On March 16, 2026, in California, the crop science company Stimera, formerly known as BioAge, has appointed Lon E. Kreger as its new Chief Executive Officer. Kreger is set to lead the company’s commercial expansion and strategic growth as Stimera aims to scale its molecular fertilizer platform globally. Meanwhile, founder Dr. Reuben R. Rampersad will remain as President, focusing on product development, formulation strategy, and innovation.
Stimera is currently working on patent-pending molecular foliar fertilizers that are designed to enhance nutrient efficiency and plant metabolism. Their main product, Nitro-Gro, seeks to modify the molecular structure of nutrient inputs to facilitate faster leaf absorption and improved nutrient transport within plants. The technology has shown promise in boosting yields by approximately 30%, shortening crop cycles by up to two weeks, and providing significant returns on investment for growers in the same season.
The company’s future plans involve expanding through partnerships with agricultural retailers, distributors, and manufacturing partners worldwide. With nearly 20 products in development and around 30% of them nearing commercialization, Stimera aims to establish a new category in crop nutrition through its molecular fertilizer platform.
Kreger has expressed that the company’s main focus will be on offering reliable and economically feasible solutions to help growers enhance productivity while reinforcing the agricultural supply chain.
