BioSafe Systems will offer a range of products based on BVT's Clonostachys rosea CR-7 (CR-7) proprietary microbe for use in foliar and soil drench markets in the United States, with future options to expand into Mexico and other countries. BVT will provide technical grade CR-7 on a non-exclusive basis to BioSafe, who will develop and market end-use biological products for plant health and control of foliar and soil diseases.

The new end-use products will build upon the expertise of both companies which have agreed to closely collaborate to expedite the time to market on all formulations, and obtain any necessary regulatory requirements. The first product is expected to enter the market as early as the 2023 growing season. Foliar spray application of fungicides is used to manage a multitude of plant diseases above the soil throughout the growing season that can affect the yields of crops.

Soil drench applications are used to manage soil pathogens that affect the roots of plants and can provide systemic protection as well as crop health and enhancements.
