Sound Agriculture develops science-backed products that help farmers improve productivity while minimizing input use. SOURCE is a foliar spray that mimics natural plant-to-microbe signals that initiate processes that fix atmospheric nitrogen and unlock phosphorus in the soil. Crops gain access to the N and P that already exists in the field, leading to improved plant and soil health, higher yields, and the opportunity to reduce the use of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer. University trials have shown the potential reduction of 50 lbs of nitrogen fertilizer per acre.
