ADAMA Ltd. will distribute Groundwork BioAg’s Rootella mycorrhizal inoculant in the Chinese market.
This agreement builds on Groundwork BioAg’s introduction of Rootella to local distributors in China earlier this year, following the product’s approval for commercialization in 2023.
Rootella is a biostimulant based on strains of mycorrhizal fungi, beneficial for farmers growing vegetables, sugarcane, potato and row crops including cotton, corn and soybean.
This partnership builds on the success of similar collaborations between Groundwork BioAg and ADAMA in other major agricultural markets, including India, where the companies have successfully introduced mycorrhizal products tailored to local farming practices.
Groundwork BioAg’s representative office in Hainan province has been working with several local distributors following trials in corn, soybean, wheat, cotton and select specialty crops in 2023. ADAMA will offer Rootella to its farmer customers starting in the 2025 planting season.
