New Edge Microbials (NEM) has formed a partnership with Lallemand Plant Care, the global biocontrol and biofertilizer business unit of Lallemand Inc.

Lallemand Plant Care develops and markets microorganism-based products for biocontrol, biostimulation and biofertilization, with operations in North America, South America and Europe.

Under this exclusive partnership, NEM will introduce an extensive range of Lallemand products to the market, starting with field trials in 2024 and leading to a steady stream of new product launches from 2025 onwards.

NEM is majority Australian-owned, and regionally based (Wodonga, Victoria). The collaboration with Lallemand will expand NEM’s range of biological inputs, bringing key distribution partners a broader range of science-based biological products for farmer clients.

The partnership includes sharing of intellectual property, and ongoing innovation and new product development. It will also leverage NEM’s new factory and logistics facility in Wodonga which has expanded the company’s product development, formulation, fermentation, production, and logistics capacities.
