New Platform to Review Biologicals

AgList is a new platform to help farmers discover ag biological products and see what other growers are using and recommending.

There are hundreds of companies manufacturing ag biologicals, a broad category that includes biocontrols, biostimulants, and biofertilizers, to name a few.

To date, farmers didn’t have a way to figure out which products might work best for their operations.

Plus, the sheer number of products makes it difficult for manufacturers to stand out in a crowd.

“It’s an extremely crowded space,” Dr. Pam Marrone said during the Salinas Biologicals Summit.

“There are opportunities, but often the ones that come first are the easiest technically and don’t necessarily target what the growers need.”

Brothers Tim and Tyler Nuss are family farmers themselves and are behind the launch of AgList.

They know firsthand about the difficulties of finding the right ag biologicals.

They plan to expand the platform in the future at aglist.com.
