Researchers are educating growers on how biostimulants can improve crop quality and consistency across fields when they’re used right.
The University of Illinois’ Connor Sible tells Brownfield their research categorizes biostimulants for different uses.
“The basic levels can be split into kind of two larger bins,” he said. “And that’s the living microorganisms or what we can classify as the formerly living.”
He said the ‘living’ category includes microorganisms like nitrogen fixing bacteria which are used to provide nitrogen to soybeans and are starting to be used in corn and wheat.
