Targeted Nutrition That Lasts

Biologicals like Pivot Bio PROVEN 40 deliver season-long nitrogen at the root zone, while Corteva Utrisha N (Optinyte) enables foliar biological N fixation to buffer late-season demand. Guided by NDRE maps, SmartFirmer readings, and soil tests, these tools support variable-rate strategies matched to plant response.

Genetics Built for Resilience

Bayer SmartStax PRO combines Bt and RNAi to strengthen rootworm control, Short Stature Corn improves standability and enables late-season aerial passes, and Brevant seeds with Enlist technology deliver herbicide flexibility against tough spectrums across diverse rotations and geographies.

Modern Biocontrols With Precision

Vestaron Spear-Lep uses peptide chemistry to target lepidopterans with a profile friendlier to beneficials, while GreenLight Calantha applies RNA interference for species-specific control of Colorado potato beetle. Perennial and specialty operations rely on Semios to synchronize climate monitoring and smart trapping so applications land at the optimal moment. The fastest path to adoption is a disciplined side-by-side with clear checks and season-long sensing to quantify ROI and scale confidently.
