07 A team in the ag biologicals industry has released new field data showing its products support increased soybean yields. Jord BioScience, which provides customizable microbial solutions for agriculture, recently released two years of field trial data showing its products perform better than other industry-standard soybean treatments. Jord works to enhance existing microbial products. “For the past two years, Jord has studied five microbial leads in soybean seed treatments to identify biological ingredients that can spur emergence, plant health and yield,” the organization said in a press release. The work started in 2022 for farmers to trial in 2023 and 2024. Across 16 locations in Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota and Illinois, Jord’s innovations “delivered yield increases of 1.4 bushels to 3.1 bushels per acre during both the drought-affected 2023 season and the wet 2024 season,” the press release says. Jord’s inoculants are supported by the company’s 6,500-isolate global microbial bank. And the company works to identify how microbes work together to enhance activity in the soil. “In two drastically different growing seasons, our microbial leads consistently delivered yield improvements and high win rates—even in high-yield environments where biologicals rarely show ROI,” said Andrea Arias, Jord’s vice president of Data Science and Crop Testing. “This consistency is a gamechanger for growers seeking reliable biological crop protection.” | pag NEW FIELD DATA FROM JORD BIOSCIENCE Yield Data Shows Increased Soybean Yields Across the Midwest DIEGO FLAMMINI FARMS.COM “IN TWO DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT GROWING SEASONS, OUR MICROBIAL LEADS CONSISTENTLY DELIVERED YIELD IMPROVEMENTS AND HIGH WIN RATES—EVEN IN HIGH-YIELD ENVIRONMENTS WHERE BIOLOGICALS RARELY SHOW ROI.” PHOTO: starlineart – stock.adobe.com
