directly to fertilizer mixing stations, Cormin® SW integrates perfectly into existing production lines. Compatible with all fertilizers, it is used at a dose of 75 kg/ha on all field crops.
″This certification opens the doors to the European market, but also to Asia and Latin America, where the quality of European standards is recognized and interest in our technology is growing.
Cormin® SW embodies our vision: high-performance, eco-designed solutions that drive progress for the agriculture of tomorrow,″ concludes Charles Marchand.
