According to BPIA Executive Director Keith Jones, “These days when you work in agriculture or horticulture, you regularly hear the term ‘biostimulant’ but what does this word mean? There is currently no legal definition of the word ‘biostimulant’ in the United States. If you have any interest in biostimulants, you will not want to miss this webinar.”

During this ninety-minute webinar, a panel of experts will explain what people are talking about when they say “biostimulant.” The panel will explore how these products work and how they can be used in agriculture and horticulture. Webinar speakers will include Dr. Michelle Jones, a Professor and D.C. Kiplinger Floriculture Endowed Chair in the Department of Horticulture and Crop Science at The Ohio State University; Jane Fife, Chief Science Officer at 3Bar Biologics; Blair Busenbark, Sales and Marketing Manager for Mycorrhizal Applications; Scriven Bernard, Technology Manager for Italpollina; and Kevin Hillemeyer, Sales Representative with the Oil-Dri Corporation of America.
