Seedbiotics coating shines in university study

Legume seeds are a very large part of Seedbiotics coating business.

Legumes are those plants that use soil-borne bacteria called rhizobia top feed them nitrogen from the air. The bacteria set up colonies called nodules in the roots of legumes, and secrete pure, nitrogen as part of their metabolic processes.

Seedbiotics coating contains very large doses, or inoculation, of the right strains of rhizobia. The right strain for alfalfa (a legume) for instance can make a dramatic difference in the growth of a plant and the yield of a crop.

Texas A&M University compared Seedbiotics' N-Hance coating with the alternate means of inoculation to measure the effectiveness of coating. At the end of 33 days, the number of nodules per plant increased from 6 to 35 with N-Hance and from 117 to 349 at 5 months. Do these nodules make a difference? 

The first harvest showed a yield increase from 786 pounds of alfalfa hay per acre to over 2,000 pounds, an increase of 154 percent. Data regarding this research is available on request.
