Over recent weeks, the EMEA region has experienced a wide range of extreme weather events. These include above‑average torrential rainfall across the Mediterranean, polar cold spells in Eastern Europe (notably Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary), heavy snowfall affecting Turkey as well as Central and Western Europe. At the same time, December ranked among the warmest and wettest in South‑West UK. As a result, numerous red and yellow weather warnings were issued across the region.
Such intense winter conditions place significant stress on crops, creating challenges such as flooding, excessive humidity, and frost damage, all of which impact productivity. For example, according to the latest USDA report, Turkey’s citrus sector is facing major challenges in the 2025/2026 season, with lemon and orange production down by 35% and 15% respectively.
At Acadian Plant Health™, we offer a next-generation portfolio of plant biostimulants featuring a complex mix of biomarkers that are helping to transform agriculture across EMEA through science-based biological solutions. Our current Crop Productivity Management (CPM) solutions help to improve crop health by strengthening plants from within, helping them cope with stress. Building on this foundation, we are now bringing a new portfolio to the market, Abiotic Stress Management (ASM), developed with an innovative Mode of Action specially designed to help combat abiotic stress, build resilience and mitigate the agronomic impact of extreme conditions.
At the heart of these innovative solutions are biomarkers derived from Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed extracts, combined with powerful next-generation anti-stress compounds to create a unique formulation. This state-of-the-art combination targets specific environmental stressors, boosting crop resilience and adaptability. By activating key physiological pathways, these solutions support crop in maintaining performance under pressure, offering a sustainable approach to protect yield as weather patterns become increasingly unpredictable.
The ASM portfolio brings together highly effective biological compounds formulated to target and counter key crop stressors. Designed for specialty and arable crops across diverse soils and climates in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, this new portfolio supports crops through three distinct stages:
Primes plants during early growth stages against abiotic stress, ensuring crop establishment with increased root and shoot biomass.
Protects crops against abiotic stress to maintain crop growth vigour to secure crop yield, quality, and ROI, ensuring crop resilience with preventative applications during suboptimal conditions.
Cures and aids crop growth with reparative activity after stress conditions - securing crop yield, quality and ROI.
Rather than providing a short‑lived boost, these solutions trigger a cascade of internal plant responses that help crops maintain function and vitality during prolonged stress. To further enhance performance, ASM formulations are enriched with powerful antistress active ingredients that increase efficacy against specific environmental pressures. This dual-action approach allows ASM products to address precise challenges when crops need support most.
Developed by a team of biological crop input experts, this breakthrough formulation technology ensures stability, efficacy, and high compatibility that seamlessly integrates with existing crop protection programs and nutrient schedules. This is a critical advantage as growers across EMEA seek integrated, resilient solutions to meet today’s increasingly volatile climate conditions.
