DUST™ (Bio-Complex Inclusion Carrier/Seed Lubricant)
Better Biology. Better Flow. Better Stands.
DUST™ is a patented, microplastic-free inclusion carrier designed to improve how biology is delivered and performs on the seed. Instead of relying on liquid coverage that can be inconsistent, DUST evenly distributes microbes across every seed while providing an early amino acid food source to help them establish immediately.
This dry, spherical carrier is built to improve performance both biologically and mechanically. It enhances seed flow through the planter, improves singulation, and reduces wear on meters and components. Compared to talc or graphite, DUST is gentler on seed coatings while delivering more consistent spacing and emergence.
Research has shown up to 5–10X better microbial coverage compared to traditional liquid seed treatments, leading to stronger early plant vigor and more uniform stands. With use across more than 20 million acres and 20+ crops, DUST has proven itself as a reliable tool for improving both biology and planter performance.
Key Benefits
- Improved microbial coverage — delivers up to 5–10X better distribution compared to liquid seed treatments.
- Early biological support — amino acids provide a food source to help microbes establish quickly.
- Better seed flow — improves singulation and spacing for more uniform emergence.
- Reduced equipment wear — lowers friction on planter components and extends equipment life.
- Seed-safe formulation — spherical particles are gentler than talc or graphite.
- Low use rate — ~0.5 oz per unit of seed delivers strong performance at a low cost per acre.
- Clean and safe handling — safer alternative to traditional lubricants.
- Proven performance — used across millions of acres and diverse cropping systems.
- Pollinator safe — environmentally friendly and safe for bees.
