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.
