From July 1, Stoller Australia was fully integrated into the new plant performance segment of Corteva Agriscience, helping drive further gains for growers looking to boost farm performance, build resilience and protect their crop’s potential.

With an upgraded system, customers can now use a single platform for ordering crop protection and plant performance products for a more streamlined operation.

David Cavallaro, who was managing director of Stoller Australia, is now plant performance leader at Corteva.

“Plant Performance focuses on anything which maintains or unlocks the genetic potential of a plant, and our team’s goal is to provide sustainable solutions to grow better crops and improve crop yield and produce quality,” David says.

“Crop protection, in contrast, focuses on protecting crops from biotic pressures such as insects, weeds and diseases in a safe and sustainable manner,” he says.

“The synergistic effects between the two is that when you’ve got a healthier plant, you not only improve its ability to be self-defending against these biotic pressures, but the plant’s resilience and ability to recover also helps the Crop Protection products in their actions.”

Stoller’s expertise in plant physiology and its range of innovative biological solutions have merged seamlessly with Corteva’s mission to help farmers succeed.

“We’re delivering smarter, more efficient ways to use fertilisers, improve nutrient uptake, and manage stress in crops. It’s all about helping farmers do more with less,” David adds.
