A Family of Unique Products

A stress mitigation product that doubles as a food source for microbes, including:
→ Ecklonia Maxima (Seaweed kelp extract)
→ Corn steep liquor

Exciting reformulation for 2025! SugarKick just received a major KICK!
→ We have replaced the molasses based sugar with corn steep liquor (CSL), a byproduct of wet-milling corn to extract starch.
→ CSL is rich in amino acids, vitamins and minerals, enzymes and organic acids.
→ CSL is the #1 additive for microbial growth media in the development of drugs such as penicillin and food production of yeasts for dough and alcohol.

Reduced carbon penalty
→ When soil applied, both components of SugarKick act as a food source for soil microbial populations which can speed up decomposition and nutrient release leading to higher yields
Increased yields with improved stalk health & standability
→ Statistical yield increases when sugar was applied in-furrow followed by V5
   • University of Illinois

Stress Mitigation
→ Seaweed kelp extract contains powerful bioactive compounds that help mitigate crop stress Increases in beneficial insects when applied foliar
→ When applied foliar, “70% higher beneficial insect populations in sugar treated plots”
   • University of Nebraska

SugarKick can be used on all crops both soil applied with starter or UAN at sidedress and as a foliar additive to both herbicide and fungicide applications.

Soybean based amino acid fluency agent
→ This soy-protein derived from dehulling soybeans was developed as an alternative seed lubricant with benefits over traditional talc/graphite
Terrasym, proven to increase yields!
→ A Beck’s PFR Proven biological hopper box additive included in HopperSTART CN!

Increased Yield & ROI!
→ Terrasym, tested in Beck’s Practical Farm Research Program, is a Beck’s PFR Proven product, demonstrating a 3.8 bu./A. yield increase over 3 years of testing. In the three years of testing, yield increases ranged from 2.7 bu./A. to 4.6 bu./A.
→ Terrasym improves nutrient uptake by increasing early season root mass. This leads to a plant with enhanced abiotic stress tolerance.
The soybean based amino acid fluency agent is superior to talc and graphite in several ways:
→ Significant reduction in dust generated compared to talc
→ Greatly reduced release of neonicotinoids in the environment, saving bees and enhancing natural pollination
→ Comparable flowability and singulation to commercially available seed lubricants

It’s a source of Amino Acids
→ Soy protein is an ideal source of amino acids, which promotes better seed germination and biological activity in the furrow

Terrasym, proven to increase yields!

Increased Yield & ROI!
→ Terrasym contains beneficial microbes specifically selected for soybeans and has proven to increase yield
→ Contains beneficial microbes called pink pigmented facultative methylotrophs (M-trophs), specially selected for use in soybeans.
→ Enhances soybean root area by 2.9%, root depth by +5.6% and root tips by +2.4%
→ Enhances nutrient uptake and plant efficiency, including a 19.4% increase in iron

It’s a source of Amino Acids
→ Soy protein is an ideal source of amino acids, which promotes better seed germination and biological activity in the furrow

→ An industry leading soybean based amino acid hopper box seed lubricant system superior to talc and graphite with additional benefits
→ Microbial consortium including 8 synergistic strains with a total CFU count of 300 billion
→ All 8 microbe strains are concentrated to 6.8 x 10(9) cfu/g
→ The microbes adhere to the seeds very similar to how talc and graphite do, via static electricity

Higher Yield!!
→ This unique biological consortium with the highest CFU count in a soybean based amino acid fluency agent is outyielding competitive products!
→ 300b CFU’s is 6.5 x’s more CFU’s than a leading competitor!
Provides season-long microbial nutrient release
→ Includes both N-Fixing and P-solubilizing microbes

Numerically and statistically faster emergence at VE and 2 days after VE than graphite and talc as well as a leading competitor product.

HopperSTART BioCN demonstrated improved NDVI (amount of plant mass) at 21 days after emergence compared to both the control and to the leading competitive product.

Longer shelf-life than competitive products!
→ It is not hours to days like many products. HopperSTART BioCN brings with it a 2-year shelf-life due to its unique selection process. HopperSTARTBioCN microbes are selected specifically for each crop and extracted from the soil to get the “parent” microbe. They are then “put to sleep” and sent off to be encapsulated into the soybean fluency agent. They remain “asleep” until coming into contact with soil and moisture.

Greatly reduced release of neonicotinoids in the environment versus graphite/talc, saving bees and enhancing natural pollination

→ An industry leading soybean based amino acid hopper box seed lubricant system superior to talc and graphite with additional benefits
→ Contains a complete Bradyrhizobium inoculant
→ Microbial consortium including 8 synergistic strains with a total CFU count of 300 billion
→ All 8 microbe strains are concentrated to 6.8 x 10(9) cfu/g
→ The microbial consortium is conveniently impregnated in the soy-based lubricant for pour and go ease of use

Higher Yield!!
→ This unique biological consortium with the highest CFU count in a soybean based amino acid fluency agent is outyielding competitive products!
→ 300b CFU’s is nearly 8 x’s more CFU’s than a leading competitor!
→ Up to 6 bu./A. better than talc/graphite alone! (see data at right)
Provides season-long microbial nutrient release

Hopperstart BioSB biologicals improved the % stand in the first 21 days after emergence!
→ When comparing our BioSB biological consortium in either graphite and talc or our amino acid soybean fluency agent, the biologicals improved emergence and final stand in both, although slightly better in the amino acid soybean base product. (see data at right)
Improved crop vigor at V4!
→ HopperSTART BioSB consistently had the best vigor ratings when comparing it to graphite/talc alone or graphite/talc + biologicals.
Longer shelf-life than competitive products!
→ It is not hours to days like many products. HopperSTART BioSB brings with it a 2-year shelf-life due to its unique selection process

A uniquely formulated residue decomposition product that has been developed specifically to accelerate the breakdown of residue. It contains highly available food sources for soil microbes and a “sticker” to help the spray solution remain on the crop residue.

Why use Breakdown™? Because that’s what it does…
→ Beneficial micro algae included!
   • A full spectrum source of soil microbe food, even more effective than fulvic acid.
   • Biochemically and nutritionally richer L-form amino acids with consistency of analysis.

→ Bacillus Bacteria species included to accelerate nutrient recycling
   • Enhanced degradation of crop residue, specifically the lignin and carbohydrates, decreases the carbon penalty leading to a positive yield response

→ Improved planting efficiency and accuracy
   • Less residue “hair-pinning” improves plant spacing, creating a more uniform crop with higher yield potential

An ethylene reduction product that fends off abiotic stresses that can affect future yield potential, while improving nutrient uptake.

Re-establishes hormonal balance
→ When plant stress occurs, ethylene (stress hormone) levels rise in the plant, decreasing positive growth hormones. Revive brings your plants back to hormonal balance by decreasing ethylene.
   • Abiotic stress (i.e.: cold, heat, excessive rain, drought)

Facilitates recovery from injury
→ Abiotically stressed or injured plants will recover quicker after an application of Revive
   • Physical damage (i.e.: Hail, Frost, mechanical injury)

Facilitates Nitrogen uptake
→ Both Molybdenum and Cobalt help make field applied nitrogen plant available by helping the root system fix N
