Rethinking the Planter Box Treatment: Change What’s Possible at Planting

Every spring, the planter is the heartbeat of the farm. It’s where decisions made in ounces determine outcomes measured in bushels. And for decades, the “planter box treatment” has meant one simple thing: lubrication.

For most growers, that’s talc, graphite, or some variation of a dry lubricant that keeps seed flowing smoothly through the meter and helps ensure consistent singulation. In more recent years, biological or nutritional elements have been added to the mix but have created more hassle than they seem to be worth. But at its core, the planter box treatment has remained a tool for mechanical efficiency, not biological performance. Until now…

Meet BioBoost: The Planter Box Treatment That Does More

BioBoost isn’t just a seed lubricant. It’s a next-generation planter box technology that merges physical performance with biological and nutritional power. It’s a seed lubricant, biological seed treatment, and micronutrient delivery system, all in one powerful product designed to give your crop a true head start.

When you add BioBoost into the planter box, you’re not just ensuring smooth seed flow, but you’re giving every kernel the biological and nutritional edge it needs to thrive from the moment it hits the soil.

The Science Behind BioBoost’s Performance

Dust:  Provides smooth application and even coverage.
Why this is important: Uniform coverage prevents skips and doubles, helping ensure every seed reaches its potential. Better flow and singulation mean more consistent stands and ultimately, more consistent yield opportunity across the field.

Macro + Micronutrients: Supplies essential elements that fuel early vigor, helping seedlings establish quickly and efficiently in the crucial first weeks after emergence.
Why this is important: It eliminates the need for separate in-furrow starter treatments or macronutrient packs—saving roughly $20 per acre. The early-season vigor drives stronger emergence, better stress tolerance, and better yield stability under unpredictable early-season conditions.

Endophytic Fungi (Beauveria bassiana): Powerful microbial partners that form beneficial associations with both the seed and the developing root system
Why this is important: Instead of acting simply on the plant, these endophytes enhance the seed's natural ability to interact with the soil environment from the very start. As these microbes colonize the rhizosphere and move endophytically within the plant, they enhance nutrient-use efficiency, promote early root development, and strengthen the plant’s innate defense pathways. This soil–seed–microbe synergy results in a more resilient plant that manages stress, uptake, and growth more effectively throughout the season.

Amino Acids: Serve as natural metabolic accelerators, stimulating root development and improving the plant’s ability to convert nutrients into energy.
Why this is important: Stronger early roots create a larger runway for nutrient interception and fuel faster establishment. More efficient energy conversion means better growth momentum and a more robust plant entering key yield-building stages.

Superior Food Source: Feeds beneficial soil biology and drives performance all season long, setting the stage for a more efficient, biologically active root zone.
Why this is important: Feeding the right microbes early creates a more balanced, functional soil ecosystem. That improved biology enhances nutrient cycling, increases availability throughout the season, and builds a healthier rhizosphere that pays dividends from VE to grain fill.

Delivery Method 

What truly sets BioBoost apart is its unmatched ease of use. Delivering a biologically activated planter box treatment with a level of convenience the industry hasn’t seen before. Though it is a dust-based product, its clean formulation means no mess and no worry, offering safe handling for both people and the planet. BioBoost fully replaces the need for talc or graphite, simplifying your workflow while enhancing performance. It’s also compatible with already-treated seed, so you don’t have to adjust your seed plan or change existing logistics. Whether you’re applying it directly in the planter box or in a pro box, the process is quick, clean, and intuitive. With no in-furrow system required, BioBoost brings true plug-and-play biological performance to the planter. And with consistent seed singulation and spacing, it protects the precision that drives yield. Add in six months of on-seed stability and a two-year shelf life, and you get durability, flexibility, and ease that outperforms anything else on the market today. The complete checklist: 

• Clean handling and peace of mind in the planter box.
• Replaces your need for talc and graphite entirely.
• Compatible with already-treated seed – No need to change your seed plan.
• Apply right in the planter box or pro box no in-furrow needed.
• Consistent seed singulation and spacing – Precision performance that protects yield.
• 6 months on-seed stability, 2-year shelf life – Proven durability and convenience.
   

The Bottom Line: From Lubrication to Activation

BioBoost transforms the idea of a planter box treatment from a mechanical aid into a biological advantage. It’s not just about getting seed through the meter—it’s about getting every seed off to its best possible start.

In a world where every inch of emergence counts, BioBoost ensures your crop begins the season with the right biological foundation, the right nutrition, and the right protection, because the first step toward higher yield starts right in the planter box. Want proof? See last year’s yield results.
