"We're gaining real insights into the carbon cycle and unlocking ways to revive our soils," said Kent Klingbeil, CCA, owner of 2K Ag, LLC in Huxley, Iowa. Klingbeil has focused on balancing carbon, fungi, and bacteria in his soils to improve nutrient cycling. As a dealer for Meristem Crop Performance, he values how the company's products support regenerative practices and long-term soil health.

Meristem leads the biologicals market with its Bio-Capsule Technology™ Delivery System, which includes plant biostimulants, nutrient enhancers, and EPA-registered BioDefense products. These naturally derived inputs provide multiple agronomic benefits: improving soil health, increasing nutrient use efficiency, and supporting yield gains.

"Meristem's products give us tools that are boosting our soil health - and that's key to unlocking higher yields and stronger farm profitability down the line," Klingbeil noted.

One standout product, Excavator® AMS with Cyclestrike® LR, helps break down crop residue in reduced tillage systems, releasing up to 60 pounds of N, P, and K per acre within 60 days. This all-in-one blend combines ammonium sulfate and surfactants to support fertility and microbial activity - improving soil tilth and reducing pathogen risk.

Another innovation, Upshift® C Plus, offers a low-salt index (4.1) starter fertilizer formulation with EDTA-chelated zinc and phenolic compounds to mitigate early-season stress. Its patented enzyme system improves nutrient availability and promotes robust root and microbial growth, boosting early vigor and return on investment.

Maintain™ Elite and N-Gear® Dual Action are Meristem's nitrogen management tools. These stabilize N from anhydrous ammonia, UAN, manure, and urea without harming beneficial soil microbes. With high NBPT content and multiple modes of action, they reduce nitrogen leaching and extend uptake windows, enhancing fertilizer efficiency.

"We want to help American farmers understand how Meristem products can take cost out, produce more for less, and generate income through regenerative practices," said Mitch Eviston, Meristem's founder and CEO. "Our platform fits perfectly with farms focused on building soil health."

As growers seek sustainable ways to enhance productivity and resilience, Meristem's biological lineup offers effective, science-based tools aligned with the future of U.S. agriculture.
