Programme

What a programme actually contains.

A programme is four decisions, three measurements and one untreated strip, scored by the AI platform and signed by an agronomist. The products are the smallest part of it.

Step 01

Assessment before sale

One field in five is advised not to buy.

Step 02

Programme sheet

Rates, windows, compatibility.

Step 03

Application support

Tank order and water quality matter.

Step 04

Measured, not assumed

Treated versus untreated, every season.

Field assessment

A soil test, a penetrometer transect and last season's yield map. This is where roughly one field in five is told that drainage, lime or compaction work will beat any biological input available.

Deliverable: written field assessment

Programme design

Product selection, rates, application windows and the compatibility check against the existing spray plan. Each product has to justify its place or it is removed from the quote.

Deliverable: programme sheet with rates and windows

Application support

Tank order, water quality, nozzle and timing guidance, plus a call before the first application. Most disappointing results trace back to this step, not to the biology.

Deliverable: application card per product

Measurement

Stand counts, tissue tests, harvest data from the treated and untreated strips, and a written season review that states plainly whether the programme paid.

Deliverable: season review with strip comparison

Compatibility

Seed treatment compatibility, published

Viable count retained after four hours of contact at 68 °F, measured on RhizoSet SC 04. Anything below 60% is refused.

Partner chemistry	Class	Count retained	Status
Prothioconazole	Triazole	91%	Compatible
Fludioxonil	Phenylpyrrole	88%	Compatible
Sedaxane	SDHI	73%	Compatible, apply within 48 hours
Thiram	Dithiocarbamate	34%	Not compatible
Copper oxychloride	Inorganic	21%	Not compatible

Label specifications

Four products, four jobs, no overlap.

Every specification below is the label specification. Concentrations are release values verified per batch; rates are the registered range, not a marketing range. If a field does not meet the stated condition, the product will underperform and we would rather say so here.

01 · RS-04

RhizoSet SC 04

Seed and in-furrow suspension concentrate

RhizoSet is the entry point of most programmes because it works in the two weeks that decide the season. Two Bacillus strains and one fluorescent Pseudomonas colonise the seminal root surface within 72 hours of imbibition, competing with early damping-off pressure and releasing siderophores that keep iron available in high-pH soils. It is a colonisation product, not a nutrient product: it does not replace a starter fertiliser and will not compensate for a poor seedbed.

Seed-appliedIn-furrow compatibleCereals, corn, soy, canola

CompositionBacillus amyloliquefaciens CB-114, B. subtilis CB-207, Pseudomonas fluorescens CB-33

Concentration2.0 × 10⁹ CFU/mL at release, minimum 1.2 × 10⁹ CFU/mL at end of shelf life

Rate2.4–4.0 fl oz per hundredweight of seed, or 20 fl oz/acre in-furrow with 4–8 gal water

TimingAt treatment or at planting; treated seed must be planted within 14 days

Field conditionSoil pH 5.5–7.5, soil temperature above 46 °F at planting

Packaging1 gal, 2.5 gal, 5 gal HDPE with induction seal and batch-coded neck

Storage40–77 °F, out of direct sun, 18 months from the fill date on the shoulder label

02 · TC-12

TerraCore WG 12

Water-dispersible granule for soil establishment

TerraCore addresses phosphorus that is present in the soil but not available to the crop. It pairs arbuscular mycorrhizal propagules with two phosphate-solubilising bacterial strains that lower the pH of the immediate root micro-environment. The response is largest on fields with an Bray-P between 12 and 25 ppm and a history of intensive tillage; on high-P soils with recent manure applications, we tell growers to expect little and often advise against the spend.

Soil-appliedTank-mix stableNot for use with soil fungicides

CompositionRhizophagus irregularis, Funneliformis mosseae, Bacillus megaterium CB-51, Pseudomonas putida CB-77

Concentration120 infective propagules per gram, verified by MPN bioassay per batch

Rate1.3–2.7 lb/acre depending on Bray-P index and row spacing

TimingFrom planting to V6; earliest contact with root tissue gives the strongest colonisation

Field conditionSoil temperature above 54 °F, moist seedbed, no soil-applied fungicide within 10 days

Packaging3 lb and 22 lb foil-lined sacks with desiccant

StorageBelow 86 °F, dry, 24 months unopened; use within 30 days of opening

03 · SG-07

StomaGuard EC 07

Foliar emulsifiable concentrate for stress windows

StomaGuard is applied before a forecast stress event, not after it. Seaweed-derived osmolytes and free amino acids support turgor maintenance and reduce the duration of stomatal closure during heat and short-term water deficit. Applied after visible wilting, the measured effect is close to zero — which is why the label, the agronomy team and the readiness tool all push the same 3-to-7-day lead time. It is compatible with most foliar programmes but must go into the tank last.

FoliarForecast-timedMaximum three applications per season

CompositionAscophyllum nodosum extract, glycine betaine, L-proline, potassium complex

Concentration7% w/v active osmolyte fraction

Rate14–27 fl oz/acre in 20–40 gal water

Timing3–7 days ahead of a forecast heat or moisture event, maximum three per season

Field conditionWater EC below 1.2 dS/m, apply below 77 °F, tank order last

Packaging2.5 gal and 5 gal with measuring neck

Storage41–86 °F, protect from frost, 24 months

04 · RP-03

ResiduePrime WP 03

Post-harvest wettable powder for residue breakdown

ResiduePrime is the least glamorous product in the line and the one that changes the following season most reliably. Two Trichoderma species and a cellulolytic Bacillus accelerate the breakdown of cereal and corn residue, returning nitrogen to the following crop earlier and cutting the green bridge for stubble-borne disease. It needs moisture: on dry standing stubble with no rain in the forecast, the application should be delayed rather than wasted.

Post-harvestNeeds residue moisture above 20%Listed for organic production

CompositionTrichoderma harzianum CB-19, T. viride CB-22, Bacillus licheniformis CB-64

Concentration1.0 × 10⁹ CFU/g total viable count at release

Rate1.8 lb/acre in 25–40 gal water, medium to coarse droplets

TimingWithin 21 days of harvest, ideally onto freshly chopped residue

Field conditionResidue moisture above 20%, soil above 46 °F, rain expected within 7 days

Packaging2 kg and 10 kg water-soluble inner bags

StorageBelow 77 °F, dry, 12 months from the fill date

Strain identifiers, batch CFU certificates and safety data sheets are issued with each consignment. Products are supplied only where nationally registered; the current register covers Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Indiana and Ohio. Nothing on this page constitutes a yield guarantee.
