FAQs

Re-Gen recaptures nutrient value from crop residue, breaking it down to feed the next crop. It’s a combination of fungi, bacteria, and yeast, shipped as a freeze dried powder to provide best in class microbial activity at application. We guarantee 100,000x higher CFUs vs other biological products.

Plants and microbes have evolved alongside one another for thousands of years. Beneficial microbes help break down organic matter, release nutrients, suppress disease, and promote root development.

Re-Gen has been validated on corn, soybeans, wheat, rye straw, hay crops, and specialty crops such as hops, lettuce, broccoli, melons, and cannabis crop residues. It is best used in fields with high residue from the previous crop, and significant nutrient demand for the upcoming crop.

Yes, Re-Gen is ideal for most minimum tillage / conservation tillage practices. If you have a specific crop in mind, we’re happy to confirm compatibility.

In field trials, spring applications of Re-Gen have shown yield increases of up to 20 bushels per acre, even under extreme weather conditions.

On average, Re-Gen helps unlock approximately:

• 85 lbs of nitrogen
• 20 lbs of phosphorus
• 145 lbs of potassium

...from every acre of corn stover. That’s a recaptured nutrient value of about $218/acre.

Re-Gen works faster (2–4 weeks vs. 12+ months), delivers better plant growth (up to 40% larger plants vs. premium compost), and ensures more targeted breakdown of residue through specially selected microbes. It directly introduces the right microbes to recycle crop residue, where composting indirectly tries to cultivate the right microbial populations.

Re-Gen contains:

• Lignin and cellulose-degrading microbes (to break down tough stalks)
• Organic acid-producing microbes (to help solubilize nutrients)
• Growth-promoting microbes (to support root development and stress resilience)

Yes. All microbes used are naturally occurring and Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. We exclude any strains flagged by research as potentially harmful.

• Powder: Shelf-stable for 12+ months if kept dry and below 135°F. We recommend freezer storage for best longevity.
• After activation: Re-Gen stays viable for 45–60 days if stored in a cool, shaded area (a shop is fine; avoid hot sheds or direct sunlight).

• 1 lb. of Re-Gen mixes with 1.1 gallons of water to treat 40 acres.
• Final application rate is 4 oz per acre.
• Dilution with water can vary, but most farmers apply at 10–20 gallons per acre.

Yes, but follow these guidelines:

• Allow Re-Gen to rehydrate in clean water for 24 hours before adding other products.
• Always verify chemical compatibility before tank mixing. Re-Gen is compatible with some but not all herbicides.

For more information, see our mixing guide.

• Municipal water: Safe to use; chlorine levels are not high enough to harm the microbes.
• Well water: Also safe, as long as pH is under 8. If your water is more basic (8+), contact us and we’ll provide citric acid to bring the pH closer to neutral.

Yes. Re-Gen’s high concentration makes it ideal for drone application. Just ensure it lands on as much residue as possible to maximize decomposition.

Yes. Like any biological product, Re-Gen should not sit idle in spray lines. Rinse your equipment after application to prevent microbial buildup.

Each microbial strain is grown and tested individually, then combined in precise ratios. This ensures every batch delivers consistent performance and shelf life.

No. Root uses naturally occurring microbes that stimulate the plant’s own hormone production (e.g., IAA), unlike synthetic gels that contain artificial hormones like NAA, which can be carcinogenic and less effective.
