So, Corey, what we did with this one is in GrowPak AI, we have a Bradyrhizobium japonica, which is a soybean inoculant.
It doesn't do anything for you in corn, even though we still use it in corn with GrowPak AI, but it helps put nodules on soybeans.
So we dropped that one out of this package.
We added another trichoderma to help implant natural defenses for it to.
help ward off some of those early season seedling diseases.
And then what we did is we added two other biologicals.
One is going to help that nutrient solubilization right around that seedling.
And then the other one is to help farmers that fight corn rootworm.
Where I live and where Pat lives, if you look on the counties that are in red for rootworm pressures...
We live in the red.
Don't we, Pat?
Yes, we do.
So this is a plant's natural โ it's a biological that puts a natural defense barrier up and repels corn rootworm from the seeds.
This is not an insecticide.
This is not an insecticide.
It's a biological.
It's a natural biological that works to repel.
And what it does is it continues to inoculate that root system and it continues to grow with that root system.
So it's not just like an insecticide when you place it in the soil.
It stays right in that root zone, like that small part of that root zone.
