Strains

Performance Starts at the Strain Level

The right strain determines field performance and consistency​

The LOCUS ADVANTAGE

Predictable performance across variable field conditions

Stronger confidence when integrating into crop programs

U.S.-produced for supply quality and reliability

In agricultural biology, performance depends on the strain — not the species. While many biological products rely on generic microbes, Locus AG focuses on identifying, validating, and deploying elite strains that deliver reliable results across environments.

Most biologicals fail at the strain level

Not all microbes behave the same in the field. Performance depends on selecting strains with defined functions that hold up under real-world conditions—not just controlled environments:
  • Generic strains deliver inconsistent field results
  • Lab performance rarely translates to real conditions
  • Poor strain selection limits root development and nutrient uptake
  • Environmental variability exposes weak biology
  • Field performance requires strain-specific design

Different strains. Different functions. Different outcomes.

Trichoderma
Drives root expansion and nutrient access

Expands root systems and improves nutrient uptake, supporting stronger early growth and yield potential.

Bacillus
Activates soil and supports plant performance

Enhances nutrient availability and plant resilience for more consistent field performance.

Rhizobia
Delivers biological nitrogen fixation

Fixes atmospheric nitrogen through symbiotic nodulation, reducing reliance on synthetic inputs.

Wickerhamomyces
Unlocks nutrients and fuels soil biology

Solubilizes nutrients and stimulates microbial activity to improve uptake and plant performance.

Built for field performance, not lab results

Only strains that prove performance under real-world conditions move forward.

Diverse strain discovery

Screening broad microbial candidates to identify strains with real agronomic potential

Field-relevant evaluation

Testing under controlled and real-world conditions to confirm consistent field performance
