Growers transplanting vegetables from the greenhouse to the field now have an additional tool to prepare for the unexpected during critical periods of transplant stress. NewLeaf Symbiotics, a biological technology provider and global leader of PPFMs, is launching a specific-to-vegetable transplant (VT) biostimulant for 2026. NewLeaf’s VT Technology, registered Terrasym® VT, has demonstrated notable yield wins in a broad range of specialty crops, including strawberries, tomatoes and cucurbits. VT received California approval for use in late November 2025, making it now available in key U.S. geographies.

“NewLeaf VT technology is a combination of PPFM strains that work together to improve nutrient uptake and mitigate abiotic transplant stress to enhance seedling vigor,” says Aaron Kelley, Chief Commercial Officer of NewLeaf Symbiotics. “These plant benefits result in more fruit being harvested when compared with the grower standard practice as a control in trials.”
