HopperStart™ SB
Soybean Hopper-Box Treatment
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!

Terrasym, proven to increase yields!
NewLeaf Symbiotics four-year data showed a 3.3 bu./A. advantage in 304 trials with a 71% win rate.
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

The way Yield Innovations can adapt to our farming practices really helped my farm by understanding what we do and making the right plan that fits our needs! Yield Innovations is always looking for new products and practices to increase yield and ROI on our farm. Their main focus is about helping the farmer be more profitable and I am proud to be partnering with Yield Innovations.
We’ve been implementing Yield Innovations’ Agronomic Profit System (TAPS™) on our farm for the last 6 years. It has benefited the farm by increasing our yields. The trend is up! Actually, our crop insurance agent noticed our yield trend and showed us a graph of how our APH changed over the last 6 years. You can see it. There’s no question. When you asked us what we think has contributed to our improvements the most… it’s not one product. We’ve changed so many things. It’s really just the system that Yield Innovations has personalized for us. It’s not one product. It’s just all of it!
