The SMaRT project, a partnership between Michigan State University Extension and the Michigan Soybean Checkoff, evaluated the effect of Bio-Forge on soybean yields. Stoller USA recommends that both a seed treatment and a foliar application be applied to maximize potential benefits. It is also available as a seed treatment (Bio-Forge ST) promoted as improving nodulation and root growth in cool soil conditions. Bio-Forge can be applied in-furrow, as a sidedress application and as a foliar application. It is advertised as being able to reduce plant stress and promote higher yields. Increases the natural vigorous growth of young plants.Bio-Forge® is a biological plant growth promoter marketed by Stoller USA.Assists plant growth during dry periods.Helps resist negative impact of stress.Restores nutrient status and normal plant growth.Taking preventative action to reduce excessive ethylene by applying Bio-Forge® results in greater future yields, profitability and quality produce.īio-Forge® can be applied as a seed treatment to ensure optimum growth during stress events and in difficult growing conditions.īio-Forge® gets your crops back to a normal growth pattern. The earlier the action is taken to regulate ethylene levels in a crop, the better resistance the crop will have when stress factors occur. Keeping ethylene at a normal level is critical to maintaining healthy growth in a crop and high yields at harvest. Although critical to plant functionality, excess levels of ethylene, such as in a stress event, can cause premature cell death and plant damage. Ethylene is a normal plant growth hormone produced in the cells, it holds the key function of controlling all other hormones within the plant. When crops become stressed they produce excess ethylene, which upsets plant balance. It is both preventive and curative, allowing growers the flexibility they need to react to plant stress. With its antioxidant properties, Bio-Forge® works to maintain the genetic potential of plants, improve growth, and increase yield in a variety of agricultural crops.īio-Forge® regulates specific genes associated with root development and stress ethylene production to allow better nutrient uptake, resulting in improved yields. Bio-Forge® is a unique patented nutrient formulation containing Diformylurea.
