Preside Ultra®

Preside Ultra® super concentrated soybean inoculant

You take pride in your soybean fields. Whether they’re the ones right by the road that everyone drives past, or the acres smack-dab in the middle of your farm, you want them to look their best. You know a field of green, healthy-looking plants in the summer means a healthy harvest in fall — and very likely more green for you.

With Preside Ultra® super concentrated soybean inoculant, you don’t even have to wait that long to see a difference. Preside Ultra improves soybeans’ ability to emerge, establish a stand, and effectively utilize the increased levels of nitrogen provided to the plant. You can see the difference a soybean inoculant can make in just one or two days. That doesn’t just mean a better-looking field. It means healthier, more vigorous plants that produce stronger yields.

Preside Ultra® soybean inoculant enables faster emergence and greater yields

Preside Ultra® improves soybeans’ ability to emerge, establish a stand and effectively utilize the increased levels of nitrogen provided to the plant. You can see the difference in just one or two days. For growers, inoculant for soybeans means more than just a better-looking field. It means healthier, more vigorous plants that produce stronger yields.

Preside Ultra soybean inoculant uses Take Off technology to accelerate nutrient acquisition and utilization into the plant. Preside Ultra offers up to two times more rhizobia (Bradyrhizobium japonicum) with multiple strains for more consistency. It provides up to 65% more nodule mass to increase nitrogen-fixing capacity spurring faster canopy closure so the plant can capture more light, reduce weed competition, and preserve soil moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Preside Ultra Soybean Inoculant

Still trying to figure out what all this bacteria, Nitrogen, and inoculant stuff is about? Check out our FAQs below for answers.

Why use the Preside Ultra soybean rhizobium inoculant?

How do soybeans get Nitrogen?

Why do we have to inoculate our soybeans every year?

Soybeans need Nitrogen to grow, and rhizobia are the best way to provide it. A number of things can reduce the amount of background rhizobia in the soil, such as flooding, extreme hot or cold weather conditions, and soil pH levels. Not only can rhizobia sometimes be scarce, but the key is to have the right rhizobia present for your soybeans to help with nodulation and Nitrogen production.

That’s why we need a regular inoculant application when planting — to ensure that the right amount of the right rhizobia is there. An inoculant for soybeans helps rhizobia and soybeans work together to produce the Nitrogen soybeans need

I’m on a two-year rotation. Do I really need to inoculate my soybeans?

Fields vary year-round — high ground, low ground, high pH, low pH — so there’s no reliable way to know if the right bacteria is in the soil or if it’s in the right quantity. For less than a bushel per acre, however, you can ensure that you get the right type and amount of rhizobia to enable your soybeans to produce as many nodules as possible to generate the Nitrogen they need.

What does “the right type of rhizobia” mean?

Does an inoculant provide bacterial consistency across your field?

Are there other benefits to a soybean inoculant?

Yep. Soybean inoculant also helps produce efficiencies within the plant, like improving general appearance and health, better utilizing the Phosphorus and Potassium available to the plant, and fighting off stressors. When plants are properly nourished with the right nutrients, they’re more resilient to drought and other extreme weather conditions and produce an all-around better yield.

How do you produce top-yielding soybeans?

It’s proven that a soybean rhizobium inoculant increases soybean yield. And with the addition of Take Off technology to Preside Ultra, it’s even more powerful. Preside Ultra is a multi-strain Bradyrhizobium japonicum soybean inoculant. It includes more higher-powered rhizobia to out-compete background soil populations. That sounds complicated, but it’s really a quite simple, smart product. Apply Preside Ultra this season and let it do the work for you.
