2025 News Updates to Date
With a focus on improving nutrient uptake and supporting soil health, CropBioLife took significant steps between March and June 2025 to expand its international presence, deepening partnerships across India and Australia. During this period, the team launched new field trials, engaged directly with growers and agricultural resellers, and introduced a drop shipping resale program to broaden access to its 100% natural foliar spray (drop shipping available in AU only at this time).
This article shares key updates from the CropBioLife team so far in 2025, reflecting our continued focus on innovation, collaboration, and supporting growers with better plant health solutions.
Viticulture Focus: National Grape Summit 2025 – Pune, India (March 2025)
CropBioLife participated in the National Grape Summit in Pune, hosted by the National Wine Research Centre. The event provided a platform to demonstrate how the foliar spray’s flavonoid compounds enhance nutrient uptake in vines, promoting healthier root systems, improved canopy development and better grape quality.
Key outcomes included:
In-person product demonstrations with growers and researchers
Panel participation by our very own Kevin Joyce, alongside the Director of the National Centre for Grape Research
Focus on sustainable viticulture, climate resilience and improved vine health
CropBioLife's contribution to vine nutrition was well received, particularly in the context of adapting to India’s changing climate conditions.
Strengthening Ag Reseller Networks – India (March 2025)
While in Pune, the CropBioLife team engaged with independent agricultural resellers, who are key distribution partners supporting farmers across the region. Discussions focused on how the product’s nutrient-enhancing capabilities can help farmers increase input efficiency and support long-term sustainability.
This on-ground engagement reflects CropBioLife’s commitment to working with trusted local partners to ensure practical outcomes for growers.
Dairy Sector Collaboration: Punjab Sindh Dairy Visit (March 2025)
As part of his March travels, Kevin visited Punjab Sindh Dairy in Mumbai (renowned for its high-quality sweets and flavoured milk) to observe how Aussan L44, a botanically derived, food-safe antimicrobial, is used in sanitation and milk handling.
Aussan L44 is developed by Aussan Laboratories, the manufacturer of CropBioLife.
This visit highlighted the broader capability of Aussan Laboratories in advancing natural solutions across the agricultural and food sectors. While Aussan L44 supports hygiene in processing environments, CropBioLife, also developed by parent company, Aussan Laboratories, enhances nutrient uptake in crops, providing farmers with tools to support both plant health and sustainable production outcomes across the supply chain.
Domestic Field Activity Across Australia (March–June 2025)
Seymour Alternative Farming Expo – March 2025
CropBioLife exhibited at Booth B55, connecting with growers and agronomists to demonstrate the impact of improved nutrient uptake on plant resilience and soil health. Attendees were particularly engaged by the product’s organic credentials and practical fit within existing spray programs.
Pasture Trial with Martin Royds – April 2025
Renowned regenerative farmer Martin Royds began trials at Jillamatong in Braidwood, NSW. The trial investigates the role of improved nutrient uptake in supporting root development and long-term pasture resilience under natural sequence farming systems.
Mareeba FNQ Rotary Field Days – May 2025
CropBioLife spent two days engaging growers in Far North Queensland, discussing plant health, drought resilience, fertiliser efficiency and crop profitability. The product’s role in reducing the amount of fertiliser inputs required and improving soil biology through supported root exudation received particular attention.
Farmacist Gordonvale Trials – June 2025
Farmacist Gordonvale began trials across sugarcane, sunflowers, tropical fruits, and pasture crops following the delivery of CropBioLife products. Extension Leader Belinda Billing and Graduate Agronomist Daniel Knowles are leading on-site trial implementation and data collection.
In response to increasing demand from resellers, CropBioLife launched a drop shipping resale program (available in AU only at this time). This initiative enables resellers to offer direct-to-farm delivery without managing inventory, increasing efficiency and improving product availability across Australia and international markets.
Ongoing Commitment to Sustainable Agriculture
Across vineyards, pastures, tropical farms and food production systems, CropBioLife continues to support growers with tools that enhance nutrient uptake, strengthen plant health and build long-term resilience. By collaborating with resellers, researchers and producers on the ground, our company ensures its natural, scientifically supported solutions remain relevant and effective.
