How Re-Gen Solves the Reliability Problem in Biologicals

Biologicals have been around for decades. And for just as long, farmers have heard the same promise: that these natural products can reduce dependence on synthetic inputs while maintaining or improving yields.
For farmers, the question is practical: what helps a biological perform dependably in the field?
Weather, soil variability, and tight planting windows all matter. So do the way a product is manufactured, how it’s handled, and the job its microbes are being asked to do.
At IMIO, we’ve spent years working to change that.
What Reliability Takes
With living microbes, performance starts well before the product reaches the field.
Storage, handling, water quality, and tank-mix compatibility can affect microbial products. That makes clear instructions and careful preparation part of the job.
Then there’s placement. Some biologicals depend on microbes establishing themselves in the soil or root zone. Re-Gen is applied directly to crop residue, giving its microbes a home base on the material they’re designed to break down.
That gives us a clear focus: preserve the microbes through storage, activate them before application, and put them where they can get to work.
For farmers, it means a straightforward biological task and a practical application process.
Enter Re-Gen: The Dependable Biological for Nutrient Recapture
Re-Gen was designed around dependable nutrient recapture. Purpose-built biology, precise manufacturing, and direct application to residue all support that goal.
Here’s what makes Re-Gen different:
Shelf-Stable Storage
Re-Gen is freeze-dried into a shelf-stable powder to preserve microbial viability through storage. Keep it dry and follow the storage directions on your product label.
Consistent Microbial Activity
Re-Gen ships freeze-dried. Growers activate it with water before application, delivering 100,000× more active microbes than competing products.
Performance Proven in the Field
Across university and farm trials covering more than 10,000 Midwest acres in the 2024 and 2025 seasons, Re-Gen-treated acres averaged an 11.9-bushel-per-acre corn yield increase. Individual results ranged from +5.32 to +22.67 bushels per acre. Re-Gen applications have also delivered:
- NPK credits of up to $120 per acre
- Faster residue breakdown that can help fields prepare more easily with fewer tillage passes
Those results give farmers a reason to take a closer look at the nutrient value already in their fields.
Why Re-Gen Takes a Direct Route
Re-Gen’s reliability story starts with how its microbes are put to work.
Re-Gen gives its microbes a straightforward job: breaking down crop residue to unlock the nutrients already in your field. Applied directly to that residue, they have immediate access to the material they’re designed to work on.
That simpler biological task helps make nutrient release more dependable.
Consistency You Can Count On
Reliability isn’t just about biology. It’s also about manufacturing.
Each microbial strain is grown and tested individually, combined in precise ratios, and freeze-dried to preserve viability through storage. That care supports consistency from batch to batch and helps set the microbes up for success in the field.
Work With a Biological You Can Trust
Farmers need tools they can evaluate on their own acres. Re-Gen brings a clear mechanism, practical application, and documented field results to that conversation.
That’s the standard we’re building around: dependable biology with a useful job to do.
So if you’ve been burned by biologicals in the past—or you’re just tired of hoping something works—give Re-Gen a closer look.
