Hy-Gro Biologics · The HGB System
A natural, biodegradable plant and soil system that raises yields 20–40% over standard fertilizer programs. Proven in twelve years of replicated trials on corn, soybeans, vegetables, turf and ornamentals.

The root zone
In the first days after planting, the seed has one job: build the root system that will feed the plant for the rest of its life. That is where HGB goes to work.

Mode 1Energize the root
HGB raises the seed's energy of activation, speeding cell division and root development. In the 2025 corn and soybean trial, HGB-treated plants scored 101 on root composite. The best competing biological category scored 62.
Mode 2Move the nutrients
A larger, more active root system draws more from what is already in the soil. Thirty days after treatment, HGB plants had taken up:
Mode 3Bolster the plant
Improved nitrogen fixation and sugar production build a nutrient-dense plant. In trials, control ears showed tip die-back from a lack of plant sugar. HGB ears filled to the tip, 7 to 7¼ inches around against the control's 6.
The HGB System
What HGB is
The HGB System (Hy-Gro Biologics) is applied at one quart per acre alongside existing fertility programs, as a seed treatment, in-furrow, 2×2, foliar, or side-dress. It was developed through biology, chemistry and mathematical modeling. The formulation is a trade secret.
The triple mode of action
HGB raises the seed's energy of activation, stimulating cell division and the molecular mechanisms that drive early development. Roots germinate faster and spread wider.
A more active root zone increases respiration, nutrient uptake and translocation. Natural and added beneficial soil biology rises with it, so N, P and K are used more efficiently.
Improved nitrogen fixation and sugar production build a nutrient-dense, stronger plant that holds up under drought, heat and excess rain, and carries its grain to full fill.
Model is illustrative. It shows what happens in the plant, not what is in the formulation.

How results were measured
Randomized, replicated trials across multiple years, in fertilized and sterile soils, stand-alone and blended. Verified by agricultural university professors, certified crop advisors, independent laboratories and growers.

Stewardship and farm economics
HGB measurably improves N, P and K efficiency, so more of what is applied is used by the crop.
Raises soil organic carbon and supports beneficial soil biology. A regenerative agricultural system.
In trials through drought, excessive rain, hail and 75 mph winds, HGB-treated corn and soybeans out-yielded untreated crops at every site.
Natural, biodegradable, GRAS/SCOGS-listed ingredients with no mammalian toxicity.
Corn costs $500–750 an acre to grow, $250–350 of it in fertilizer. Adding HGB at one quart per acre costs about $21, and in trials returned about 30% more yield, more than 50 additional bushels per acre, from the same fertility program.
In their own words
The scientists, crop advisors and growers behind twelve years of HGB testing, on camera and in the field.
From the field
“I spent 30 years testing new products as an Extension Agronomy Specialist. All failed to show any significant benefit except HGB products.”
Dr. Richard W. Taylor, Product Evaluation Leader; University of Delaware, 1985–2016
“HGB products gave 20 to 40% higher yields than any other product I've observed. As soon as they are commercially available, I will recommend them to all my growers.”
John Anson, Certified Crop Advisor
“A number of these sites experienced severe weather: drought, excessive rain, tornadic winds up to 75 mph, damaging hail. In each case, the HGB-treated crops produced yields above those of the untreated crops.”
Retired Extension Agronomist, University of Delaware
“We had a drought that held back the control from tasseling, while the corn treated with HGB tasseled regardless. HGB kept the corn on schedule.”
Pennsylvania grain farmer
“I could see the difference in my soybeans within a week of application, from my pickup truck. Even neighbors noticed.”
