What You Are Getting
With Earnest
We work with beneficial bacteria.
What you get now
A bacteria-based seed coat that helps seeds start faster, build more roots, pull more nutrients, and handle dry/hot spells better.
(Technical term: biostimulant.)
What's coming
A bacteria-based add-on that helps protect seedlings from early rot/damping-off in the trench—a natural defense for young plants.
(Technical term: biopesticide; timing depends on approvals.)
