HopperStart™ SB
Soy seed lubricant with microbes
This all-in-one hopperbox treatment combines a soybean-based planter/seed lubrication system that has been used on millions of Midwest crop acres with beneficial microbes proven to increase yield. This provides several distinct advantages over traditional talc and graphite.

WHAT IS IT?
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!

THE DATA:
NewLeaf Symbiotics 4 year data showed a 3.3 bu./A. Advantage to Terrasym ( Included in Hopperstart SB) in 304 trials with a 71 % win ratio! It ranged from .9 bu./A - 4.5 Bu./A.

WHY USE IT?
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
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

By using different products, whether it was planting time or foliar, tweaks to our nitrogen management, hybrid selection or whatever it was… the last two years our yields have just been UNBELIEVABLE! From where we have been the prior 10–20 years to the unbelievable jump we have made the past two years in 2022 and 2023… it’s a testament to the products, the company, the relationship with the people. It’s just been unbelievable!
With The Agronomic Profit System™ from Yield Innovations™, they create a personalized system for our farm. Everything we do is on purpose with an agronomic reason behind it. We’re in the middle of working our plan.
