JERRY STOLLER
Stoller Founder

October 1, 1935 – June 19, 2019

Jerry Stoller will be remembered as an entrepreneur and a revolutionary pioneer in plant physiology, plant nutrition, and plant hormone technology with more than 45 years of production agriculture experience and plant nutrition expertise commissioned for both public and private projects around the world working with virtually all crops, from coffee to corn.

In the early 1990s, Stoller began researching the genetic expression of plants. The revolutionary approach produced from this research takes the guesswork out of maintaining healthy crops through the management of plant hormone levels and micronutrients throughout the plant growth cycle, maintaining optimum hormone balance. Through this process, maximum genetic expression is achieved, resulting in healthier plants better able to withstand the effects of stress under various conditions.

Stoller supervised the conduction of research and studies of various crops under numerous growing conditions. He brought this wealth of research knowledge and experience when combating the problems faced by growers in the United States.
