Using biology to boost
soybean yields

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

Novozymes biosolutions help improve nitrogen fixation and stress tolerance and 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.

Watch the video to see how LCO Promoter Technology® can boost the stress tolerance and yield of your soybean crop.

Demand is up…

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.

…but meeting that demand is not without 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.
