What is abiotic stress?

field of cereals

 

Abiotic stress refers to the environmental pressures that crops face.

This includes drought, extreme heat, cold, and soil salinity. These factors are beyond a farmer's control but can drastically impact plant growth, yield, and overall farm productivity. Understanding abiotic stress is the first step toward finding solutions to protect your crops.

When crops face abiotic stress, they struggle to grow, reproduce, and produce a healthy yield.

A lack of nutrient availability or exposure to excessive heat, for instance, forces plants into survival mode, leaving them less energy to develop fruits, grains, or seeds. Over time, these challenges can lead to poor crop health and rob you of yield potential.

Advancements in agriculture are helping farmers combat abiotic stress.

From seed applied treatments to soil amendments and innovative biological solutions, these tools are designed to strengthen your crops against environmental extremes. With biological products, you can mitigate the effects of abiotic stress and safeguard your farm’s future.

Frequently asked questions

What is a biological?

Biological products from Corteva consist of materials that already exist in nature. Some of our products are actual living organisms, like beneficial bacteria. Others, like enzymes, are derived from natural materials.

Do biologicals replace other crop protection solutions?

Biologicals are not meant to replace conventional crop protection solutions, but to complement them. They work alongside traditional practices, enhancing the overall effectiveness of your crop protection program. By pairing Biologicals with today's synthetic innovations, you can address challenges like abiotic stress, improve soil health, and boost plant resilience while continuing to rely on conventional solutions for critical pest, weed, and disease control. Together, they create a balanced system that improves farm productivity and supports long-term success.

What are the major forces driving Biological adoption?

The adoption of Biologicals is expected to grow rapidly in the coming decade, driven by three key factors:

  • First, sustainability and regulatory changes are pushing the agriculture industry to explore solutions that align with evolving consumer preferences and environmental standards. Biologicals meet these demands by supporting plant health while minimizing environmental impact.
  • Second, increased R&D investment is enhancing the reliability and accessibility of biological products, offering innovative tools for farmers to add to their crop management plan.
  • Finally, Biologicals provide complementary agronomic benefits, boosting the efficacy of conventional practices and helping farmers maximize their return on investment while addressing on-farm challenges.
