Rivière-du-Loup, Canada – September 8, 2025 – Premier Tech Growers and Consumers is proud to share that all AGTIV^® granular inoculants feature Premier Tech peat granules, a testament to the company’s full integration of the production process of our finished goods. By mastering every step—from peat harvesting to granule manufacturing—Premier Tech ensures high standards, with consistent availability and results that growers across North America rely on.

“The development of this granule emphasizes Premier Tech’s commitment as a reliable and trusted partner for agriculture stakeholders,” says  Marc Béland, Agriculture Senior Director – North America. “I’m extremely proud of our team members who have delivered on the challenge to add this important piece to the puzzle of autonomy and control over our inputs and products.” 

The Premier Tech peat granules have undergone rigorous testing and validation through third-party trials and on-farm applications, ensuring their performance in the field. Their key benefits include:

• Easy Flow and Application: Low-dust and robust, they maintain their integrity during handling and application. Their consistent particle size ensures smooth operation and precise placement in the furrow, offering growers peace of mind during planting.
• Guaranteed Biological Viability: Thanks to the natural structure of Sphagnum peat moss, the granules retain moisture, preserving the viability of active ingredients right up to seeding.
• Reliable Supply and Performance: With complete ownership of the process, Premier Tech guarantees high-quality products proven to perform in real-world conditions.

Premier Tech peat granules have already been successfully used on farms in North America over the last years, demonstrating their reliability and the trust growers have in them. Craig Davidson, President and Founding Partner of Taurus Ag Marketing, emphasizes the importance of this integration: “We love when strong agronomics and reliable logistics come together. With Premier Tech producing their own peat granules and being a global leader in peat, we trust the quality and consistency in every bag. It’s what makes AGTIV^® a top choice for progressive farms across millions of acres, delivering the best-handling granule and preserving biology all the way to the field.”

Building on over 90 years of expertise in peat management and more than 40 years in biological active ingredients innovation, Premier Tech continues to deliver reliable products while driving the development of effective solutions for agriculture.
