LiveGrow™ Toll Manufacturing service can be a game changer for your microorganism and your business. Using our patented LiveGrow™ fermentation & formulation technology, we are able to manufacture any microbe as a metabolically active microbial product with cost of goods of up to 95% lower than your current cost, while extending product shelf life to up to two years or more at room temperature.
LiveGrow™ Formulated Product Features & Benefits
Low COGS
Products formulated using LiveGrow™ Technology have COGS on par with chemical products and up to 95% lower than any current microbial products that use existing dry or liquid product formulations
Benefit: Ability to sell in every crop market with a healthy margin, including low value crops
Benefit: Ability to compete with chemical products on price in every crop market
Benefit: Ability to dominate on price over any microbial product that is formulated using dry or liquid formulations
Extended Shelf Life
Products formulated using LiveGrow™ Technology can be stored at room temperature for up to two years or longer
Benefit: No need for refrigeration
Lowers distribution costs
Simplifies end-user storage
Benefit: Ability to compete with chemical products on shelf life
Benefit: Ability to store Gram negative products for up to two years or more at room temperature
Currently typical shelf life for these microbes is under 12 months.
Products formulated using LiveGrow™ Technology maintain significantly higher CFU concentration throughout shelf life. To achieve one year shelf life, dry and/or spore based products typically claim product concentration of not less than 10*4. LiveGrow™ formulated products generally achieve 2 years of shelf life with product concentration of not less than 10*7
Benefit: Potential for even longer shelf life if lower product concentration is acceptable for efficacy in the field
Benefit: Lower application rate can be used throughout shelf life, increasing profitability per acre
Increases profitability per acre by reducing amount of product that needs to be applied per acre while maintaining price per acre
Benefit: Improves end-user experience
Saves time for the farmer by reducing the amount of product and number of times a product needs to be applied
Metabolically Active Formulation
Products formulated using LiveGrow™ Technology contain live mycelium (and spores if the microbe produces them). Since they are not dormant like most microbial products on the market today, they do not need to take time to activate when applied in the field.
Benefit: Immediate action in the field after application
This aspect allows microbes formulates using our technology to outcompete their surrounding environment leading to significantly more microbes reaching their target, drastically improving product efficacy
Benefit: Dramatically reduces necessary application rate vs dormant formulations
Dormant formulations generally lose over 90% of their microbes when applied in the field, while LiveGrow™ formulation generally loses only 10%
Benefit: Reduces time between application and intended results
LiveGrow™ formulated products have shown visible results as soon as the next day post application. Dormant formulated products, because they need time to activate in soil, generally take weeks to show any results.
Patented LiveGrow™ Formulation
Microbes formulated into products using LiveGrow™ Technology are patent protected even if the formulated microbe does not have patent protection
Benefit: If the microbe is patented, LiveGrow™ formulation adds an additional layer of patent protection
Benefit: If the microbe is not patented, LiveGrow™ formulation offers a patent protected product that cannot be knocked off
High Product Concentration
LiveGrow™ formulated products are metabolically active with concentration range of 1E+8 – 1E+10
