In this What’s Working in Ag segment, Corey gets a chance to run the show and sits down with the team at AgX to talk about a new planter box biological seed treatment that’s creating buzz in corn production.
The conversation centers around Grow Pack CT, a corn-focused planter box treatment built to support early plant development, nutrient uptake, and season-long root protection.
If you’ve ever battled corn rootworm or worried about the cost and complexity of in-furrow insecticide systems, this segment is worth your time.
Corey talks with Gunther and Pat about:
• What makes this new treatment different from traditional planter box products
• How it builds off the success of Grow Pack AI
• Why this version is specifically designed for corn
• How biologicals can support nutrient solubilization and plant health
• What role it may play in helping repel corn rootworm
• Why it could fit especially well in conventional corn systems
• The simplicity of adding it without special equipment
• Real-world observations from on-farm use and root digs
They also cover why this matters financially.
With margins tight, input decisions matter more than ever. This product is positioned as a low-cost addition compared to many traditional insecticide systems — while still aiming to provide season-long support.
For growers looking for practical tools that are easy to use and worth trialing, this segment highlights one more thing that might be working in ag right now.
