New EXCAVATOR AMS boosts crop yield potential

Meristem Crop Performance has unveiled the enhanced EXCAVATOR® AMS powered by CYCLESTRIKE™, featuring a robust microbial blend for efficient residue breakdown. This innovative product, held in the patented BIO-CAPSULE® LR, activates at the point of use to ensure maximum effectiveness.

“This is the very best residue breakdown product on the market,” said Mitch Eviston, Meristem Founder and CEO. The new formulation helps farmers reduce synthetic fertilizer usage while maximizing the nutrition already present in their soil.

CYCLESTRIKE combines advanced biologicals with nitrogen and sulfur sources like AMS, creating a synergistic effect that speeds up residue degradation.

Farmers like Nick Fries, who have used the product for years, note marked improvements in stand count and crop quality. “We used EXCAVATOR AMS with CYCLESTRIKE, and the difference in treated and untreated was night and day,” Fries shared.

The upgraded system includes BioUp™, a solution that neutralizes chlorine in treated water, ensuring the microbes remain effective regardless of water source quality. This feature addresses a common issue faced by farmers using city water.

By advancing residue management, EXCAVATOR AMS with CYCLESTRIKE supports regenerative agriculture, improving soil health and promoting higher yields.

Meristem continues its mission to help farmers achieve more with less, providing innovative solutions for sustainable farming.
