Milliken do Brasil, a subsidiary of the American material science company, is set to unveil a groundbreaking technology at the 10th edition of Enca (National Meeting of Agricultural Cooperatives). The event takes place from June 18 to 19 at Expo D. Pedro in Campinas, SP. This innovative technology modifies certain physical characteristics of the soil, improving water distribution within the soil profile and making it more available to plant roots for a longer duration.
“We are excited to use this excellent opportunity to showcase our new solution that enhances our rich portfolio of sustainable products. We are still refining technical operations to bring this product to Brazil, targeting crops like soybeans, corn, wheat, rice, and cotton. The product has already shown outstanding results in Chile, particularly in citrus, avocado, walnut, grape, potato, and tomato cultivation,” said Ivan Francischini Junior, Senior Account Manager at Milliken.
The new technology helps maintain or even increase yield with less water and energy usage by preventing loss through leaching and runoff. “Many companies have soil surfactants, but Milliken’s technology has a different molecular structure that offers greater longevity since it degrades more slowly by soil microorganisms,” Francischini added.
Milliken will also present its microplastic-free polymer technology for seed treatment operations, tools for coloring special fertilizers, and microcapsules that protect active ingredients against antagonistic substances or extend the residual control period. “We have a robust presence in the agribusiness sector, and besides showcasing our innovations, the event will be a great opportunity to strengthen our ties with industry companies,” said Francischini.
Discussing Innovation
The event will feature lectures and panels over the two days to discuss themes shaping the future of agribusiness. On June 18, at 9:30 AM, Milliken will participate in the panel ‘Innovation and Sustainability,’ presenting their solutions for soil water management, microplastic-free polymers, microencapsulation, and polymer color technology. “Throughout our 150-year history, innovation has always been our hallmark. Today, you cannot talk about agribusiness without talking about sustainability. That’s why we have a complete line of solutions aimed at optimizing natural resource consumption,” stated Francischini.
