FAQs

Re-Gen is the dependable biological for recapturing nutrients from crop residue. Its fungi, bacteria, and yeast are shipped freeze-dried and activated with water before application, delivering 100,000× more active microbes than competing products. Applied directly to residue, they support breakdown and nutrient availability for crop uptake.

Re-Gen’s fungi, bacteria, and yeast support the breakdown of crop residue and the release and availability of nutrients for crop uptake. Applying them directly to residue gives the microbes a home base on the material they are designed to break down.

Re-Gen is used in row-crop and produce systems to help break down crop residue and return nutrients to the soil. It is particularly relevant where residue is substantial between seasons or plantings. Talk with IMIO about suitability for your crop, field conditions, and application program.

Yes. Re-Gen is ideal for most minimum tillage and conservation tillage practices. For a specific crop, IMIO can confirm compatibility.

Across university and farm trials covering more than 10,000 Midwest acres in 2024 and 2025, 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. Other observed benefits include faster residue breakdown and easier field preparation. Results vary with field conditions and management.

Corn stover contains an estimated $134 per acre in NPK value. That is the value of nutrients present in the residue, not a guaranteed recovery amount. Re-Gen applications have delivered NPK credits of up to $120 per acre. Actual nutrient availability depends on residue, field conditions, and management.

Re-Gen is applied directly to crop residue in the field to support residue breakdown and nutrient recapture. It is a concentrated microbial formulation, so its role and application differ from adding finished compost. The right approach depends on the material being managed and the field’s needs.

Re-Gen combines fungi, bacteria, and yeast selected to support residue breakdown, nutrient release, and nutrient availability for crop uptake. Each strain is grown and tested individually before being combined in precise ratios and freeze-dried.

Re-Gen contains live microorganisms. Follow the product label and safety data sheet for handling, protective equipment, storage, and first-aid instructions. Contact IMIO with product-specific questions before use.

Re-Gen is freeze-dried and shelf-stable until activation. Keep the powder dry and follow the storage conditions and expiration information on your product label. After activation, follow the label’s use window and storage instructions. Contact IMIO if another guide gives different directions.

Prepare the concentrate using the water volume specified for your pouch size. The current label specifies 4 fluid ounces of activated concentrate per acre, diluted for application at 10–20 gallons per acre. Follow your product label for the rate and directions that apply to your package.

Compatibility depends on the products in the mix. Confirm compatibility with IMIO before combining Re-Gen with other inputs. Follow the product label’s activation and use-window instructions for an approved tank mix; Re-Gen is compatible with some, but not all, herbicides.

  • Municipal water is safe to use; chlorine levels are not high enough to harm the microbes.
  • Well water is also safe as long as pH is under 8. If water is more basic, IMIO can provide citric acid to move pH closer to neutral.

Yes. Re-Gen can be applied with drones, standard sprayers, or irrigation systems. Direct application onto crop residue and follow the product label and IMIO’s guidance for your equipment.

Yes. Like any biological product, Re-Gen should not sit idle in spray lines. Rinse equipment after application to prevent microbial buildup.

Each strain is grown and tested individually, combined in precise ratios, and freeze-dried to preserve viability through storage. Growers activate the microbes with water before application. Re-Gen delivers 100,000× more active microbes than competing products, then places them directly on residue. Precise manufacturing, active biology, and targeted placement support dependable field performance.

Yes. Re-Gen supports nutrient recapture from residue in row-crop and produce systems. For row crops, the focus is managing heavy residue across seasons. For produce and specialty crops, the focus is breaking down residue between plantings and returning nutrients to the soil for the next crop.
