The Science Behind PeptiGro®
PeptiGro® is the result of years of research, laboratory testing, field trials and continuous innovation. A liquid mixture of amino acids and peptides, PeptiGro® maximizes crop yields in both favorable and unfavorable environments. In addition to benefiting crop yields as a fertilizer, PeptiGro® is an excellent source of nutrients for enhancing growth of microbial products on the market.
Yield Performance Testing
PeptiGro® Proven Performance – Effective in 214 Trials Across 10 States:
- PERFORMANCE YIELD TESTING (>10,000 YIELD PLOTS, 214 Trials) PeptiGro® underwent extensive testing in various configurations in over 214 trials across 10 states (2020, 2021, 2022), including as an in-furrow standalone fertilizer, in combination with 5 gallons per acre of 6-24-6 starter fertilizer, as well as a foliar standalone fertilizer, and in combination with 2 gallons per acre of foliar 6-24-6 fertilizer. See accompanying table below for details on trial types, trial and Rep quantities per crop.
- Results showed a clear advantage.
- FOLIAR PeptiGro® shows a 3+ Bu./Ac. benefit in corn, a 1+ Bu./Ac. in soybeans, and 1+ Bu./Ac. in wheat.
- IN-FURROW PeptiGro® shows a 3+ Bu./Ac. benefit in corn, a 1+ Bu./Ac. in soybeans, and a 1+ Bu./Ac. in wheat.
PeptiGro® is an exciting, new, proactive tool to use in your foliar and in-furrow fertilizer program with ≥3:1 ROI*.
*Return on Investment (ROI) based on Cibari Biosciences field testing results in corn (foliar, in-furrow), soybeans (foliar, in-furrow), and wheat (in-furrow), PeptiGro® MSRP, and corn, soybean and wheat prices of $4.50/bu., $9.00/bu., and $6.00/bu., respectively. ROI may change based on several factors and for this reason there is no guarantee of ROI results.
FOLIAR ON CORN
IN-FURROW ON CORN
CORN SUMMARY:
- STANDALONE: PeptiGro on its own boosts corn yield by 2.9+ Bu./Ac. with foliar application and 3.2+ Bu./Ac. with in-furrow application.
- TANK MIXED: Adding PeptiGro to 6-24-6 foliar and starter fertilizer further improves yield by 1.2+ and 1.9+ Bu./Ac. for both foliar and in-furrow applications, respectively, compared to fertilizer alone.
Foliar on Soybeans
In-Furrow on Soybeans
SOYBEANS SUMMARY:
- STANDALONE: PeptiGro on its own boosts soybean yield by 1.2+ Bu./Ac. with foliar application and 1.5+ Bu./Ac. with in-furrow application.
- TANK MIXED: Adding PeptiGro to 6-24-6 foliar or starter fertilizer further improves yield by a positive trend of 0.4+ Bu./Ac. with foliar and a significant 1.6+ Bu./Ac. yield advantage with in-furrow application compared to fertilizer alone.
Foliar on Wheat
In-Furrow on Wheat
WHEAT SUMMARY:
- STANDALONE: PeptiGro on its own boosts wheat yield by 1.1+ Bu./Ac. when applied as a foliar spray at green-up and flag-leaf stages, along with 15 Lbs. N/Ac. of UAN32 fertilizer at green-up.
- COATED ON DRY FERTILIZER: PeptiGro coated onto 40 Lbs./Ac. of 7-34-20 dry starter fertilizer and applied in-furrow with seed during planting increase yield by an additional 1.7+ Bu./Ac. over dry fertilizer alone.
