Excalibre, produced by the makers of America’s Best Inoculant (ABI), recently accomplished another first. The most technologically advanced soybean inoculant now has a 90-day post-application planting window. Excalibre was introduced to the industry in January 2006 with a 60-day, post-application planting window.

“The product continues to be tested,” said Dan Custis, president of Advanced Biological Marketing. “We believe after the next round of tests we’ll have an even higher post-application planting window.”

Excalibre, a new patented technology, is the first in agriculture and is on the cutting edge of genetics. It is uniquely different from all other inoculants because it offers a 2-year shelf life and extended post-application planting window.

Excalibre is a soybean seed inoculant that has been developed and proven effective by the best scientists in Bradyrhizobia genetics. It offers a safe, easy-to-use way to significantly increase crop yields by up to 4.4 bushels an acre. Excalibre contains a unique proprietary blend of three highly effective strains of bacteria that work effectively in variable soil and planting conditions.

Because of Excalibre’s formulation, seed companies can inoculate soybean seeds 90 days in advance and have them available for when their customers need the product. The shelf life also gives farmers extra time to plant. It is believed that after additional testing on Excalibre is completed it will offer up to a 180-day planting window.

“America’s Best Inoculant has been proven to increase soybean yield up to 14 bu/acre,” said Dan Custis, president of Advanced Biological Marketing, manufactures of Excalibre and America’s Best Inoculant. “Excalibre is simply an encapsulated form of America’s Best Inoculant and continues to provide farmers results.”
