We have previously discussed on this blog how Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) work, mainly focusing on the phosphorus (P) solubilisation actions they can perform. The P solubilisation is an extremely important mode of action for these bacteria, but it’s not the whole story. XiteBio’s PGPR offer other modes of action that are just as […]
Read MoreA high yielding crop requires a large amount of nitrogen (N), and legumes have some of the highest N requirements in row crops. For example, a 35 bu/ac soybean crop will take up 160-200 lbs/ac of N from the soil and a 50 bu/ac pea crop will take up 138-168 lbs/ac of N (1). This […]
Read MoreAs sure as the sun rises every morning, farmers will apply phosphorous (P) to their fields every year. Either before or during seeding or even during the season for a P boost, all growers should be familiar with phosphate fertilizers and their importance to a healthy, high-yielding crop. But fertilizer is much more complicated than […]

Read MoreWith weather warming up, many growers are starting to think about planting. The first thing all growers should consider before seeding this year’s crop is crop health as well as soil health. Whether it’s a phosphate-solubilizing biological or a liquid inoculant for your pulse or soybean crops, XiteBio has eco-friendly and ROI-friendly technologies that should […]

It was a mild winter for much of the prairies this year, with less than average snowfall in almost all areas. With low winter precipitation, and the possibility of drought in certain areas of North America, some growers are starting to think about the conditions their crops may face this upcoming season. Drought can be […]

Nitrogen (N) fertilizer management is important for the success of any crop. It is an expensive input, with this season‘s prices especially high. The price of all major N fertilizers are up between 7-11% compared to this time last year, so growers are looking for the best way to reduce application costs while still increasing […]

Two of the most essential nutrients to growing any row crop are nitrogen (N) and Phosphorous (P). Growers spend a lot of time and money every season fertilizing their fields with N and P, but how do they know when their plants are getting enough? And if your plants are deficient in either of these […]

Getting your hands on phosphate (P2O5) fertilizer is getting tough this year. Fertilizer supply is low and supplies are depleted or running out in many regions in North America. Even in places where it is available, prices are sky high. All growers know how important phosphorus (P) nutrition is to all crops, so this has […]

Liquid inoculants for soybean and pulse crops are an effective method to apply nitrogen-fixing bacteria to seed prior to planting. Each inoculant is formulated specifically for the type of bacteria it contains to allow them to survive on the seed of their specific crop. The length of time they survive on-seed can vary between inoculants […]
