Lavie Bio Launches New Bio-Inoculant for Cereal Crops
Lavie Bio has announced the commercial launch of Yalos, a new bio-inoculant seed treatment for durum, barley and hard red spring wheat.
“Lavie Bio’s extensive trial data, spanning multiple years and diverse growing conditions, clearly demonstrates Yalos consistently increases yields by 4 bushels per acre,” says Russel Putland, Lavie Bio executive vice president of commercial operations and North America general manager.
The product is formulated with two microbes intended to improve nutrient availability and uptake by enhancing early plant growth and branching, as well as microbe establishment in the root zone.
Yalos has gone through more than 130 independent, third-party field trials in North America. The company says last year’s trials on durum in North Dakota had an average yield increase of 7.1%, while previous trials on spring wheat had an average yield increase of 6%.
“Sitting in the combine and watching the monitor you can clearly see the benefit from Yalos compared to my untreated acres – the bushels are better quality and there are more of them. The results speak for themselves,” says Kyle Nichols, a grower in Palermo, North Dakota who tested Yalos last year.
Yalos is available through distribution partnerships in both the U.S. and Canada ahead of the upcoming planting season.
