Inocucor uses a patented fermentation process to combine multi-strains of bacteria and yeasts into powerful soil and plant optimizers that are safe for people and the environment. Growers in Canada and the U.S. are using Inocucor’s first two biostimulatory products to naturally improve crop yields, shorten growing periods and produce healthier, more resilient soils.
Sturm holds an MBA from Emory University’s Goizueta Business School and a B.S. in Industrial Engineering from Purdue University.
