Abstract: Modern agricultural systems are increasingly reliant on inputs and technological developments from private industry. In recent years, there has been a rapid growth in the market for inputs (seed treatments and inoculants, foliar sprays, etc.) derived from biological (especially microbial) origins, so-called biological products. Farmer use of these emerging technologies and farmer advisors views of these products have not been systematically investigated. We report an exploratory effort to understand this emerging market and agricultural stakeholders perspectives on these new products. This research revealed significant communication and information disconnects between agricultural stakeholders and the farmers with whom they work.
