Help Your Cotton Crop Handle Stress
What the Biome Makers BeCrop Trials Say About StrongSoil’s Impact on Cotton Resilience
As the season heats up, so do the pressures on your cotton crop—drought, heat, nutrient lockup, and persistent pest and disease threats. If you’re focused on regenerative farming or simply want your crop to withstand what’s coming, now’s the time to ask:
Is your cotton ready for this year’s stress?
It All Starts With Soil Biology
StrongSoil® is designed to deliver a critical mass of diverse, highly functional microbiology—beneficial bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and a food source rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and chitin. This powerful blend feeds your soil and works with your field’s native biology, rather than against it.
By rapidly improving microbial activity and soil structure, StrongSoil helps unlock fertility, boost natural plant defenses, and build long-term soil health—all essential for a cotton crop facing unpredictable growing conditions.
Results From 5 Trial Locations
StrongSoil was evaluated in independent BeCrop® Trials by BiomeMakers across five cotton-growing locations across the Southeast. Using microbiome analysis, environmental data, and field-level performance tracking, the trials revealed how well StrongSoil works with the biology already in the field.
Here’s what stood out:
Powerful Stress Adaptation
Cotton trials showed massive increases in microbes that produce salicylic and abscisic acid, which help crops tolerate stress and activate natural defense responses. We also saw significant growth in microbes that create sticky exudates, improving soil structure and moisture retention in dry conditions.
11x increase in microbial producers of salicylic acid
+64% microbial producers of abscisic acid
+63% microbes that improve soil structure and water retention
Stronger Microbial Disease Defense
Across 7 out of 10 trial time points, StrongSoil increased microbes known to suppress fungal pathogens, root-feeding nematodes, and damaging insects. Each site’s response was unique, but the common theme was clear: a more balanced, biologically rich soil microbiome helps protect your crop below the surface.
+61% total load of microbes that suppress root-damaging insects, nematode, and fungi
Improved Nutrient Cycling & Soil Health
StrongSoil consistently boosts populations of bacteria that support ongoing nitrogen availability—a key to maintaining yield and plant vigor during peak growth stages.
84% increase in microbes capable of mitigating heavy metal toxicity
7% increase of the capacity of the microbiome to facilitate iron assimilation via reduction and/or chelation
53% more microbial producers of cytokinins for cell division and growth
Positive gains in nitrifying bacteria at 8 out of 10 trial time points
Still Time for In-Season Application
It’s not too late to support your cotton crop—StrongSoil can still be applied at the pinhead square stage. This is a critical window for root zone biology, nutrient demand, and natural plant defense. Applying now helps reinforce microbial function when your crop needs it most, giving cotton the resilience to push through stress and perform through the heat of the season.
Ready to Build a Healthier Field?
Regenerative practices start with strong biology. StrongSoil is proven to enhance nutrient cycling, build water-holding structure, and support natural pest and disease resistance, without disrupting the native biology of your soil.
Whether you're just starting a regenerative transition or looking to improve ROI on your inputs, StrongSoil helps your cotton stand strong when the pressure’s on.
