UNMATCHED COVERAGE, GAME-CHANGING RESULTS
The patented BIO-CAPSULE™ Technology has been a key component in helping thousands of farmers drive results across millions of acres.
BIO-CAPSULE = MORE LIVE CELLS PER SEED
To confirm even product distribution, seed lubricant plus the Terrasym® biological was applied per grower standard practice. Ag Ingenuity Partners’ agronomists collected seed samples at various progress points during planting (20%, 50%, and 80% completion). New Leaf Symbiotics scientists assessed the seed samples to confirm the living microbes found in Terrasym products were evenly distributed across large-scale commercial fields. Over 10,000 live cells per seed were found at each stage of planting, 10x more than traditional applications.*

EMERGENCE – PLANT COUNT
The objective was to evaluate the emergence of soybeans planted using BIO-CAPSULE Technology to deliver Metalaxyl and strains of Bacillus compared to the current grower standard F&I liquid seed treatment.
Emergence and plant count was similar between the BIO-CAPSULE application and standard F&I application, observed across environments.

V4 GROWTH – STAGE PLANT MASS
The objective was to evaluate the emergence of early-season growth of soybeans planted using BIO-CAPSULE Technology to deliver Metalaxyl and strains of Bacillus compared to the current grower standard F&I liquid seed treatment.
Plant mass at the V4 growth stage was similar between the BIO-CAPSULE application and standard F&I application, observed across environments.
