MBR acquires RhizUp inoculants

Becker Underwood, Inc., announces the acquisition of the RhizUp brand of inoculants from Eco Soil Systems, Inc. The acquisition includes the RhizUp brand, licenses, labels, and all production and marketing rights. RhizUp granular and liquid inoculants provide beneficial organisms to peas, lentils and beans, offering growers the opportunity to reduce the use of chemical pesticides and mineral fertilizers.

In August of 2000, Becker Underwood acquired UK-based Micro Bio, Ltd., and MBR in Saskatoon, Canada, and their line of bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides. Today the company specializes in the discovery, scale-up fermentation and formulation of a variety of products based on naturally occurring microorganisms that help maximize yield and protect plants from pests and disease.

Murray Trapp, managing director of MBR in Saskatoon will also direct the production and marketing of the RhizUp line. “We are extremely pleased to add a product that will broaden the proven bio-solutions we offer the market,” he said.
