T-22 for Wheat increases profit for farmers $15 per acre
Van Wert, Ohio
September 5, 2006

This year marks Advanced Biological Marketing’s eighth year of successful results using T-22™ for Wheat. The average yield increase is five bu/acre which is a profit of approximately $15 per acre for farmers.

Because so many farmers throughout the country have experienced amazing yield results, T-22 for Wheat is now being applied commercially as well. Several seed companies will offer T-22 for Wheat directly to its customers.

“T-22 for Wheat is effective in most soil types and is compatible with commercially applied seed treatments,” said Dan Custis, president of Advanced Biological Marketing. “We believe that T-22 for Wheat usage is an absolutely necessary element of wheat farming today, particularly when you factor in the additional profit that can be earned.”

T-22 for Wheat is a companion fungicide that has been proven to increase yield while protecting wheat from disease for the entire growing season. T-22 for Wheat contains a strain of the beneficial fungus Trichoderma Harzianum Rifai, developed at Cornell University, and has been proven to protect wheat plants from soil-borne pathogens Pythium, Fusarium, Sclerotina and Rhizoctonia.

T-22 for Wheat is a companion product and works best when used in conjunction with a traditional fungicide. Traditional fungicides only work during the first few weeks of a plant’s life, then become ineffective at preventing disease. T-22 for Wheat begins to work when the traditional fungicide stops, and protects the plant from disease for the remainder of the plant’s life.

The product encourages increased tillering, so there are more wheat shoots per plant. By promoting faster root and shoot development and greater root mass, T-22 for Wheat also improves nutrient uptake and creates a healthier plant that reduces lodging, making harvest easier.   

T-22 can be applied as a commercial seed treatment, or is available as a drill box product. T-22 for Wheat is both EPA approved and certified organic and does not affect ground water or runoff.
