Biology That Works All Season

Your yield isn’t made in one stage or one moment. It’s built all season, from the seed you plant to the stubble you leave behind.

At planting, biology goes to work around the seed for a stronger start. As roots dig in, biology helps them pull more nutrients from the soil. As the canopy fills out, it keeps leaves healthy and reduces stressors. After harvest, it breaks down residue faster, turning last year’s stalks into next year’s nutrients and fields that are ready to plant come spring.

Four stages, one system. Each one sets up the next.

Scientists refer to these stages as the spermosphere, rhizosphere, phyllosphere, and detritusphere. We call them the four spheres of opportunity.

Get a full understanding of each sphere by downloading our white paper: The Four Spheres of Influence on Every Farm.

In it you’ll learn:

  • Around 75% of the bacteria and fungi in farm soils are inactive due to a lack of food.
  • Feeding farm microbiology in one sphere benefits the rest. Seed, root, leaf, and residue all support each other.
  • Feeding microbiology has been shown to produce notable yield improvements across a wide range of crops.
