When North Dakota farmer Lance Skor saw the robust growth of his hard red spring wheat crop this year, he reached a conclusion: trying Thrivus™ bio-inoculant seed treatment turned out to be a great success. “We planted half of a field with Thrivus™-treated wheat, and with what we saw when it came to harvest, we’ve decided that next year all our wheat will be certified wheat treated with Thrivus™,” he said.
Developed using AI tools, Thrivus™ bio-inoculant from Lavie Bio has proven to increase yields by three to four bushels per acre, providing a 4-1 return on investment. By enhancing phosphate, sulfur and iron availability and uptake, it boosts early plant growth and root branching. Improved plant defense and stress tolerance maximizes production, even in sub-optimal areas.
Trying Thrivus™ on your fields involves very little risk while offering potential for high reward. For a cost of $8 per acre, farms, on average, see $32 in increased revenue per acre. Thrivus™ is part of a complete seed package and using Thrivus™ requires no operational change. It’s easy to try and even easier to see the value it provides.
“On our farm, we make decisions based on results, and our Thrivus™-treated wheat acres have proven a very strong return on investment,” Skor said. “From high emergence and quality stands despite a muddy spring, through large healthy heads at heading, the crop looked great.”
Skor is just one of a number of wheat farmers reporting strong results from Thrivus™ on this year’s crop. As far as noticing the dramatic improvement, he’s not alone even in his own neighborhood. “When it came time to combine, our yields were outstanding, and our neighbors could see the difference in the field,” he said. “They wanted to know what we had done, and I told them we had treated our seed with a fungicide and new biological. They now have their wheat booked for next year and will be treating it with Thrivus™.”
Contact your retailer or Lavie Bio representative to find out about trying Thrivus™ on some of your acres where you’re planting hard red spring wheat in 2023. You’ll see the difference for yourself.
