WHEN FERTILITY PLANS CHANGE, CROP STRESS SHOWS UP FAST
When nutrient availability falls behind crop demand, stress shows up fast. That's where Microbial Catalyst® works, helping the crop access more of what's already in the system when it matters most.
This shows up across crops, including corn and soybeans, especially when demand spikes mid-season.
Growth Through Stress
More Available Nutrients
Reduce Wet Grain
Microbial Catalyst products are versatile liquid products that can be applied as a foliar application any time after emergence and all the way up to the final fungicide application.
Simply add 1 pint/acre to your tank mix. Microbial Catalyst technology is compatible to mix with liquid fertilizer, fungicide, herbicide or insecticide.
HELP CROPS HANDLE STRESS BETTER
Stress often shows up when nutrient demand rises faster than availability, especially under tighter fertility plans.
A foliar application of Microbial Catalyst activates biology within the existing soil-plant systems, helping release and cycle nutrients already present.
​
This foliar pass helps crops:
-
Grow more consistently
-
Stay productive under stress
-
Get more from applied nutrients
-
Stand stronger in tough weather
-
Deliver drier grain at harvest
-
Protect yield potential
​
A foliar pass isn't about adding more, it's about keeping the crop moving when demand spikes. When the plant is under stress, nutrient availability and uptake can fall behind. That's where Microbial Catalyst helps stabilize performance.
Generate is a versatile liquid product that can be incorporated in-furrow or applied foliar any time after emergence and all the way up to the final fungicide application. Simply add 1 pint/acre to your tank mix. Generate is compatible to mix with liquid fertilizer, fungicide, herbicide or insecticide.
RESEARCH PROVEN
​REDUCE WET GRAIN
With some of the wettest growing conditions on record one year, Microbial Catalyst was put to the test at harvest. A research trial conducted in Pelican Rapids, Minnesota determined that the addition of Microbial Catalyst showed higher yield and test weight, and reduced grain moisture for lower drying costs over the check.
​
Results showed:
-
Microbial Catalyst increased yield by 11.1 bu/acre
-
Microbial Catalyst corn was on average 3.5 lbs./bu heavier and 2.5% dryer
-
Economic return was $74.65 when taking into consideration yield, drying cost and product cost
PREVENT STALK LODGING
Straight line winds in Pipestone, Minnesota took a toll on the majority of crops one year. But field evaluations showed that Microbial Catalyst treated crops were better able to withstand high wind stress and lodged significantly less than control plants.
Similar structural consistency shows up in soybeans as more uniform plant development across the field.

PREVENT GREEN SNAP
A 104-mph wind event in Glenham, South Dakota took out most of the crops. However, corn treated with Microbial Catalyst showed only 10-15% green snap damage versus control crops showing 40-60% damage. Yield results that year showed Microbial Catalyst had a +17 bu/acre advantage over control.
MICROBIAL CATALYST
REDUCE EAR DROP
Microbial Catalyst treated crops showed less ear drop with stronger shanks that are bigger in diameter and less likely to weaken. Helping you waste less at harvest and get more ears in the combine.

MANAGE DROUGHT
There was a year when the last rain in this region came on May 15. The first crop picture was taken after 90 days with no rain. The second picture was taken the day after it rained. Yield totals of this crop showed Microbial Catalyst treated crops in this field maintained better performance, increasing yield by +24.79 bu/acre.

WHO IS AGNITION?
At Agnition we believe the next gains in agriculture won't come from adding more, it will come from getting more out what's already there. That's why we've spent the last decade developing Microbial Catalyst® a platform designed to activate biology within the existing soil-plant system. Instead of introducing something new, it helps the system work better supporting nutrient availability, improving how crops respond under pressure and turning existing fertility into measurable performance in the field. The result is simple: Stronger emergence. More efficient nutrient use. Better crop performance when it matters most.
