The word “biologicals” gets thrown around a lot in agriculture today. But ask ten farmers what they think, and you’ll hear everything from “snake oil” to “the future of farming.” The truth lies somewhere in between — and Sundown AgriSupply is here to help you cut through the noise.
Biologicals and biostimulants are products made from living organisms or natural compounds that improve soil health, nutrient uptake, and crop resilience. Products like Spraytec and Hefty Naturals are designed to work alongside — not replace — your existing fertilizer and crop protection programs.
So, are they worth it? Here’s the reality:
- On lighter soils, biologicals can improve nutrient uptake when traditional fertilizer alone isn’t enough.
- During stress periods (heat, drought), they can help crops hold on longer.
- Over time, biologicals improve soil structure and microbial activity, which boosts yield potential across rotations.
For Kansas wheat, Missouri soybeans, or Colorado irrigated corn, biologicals can mean healthier stands and stronger yields. They won’t solve every problem, but they’re an important tool in a modern program.
👉 At Sundown, we don’t push products you don’t need. We build balanced programs that include biologicals where they make sense — and skip them where they don’t.
