Products

Jumpstart

Tagteam
TagTeam is the phosphate and nitrogen inoculant. On soils low to medium in available phosphate and nitrogen, TagTeam will deliver a healthy vigorous crop and excellent nitrogen fixation for higher yields. TagTeam has two active ingredients: the naturally occurring soil fungus Penicillium bilai, which solubilizes mineral forms of less available residual soil phosphate making them immediately available for crop use; and the naturally occurring bacterium Rhizobium leguminosarum, which forms root nodules that convert or fix nitrogen from the air into forms the plants can use. TagTeam, the world's first combination microbial seed inoculant, was discovered and developed in Western Canada through collaborative Agriculture Canada and Philom Bios research.

N-prove
N-Prove is the nitrogen inoculant. On soils low in available nitrogen and high in available phosphate, N-Prove will deliver excellent nitrogen fixation and higher yields. The active ingredients in N-Prove, naturally occurring rhizobia bacteria, colonize legume plant roots and form root nodules that convert or fix nitrogen from the air into forms the plants can use.
