            rovensa Next launches "Biosolutionize Agriculture"

         the global leader in  biosolutions,  is
        launching Biosolutionize Agriculture,
        a science-backed campaign that show-
        cases how biosolutions help growers
        improve performance and profitability,
        reduce synthetic load and farm more
        sustainably across crops and climates
        worldwide.
