Kemin Industries, a global ingredient manufacturer, announced its new plant growth product Valena FLOW, a foliar nutrition solution designed to enhance nutrient uptake, improve disease resistance and boost yields.
Applied at the start of the growing season once the plant has true leaves, the solution’s beta-glucan molecules are recognized by pattern recognition receptors on plant tissues that activate and promote nutrient uptake, root growth, biomass and yield.

“We’ve tested Valena FLOW across a wide range of crops, regions, and growing conditions, and the results speak for themselves,” said Bridget Hatfield, technical services manager at Kemin Crop Technologies. The product works on crops, including berries, tomatoes, peppers, leafy greens, citrus, tree fruits, nuts, hops and greenhouse ornamentals.
Valena FLOW follows the success of Kemin Crop Technologies’ original dry Valena product, which was developed to improve soil for plant growth.
“We’re excited to bring this innovation to the nutritional agriculture market and help growers achieve more resilient, productive plants,” said Emily Fuerst, research and development director at Kemin Crop Technologies.
