GreenSTEM Technology Launches BioPro Fertilizer, Opens Field Trial Applications
GreenSTEM Technology Corp has announced the introduction of BioProspector™ Fertilizer (BioPro), a fungi-based agricultural product designed to improve plant tolerance to abiotic stress. The product is now ready for field testing, and GreenSTEM is actively seeking farmers to participate in trials across a range of soil and crop types.
What Is BioProspector™ Fertilizer?
BioPro uses biosafe fungi to help plants manage stress caused by conditions such as drought, extreme temperatures, salinity, and nutrient deficiencies. According to GreenSTEM, the fungi form a mold — similar to the strain used to produce penicillin — that supports plant access to water and nutrients in hot, dry, or nutrient-depleted soils.
The product is described as applicable across gardens, greenhouses, and open fields, and is positioned for use in conventional agricultural settings as well as more challenging environments such as mine sites.
