Description
PhycoTerra® ST is an innovative, award-winning seed treatment that feeds beneficial microbes in the spermosphere—the critical zone where your seed first interacts with the soil. By delivering a unique mode of action through an advanced microalgal formulation, PhycoTerra® ST coats the seed with a high-quality carbon source, nourishing the microbes on and around the germinating seed. This targeted approach improves the small soil zone surrounding the seed, creating an environment that enhances stand establishment, seedling vigor, and yield optimization.
Key Benefits
Supports Soil Microbial Activity
PhycoTerra® ST activates the beneficial microbes in the spermosphere, which is essential for promoting plant health, growth, and development during and after germination. By waking up bacteria and fungi early in the season, PhycoTerra® ST helps support your crop throughout the growing season, leading to more robust and resilient plants.
- Microbial Activation: The seed treatment boosts microbial activity around the seed, enhancing the plant's ability to establish and thrive from the earliest stages of development.
Optimizes Seed with Yield Potential
By supercharging the region around the seed, PhycoTerra® ST optimizes the interaction between the germinating seed and soil microbial communities. This activation is critical for early vigor, root-structure development, and stand establishment, all contributing to unlocking the seed's full yield potential.
- Yield Enhancement: PhycoTerra® ST delivers increased yield results by creating a favorable environment for seed germination and early growth, leading to more robust crop performance.
Low Application Rates with High ROI
PhycoTerra® ST is applied at low rates, making it a cost-effective solution for growers. Even with minimal application, it consistently delivers a significant return on investment (ROI), with yield increases as small as half to three bushels per acre, providing noticeable financial benefits.
- Cost-Effective: The product's low application rates allow growers to achieve substantial returns without significant upfront costs, making PhycoTerra® ST a smart investment.
Easy to Apply
PhycoTerra® ST integrates seamlessly into existing seed treatment programs. The product is pasteurized, shelf-stable, and requires minimal storage, making it easy to use and highly convenient for growers.
- Simple Integration: PhycoTerra® ST mixes well with standard seed treatment blends, inoculants, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and nematicides, allowing easy application without requiring specialized equipment.
Applications
PhycoTerra® ST is versatile and can be applied to a wide range of crops, including:
- Commodity Crops: Corn, soybeans, winter wheat, spring wheat, canola, cotton, rice, and peanuts.
- Cover Crops: Various cover crops improve soil health and sustainability.
PhycoTerra® ST is compatible with:
- Inoculants: Enhances the effectiveness of microbial inoculants for better crop establishment.
- Standard Crop Inputs: Mixes well with herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, nematicides, and other seed treatment products.
- Seed Treatment Blends: Easily integrates with existing seed treatment programs for seamless application.
Pro Tip
For optimal results, ensure that the pH of PhycoTerra® ST is above 6.0 before adding live inoculants or other live biological products. This pH adjustment maximizes the effectiveness of the seed treatment and ensures the best possible outcomes for your crop.
