Less Stress with BioRise® 360 ST Seed Treatment

To help protect corn from annual agronomic stress, consideration should be given to treating seed with BioRise^® 360 ST Seed Treatment. BioRise^® 360 ST Seed Treatment is a bio- enhancer available on select Channel^® Brand corn products through BioRise^® Corn Offerings. The Lipo-chitooligosaccharide (LCO) technology in this product stimulates the germination of beneficial mycorrhizal fungi spores.

Mycorrhizal fungi colonize plant roots and form an expansive filament (hyphae) network that increases functional root volume. The mycelial network of fungi, extending from the corn roots, search and absorb nutrients and moisture in soil areas that corn roots never reach. The ability for plants to overcome abiotic stress is a direct correlation to the soil health benefits of mycorrhizal fungi.¹ Mycorrhizal fungi can expedite the decomposition process of soil organic matter which influences soil structure and texture.² Studies have shown that BioRise^® 360 ST Seed Treatment increased mycorrhizal colonization by 85.1% and increased yield potential.³
