About Excalibre | 2004-2005 Yield Data

Excalibre is a unique soybean seed treatment that contains a proprietary blend of three strains of yield-enhancing Bradyrhizobia bacteria. It has been developed and proven effective by the best scientists in soybean incoculant genetics. This new patent-pending technology is a first in agriculture. Excalibre offers a safe, easy-to-use way to significantly increase crop yields. It is unique from all other inoculants because it offers a extra-long planting windows and compatibility with approved seed treatments, all while maintaining or exceeding the yield benefits of America's Best Inoculant products.

Excalibre is an encapsulated form of America's Best Inoculant, designed for:

  • Increased convenience of the custom seed treatment applicator
  • Longer planting windows for the producer
  • Top yield responses

Excalibre™, now available from your seed company, can be applied to your soybeans with a proprietary blend of three strains of bacteria.

Inoculation explained.
Inoculation is the process of adding rhizobia bacteria to the soybean seed, starting a partnership between rhizobia bacteria and the soybean plant. The rhizobia bacteria colonizes on the roots of a soybean plant in the form of nodules. In this form, the rhizobium takes nitrogen from the air and converts it into a form that the soybean plant can use. This promotes healthier and more vigorous growth, resulting in higher yields. The better the quality of the bacteria, the more efficient the nitrogen production. Soybean plants prefer nitrogen from natural sources (nodules) rather than manufactured nitrogen fertilizers.

Why use an inoculant?
Inoculants increase your soybean yield and generate more profit from your crops. The research and testing are unmistakable: Inoculants are effective. America’s Best Inoculant™ has shown significant yield increases and should be used in all planting conditions. Use of a quality inoculant indicates increased levels of protein in the soybean.
