Corn And Sorghum

CORN & SORGHUM

Bigger yields, healthier plants, better resilience. We’re unlocking corn’s full genetic potential.

Naturally occurring microbes give every seed a head start to reaching new heights.

NewLeaf Technology boosts corn’s natural ability to absorb and use nutrients by harnessing the power of PPFMs - helpful bacteria found in symbiotic relationships with plants all over the world. From germination to harvest, this biological edge empowers plants to grow bigger, stronger, and more resilient.

We screen thousands of microbes to target the perfect partners for specific crops. Corn products powered by NewLeaf Technology are proven to enhance nutrient uptake throughout the growing season - supporting earlier and more vigorous root development and helping plants defend themselves against abiotic stress.

LEARN MORE ABOUT PPFMs

Natural biologics have the potential to revolutionize sustainable agriculture.

Our technology works with nature to maximize the growth and development of row crops.

The biological advantages our PPFMs provide enable corn to get the most out of your commercial crop management program. Growers can improve the effectiveness of their fertilizer and other crop inputs by complementing these applications with beneficial plant bacteria.

“My farm is poorly drained and has wet soil, so we chose to use NewLeaf Technology 450 to help improve our yields. We’ve collected the last five years worth of yield data. After using NewLeaf Technology, 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.”

STEP 1: PPFMS APPLICATION

Scientifically selected PPFMs are applied through the planter box. These beneficial bacteria form a natural symbiotic relationship with plants, improving nutrient uptake and resilience under stress.

STEP 2. ROOT COLONIZATION

As broad plant colonizers, PPFMs spread from the seed surface across a plant’s roots and leaves. They support stand establishment, promoting consistent emergence and larger root systems.

STEP 3. ROOT ESTABLISHMENT

As the plant grows, the bacteria continue to elevate its nutrient uptake. They also secrete beneficial molecules into the root zone to bind and transport yield-enabling micronutrients.

STEP 4. NUTRIENT UPTAKE

Since PPFMs consume methanol, a byproduct of the plant’s metabolism, they colonize at zero energy cost to the plant, leaving more energy available to the plant for increased chlorophyll content and enhanced photosynthetic efficiency, both of which translate to increases in yield.
