Biosolutions for soybeans

Biological solutions that improve nitrogen fixation and boost yield are meeting the growing global demand for soybeans 

Boost soybean yields with the help of biology

As a soybean producer, getting the most out of your land and crop is crucial. Conditions change every year, and each grower has a unique set of challenges. 

Novonesis biosolutions help improve nitrogen fixation and stress tolerance, as well as promote early vigor, ultimately maximizing your soybean yields. 

What is LCO Promoter Technology®?

LCO (Lipo-chitooligosaccharide) is a unique molecule that increases mycorrhizal associations when applied in-furrow and enhances photosynthesis when applied as a foliar application. 

See how LCO Promoter Technology® can boost the stress tolerance and yield of your soybean crop.

Soybean demand is increasing

Demand for soybeans is growing worldwide. In the U.S. alone, soybean production is expected to grow by more than 5% by the end of 2024, with global production expected to reach a record 410.6 million metric tons—up 40.2 million metric tons from the year before*. 

This trend is a positive sign for soybean producers. However, you're feeling the pressure to continue producing more, with less, each year.

And so are the challenges

A variety of factors stand between you and your ability to increase soybean yields to meet demand. Some of the more common challenges include: 

  • Unpredictable weather conditions that lead to plant stress. 
  • A variety of pests and diseases that can cause serious damage to crops. 
  • Meeting the plants’ nutritional needs, applying the right inputs at the right time.
