    2025 Field Update: Biologicals in Corn & Soybeans

    ProductsMarch 10, 2026AgriEnergy Solutions

    If you're pushing yield while trying to get more out of your fertility program, last season's work kept pointing to the same thing: biologicals can improve nutrient efficiency, root development, and early-season vigor — especially when they're placed and timed well.

    Below are a few real-world highlights from 2025 (across multiple states) to help you understand where BioEnerG™ and Endo 25™ fit best.

    BioEnerG™ — Supporting Nutrient Availability + Root Function

    What it is:

    BioEnerG™ is a blend of naturally occurring microbes — including nitrogen-fixing and phosphate-solubilizing organisms, plus beneficial fungi — designed to colonize the rhizosphere and help make nutrients more plant-available.

    Where It Stood Out (Corn + Soybeans)

    In-furrow corn (North Carolina) — 2 gal/ac, 4 reps

    • Result: +43.9 bu/ac vs. check
    • BioEnerG™ + IN-Duce 915: +46.2 bu/ac

    V6 foliar corn (North Carolina) — 2 gal/ac

    • Result: +39.2 bu/ac vs. check

    R2 foliar soybeans (Pennsylvania) — 1 qt/ac

    • Result: +14.4 bu/ac vs. check

    V6 foliar soybeans (North Carolina) — 2 gal/ac

    • Result: +13 bu/ac vs. check

    What This Means in a Program

    If you're trying to improve nutrient uptake efficiency (N + P + K) and support stronger root function, BioEnerG™ can be a fit either:

    • In-furrow — to influence early root zone biology, or 2x2
    • Early foliar — to support uptake during key growth stages
    • Sidedress — to influence the rhizosphere

    Endo 25™ — Seed Treatment for Stronger Starts

    What it is:

    Endo 25™ is a dry biological seed treatment blend with naturally occurring bacteria and fungi (with talc + graphite carriers) designed to support early development and nutrient uptake. Suitable for organic production.

    What We Saw (Corn + Soybeans)

    Organic corn trial (Roanoke, IL)

    • Competitor: 249 bu/ac → Endo 25™: 253 bu/ac (+4 bu/ac)

    North Carolina corn trial (Dr. Heiniger)

    • Untreated: 129.7 bu/ac → Treated: 157.3 bu/ac (+27.6 bu/ac)

    North Carolina soybean trials (Dr. Heiniger)

    • 2024: 51 → 62 bu/ac (+11 bu/ac)
    • 2025: 53 → 65 bu/ac (+12 bu/ac)

    Use rate: 4–10 oz per 100 lbs of seed

    Quick Application Notes

    • BioEnerG™: in-furrow, foliar, or broadcast — timing depends on your system and equipment
    • Endo 25™: dry seed treatment, 4–10 oz per 100 lbs seed
