- Can mix with starter fertilizer but we prefer to use it as a stand-alone program run with water
- Extremely cost effective as a complete biological program
- Very consistent over the last two years of plots and grower trials. Yield gains observed have ranged from 6 to 24 bushels, with an average of 12 bushels per acre
- Biovante’s Root Exudate Program was more consistent in producing ROI than nitrogen-fixing bacteria in our 2020 plots
Results:
The Root Exudate program had good results in both plots. Plot One showed an increase of 17 bu/ac and Plot Two showed an increase of 26 bu/ac — an increase when compared to the average of checks on each side of the treatment area. The Root Exudate Program offers a good balance between ease of use and consistency. While the Root Exudate Program may not have the biological diversity and density of the Bio Ag E program, the balance between effective biostimulants and biology can increase yields, and the shelf life of BioFlex makes it a good option.
$12.50 to $13.33 per acre depending on payment period
