2019 ASHS Annual Conference

Seedworx BioSA, comprised of a blend of Bacillus amloliquefaciens and B. subtillis and Seedworx BioMA, comprised of a blend of Bacillus amloliquefaciens & B. methyltrophicus have had widespread testing and adoption within the broad acre seed markets, corn and soybean. With multiple years of locational testing within the Midwest, Seedworx BioSA and BioMA have shown yield enhancements under stressed conditions for those respective crops. Recent testing & trialing of Seedworx BioSA upon horticultural crops such as Leafy Greens, Brassica & Solanaceae crops by independent seed companies have seen improved plant health and yields. While the adaptation of biological seed treatments within the broad acre crops has been well accepted by growers, horticultural crop growers are gaining greater exposure to the benefits of bio-based seed treatments and opportunities to incorporate them into their cultural practices, namely the organic segment of the market.
