HERE’S WHAT YOU WANT FROM YOUR SOYBEANS…
HERE’S WHAT YOU WANT FROM YOUR SOYBEANS…
Faster emergence, more early vigor, more disease tolerance, and the ability to absorb more of the nutrients already in the soil. You probably also want free soybean replants, free resprays for certain insects, and higher yields.

YOU WILL GET ALL OF THESE THINGS WITH HEFTY COMPLETE SOYBEAN SEED TREATMENT!
In the Dakotas and Nebraska, the percentage of farmers using a soybean seed treatment is very high. In many other states and especially Minnesota, we often see only 50% to 60% of farmers using a soybean seed treatment. Granted, if all you get is a fungicide/insecticide package and you have to pay $15, that’s not a very good deal.
WITH HEFTY COMPLETE…
You will get four fungicides and insecticide, but you will also get the industry’s leading inoculant, ROOTastic, along with an extender so it lasts longer. Plus, you’ll get Nutri-Cycle and Heat Shield. While you may not be familiar with these Natural products individually, they are tremendously important in all soils. HERE’S WHAT THEY DO.
NUTRI-CYCLE HAS 26 DIFFERENT MICROBES.
Some are there to help solubilize nutrients in the soil. We’ve proven this with plant tissue analysis in many side-by-side trials. When the Nutri-Cycle plants consistently have higher fertility levels, that shows what the microbes are doing, and it helps explain why we get higher yields when using this product.
WITH HEAT SHIELD, IT’S ALL ABOUT STRESS REDUCTION.
Some of these beneficial fungal endophytes were discovered in Yellowstone National Park, where soil temps are exceedingly hot around the geysers. These microbes help keep plants thriving despite heat, drought, salt, and other extremes.
BETWEEN THE COMBINATION OF NUTRI-CYCLE AND HEAT SHIELD, WE ALSO SEE MUCH FASTER EMERGENCE, OFTEN 10% TO 20% QUICKER THAN UNTREATED SOYBEANS.
Because of these features and the benefits brought on by our great fungicide/insecticide package, we can offer free seed replants when you purchase Hefty Complete on Hefty or Zinesto soybeans from us, as our replant percentage is far lower compared to planting without a treatment of Hefty Complete.
If you had a soybean aphid issue this year and your neighbor had Hefty Complete-treated soybeans, you probably noticed how you had to spray earlier by likely one to two weeks, and that neighbor may not have needed to treat all of his/her fields. Since Hefty Complete has a powerful insecticide, we often see season-long control on soybean aphids, cutworms, grasshoppers, and bean leaf beetles, which is why we offer up to two free resprays for those insects if you hit threshold levels.
Hefty Complete costs around $16 per unit, but I’d be shocked if you don’t gain that much in yield and then some. Plus, if you do have any replant or insect issues, we’ve got you covered.

It took us years and years of testing to find the best possible package to put on soybean seed, and Hefty Complete is now one of the most popular and yield-increasing seed treatments in the country – I’d argue nothing is better. If you don’t believe that, I’m guessing you haven’t put it side by side in several fields with untreated soybeans or even competitor-treated beans. As soon as you do, as long as you weigh things out you will see the difference, but even if you dig roots, track emergence closely, or run plant tissue samples, you’ll find this treatment will stand out above anything else.
