New product Evaness assists with crop residues post-harvest
Simplot Grower Solutions and Innvictis BioScience just released a new product called Evaness. It's designed to deal with crop residues after harvest and helps build the soil by using added nutrients from Evaness and even from the breakdown of crop residue.
Cody Eubanks, National Product Manager for Bioscience with Innvictis, explains, "It basically is a yeast-based product that provides pretty substantial nutrition for the native microbial populations that are responsible for breaking down residues."
Evaness has been tested in fields that grow such crops as wheat, barley, and alfalfa. It's a product Eubanks describes as speeding up a natural process.
You're going to increase that microbial population substantially, and so any of the residue that's in a minimum or reduced-till type situation that's got good soil contact, you're going to expedite that breakdown process. It's a really innovative type product, and it's doing something very simplistically, but it does it very, very well.
Evaness is now available from Simplot and Innvictus for growers to buy.
