Terrasym for Corn

TERRASYM FOR CORN

Terrasym 450 for Corn

Terrasym microbial inoculants have season-long nutrient uptake benefits, resulting in early root development, improved season-long tolerance of abiotic stress, and improved yield at harvest. Terrasym 450, containing Methylobacterium gregans, is now available as a corn overseed treatment and planter box application.

“My farm is poorly drained and has wet soil, so we chose to use Terrasym 450 to help improve our yields. We’ve collected the last five years worth of yield data. After using Terrasym, we beat it by 10 bushels. But we did make one mistake: We didn’t do the whole thing. We should’ve used both sides of the planter.

How Terrasym 450 Works

Terrasym microbial inoculant products contain specially selected strains of beneficial microbes called Methylobacterium or pink pigmented facultative methylotrophs (PPFMs) . The PPFM strain found in Terrasym 450, Methylobacterium gregans, establishes a natural, permanent partnership with plants. This symbiotic relationship facilitates improved plant development and nutrient uptake, ultimately, making crops stronger, more stable and more tolerant of abiotic stress, from planting through harvest.

STEP 1: PPFMS

Terrasym microbial inoculant products contain specially selected strains of beneficial microbes called methylobacterium or pink pigmented facultative methylotrophs (PPFMs.) PPFMs establish a natural, permanent partnership with plants. This symbiotic relationship facilitates  improved abiotic stress tolerance and nutrient uptake, ultimately aiding plant development and making crops stronger, more stable from planting through harvest.

STEP 2. ROOT ESTABLISHMENT

As broad plant colonizers, these PPFM strains spread rapidly from the seed surface across a plant’s roots and leaves. They support stand establishment by improving nutrient conditions, promoting consistent emergence and larger root systems.

STEP 3. NUTRIENT UPTAKE

These PPFM strains improve nutrient uptake. They also secrete beneficial molecules into the root zone that can bind and transport yield-enabling micronutrients.

.

STEP 4. METHANOL CONSUMPTION

By consuming methanol – a by-product of plant metabolism – these PPFM strains colonize at zero energy cost to the plant. This leaves more energy available to the plant for nutrient uptake, resulting in increased chlorophyll content and enhanced photosynthetic efficiency, both of which translate to increases in yield.
