At Lygos, we’re excited to share results from our latest Performance Sell Sheet for Soltellus™, a biodegradable polymer that improves crop performance. Soltellus is a multifunctional, water-soluble chelating agent proven to enhance crop performance, soil health, nutrient efficiency, and water quality. 

Key Data Insights from the Sell Sheet

The new sell sheet captures compelling data from trials conducted during the 2024 crop year. These results prove Soltellus's ability to deliver meaningful returns on investment (ROI) and substantial yield increases across multiple crops and regions. 

The extensive field trials, which were implemented across 13 states with a diverse range of soil types, weather conditions, and farming practices, have demonstrated that farmers utilizing our innovative product, Soltellus, can anticipate an average yield increase of 10.11 bushels per acre for an impressive ROI of 2-6X. This ROI shows Soltellus’s potential to not only enhance agricultural productivity but also to significantly enhance the financial sustainability of farms.
