Corn
While much of the natural characteristics Beauveria bassiana offers can be substituted with other organisms through chemical applications or plant genetic modification, each has only a singular resolve. This is observed by contrasting organic farming with conventional practices. Corn yield and quality increased with both approaches. Organic without fungicides, pesticides, or application of foliar biocides demonstrated that organic corn provided 12- and 20-bushel difference compared to the conventional method of 4, thus increasing grower profits.
The use of Beauveria bassiana is a managerial practice that has significant benefits in today’s agriculture and gardening environment.
Corn is the number one crop grown in the U.S. Pre-treating seeds with our SPE-120 or SBb 2.5 products have produced stunning results in corn yield.
Increase Corn Yield
The Beauveria bassiana in SPE 120 and SBb 2.5 is a PLANT isolate and is considered beneficial fungi.
Seed and Soil Products Protect & Strengthen Plants as They Grow
Direct contact with seed is preferred to assure plant entry at germination. Applied on, under, or atop of seed allows Beauveria bassiana competitive preference to initial plant roots where it becomes a symbiotic entophyte within the plant.
