Products

Root-applied microbial nitrogen inoculant for corn

A formulated living microbial inoculant designed to colonize corn roots and supply a portion of crop nitrogen needs over the season, enabling partial replacement of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer.

Root-applied microbial inoculant variants for wheat and small grains

Formulated microbial inoculant variants targeted to spring and winter wheat and other small grains to provide consistent root-localized nitrogen and improve predictability and ROI.

Seed-integrated microbial nitrogen inoculant for cereals

Microbial products integrated with seed at planting to deliver nitrogen-fixing microbes directly with the seed for early root colonization across crops such as corn, sorghum and spring wheat.


Services
