Bio Ag E Program
This treatment is the main in-furrow program produced by Bio Ag Management. Products in this trial are Bio Ag E, BioMate, Lift off, and Soil Revive.
Program Products
- Bio Ag E (compost extract) 3 gal
- Soil Revive (complex bio-stimulant package) 7 oz. dry
- BioMate (simple bio-stimulant plus N-fixing bacteria) 6 oz. liquid
- Liftoff (plant growth hormones) 5 oz. liquid
- Endomycorrhizae spores (mycorrhizae fungi added to extract)
Program Benefits
- Bio Ag E is a diverse microbial inoculant focused on balancing the soil’s ecosystem
- Bio-stimulant package has been shown to stimulate the balance of all microorganisms
- Balanced biology = season-long plant nutrient increases

- A grower can expect to see efficiencies with applied N, P, and K fertilizers
- Growers should test applied fertilizers to rediscover their own fertility curves
- Consistent yield increases are shown, 68% of the time, with an average increase of 15 bushels
- Bio Ag E program, when coupled with soil health farming practices, has shown fast changes in soil organic matter
- Bio Ag E has a shelf life of 3-6 days. Once bio-stimulants are mixed at applications, shelf life goes down to 24 to 36 hours
Goals:
To test the main Bio Ag Management program against no treatment checks as well as other in-furrow programs.
Results:
In both plots the Bio Ag E program showed good yield and economic gains. In Plot One, the program showed a yield advantage of 13 bu/acre against the average of two checks — one on each side of the treatment area. Results were more drastic in Plot Two.
In Plot Two, the Bio Ag program had a 42 bu/acre increase versus the average of two checks on each side of the treatment area. Further research will go into pinpointing what physical and chemical characteristics in this plot led to such a large yield advantage to further guide customers on product placement.
