UMEÅ, July 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Corteva, a global pure-play agriculture company, and Arevo, a Swedish science-led crop nutrition company, have announced a partnership on Arginex Soy, Arevo’s seed applied crop nutrition system.
Corteva and Arevo Partner on Soy Crop Nutrition
Arginex Soy is an innovative arginine1-based seed treatment designed to strengthen root systems, increase nodulation and improve soybean performance, offering growers a new way to boost yields and crop resilience while advancing more sustainable production practices.
In soybeans, arginine helps stimulate the growth of root hairs, which are important for the formation of nodules where beneficial nitrogen-fixing bacteria take hold. This helps strengthen the plant’s natural ability to fix nitrogen and supports healthier root development and more efficient nutrient use from the earliest stages of growth.
Corteva is integrating the product, which is already available to farmers in Europe, into its soybean seed treatment portfolio to help get crops off to the best start.
The agreement follows a multi-stage technical evaluation assessing agronomic performance, formulation stability, and operational compatibility with Corteva’s existing soybean seed treatment portfolio.
The evaluation confirmed that Arginex Soy can deliver measurable crop performance benefits while fitting seamlessly into existing seed treatment processes, reducing barriers to adoption and enabling growers to access the technology through established commercial channels.
Leonardo Costa, EMEA Seed Applied Technologies Leader, Corteva Agriscience, said: "Rigorous evaluation has confirmed that Arginex Soy delivers the consistency and formulation stability required for Corteva’s seed applied technologies. This enables seamless integration into existing systems and provides farmers with a practical solution to support early crop establishment and improve nutrient use efficiency from the start."
Niklas Åström, Chief Executive Officer, Arevo, said: "Being selected following this level of technical evaluation is an important milestone for Arevo. It confirms that Arginex can be integrated into established seed platforms."
1 Arginine is an organic nitrogen source that plants absorb preferentially. Combined with phosphate, it forms a stable compound designed to remain available in the root zone over time.
