Key Takeaways
- Mosaic Biosciences launched Renuvis Enzara, a residue management product built on targeted endoglucanase enzyme technology to speed crop residue breakdown ahead of spring planting.
- 2025 trials spanning 91 locations across 21 states showed up to 5.6% better stand establishment in corn-on-corn systems and up to 6.4% in soybean-after-corn rotations.
- The product works through freeze-thaw cycles and is tank-mix compatible with fertilizer and herbicide applications, applied in fall, spring or at planting.
- Mosaic estimates the product could save growers $15 to $20 per acre in reduced equipment wear, fuel and labor costs.
- Matt Sowder, Director of Global Solutions at The Mosaic Company, said heavier residue loads are creating “real operational friction during an already tight spring season.”
Mosaic Biosciences Launches Renuvis Enzara for Residue Breakdown
Mosaic Biosciences has launched Renuvis Enzara, a residue management product built on targeted endoglucanase enzyme technology designed to accelerate crop residue breakdown ahead of spring planting.
“Farmers are managing more residue than ever before and that creates real operational friction during an already tight spring season,” said Matt Sowder, Director of Global Solutions at The Mosaic Company.
Enzyme Technology Works in Cold Spring Conditions
Renuvis Enzara is designed to function in cold conditions down to 32 degrees Fahrenheit and through freeze-thaw cycles, targeting structural fibers within crop residue to create entry points for natural soil microbes. Mosaic Biosciences says the product improves seed-to-soil contact and field conditions ahead of planting, reduces nutrient tie-up during residue breakdown, and can reduce tillage requirements, equipment wear and planter plugging. It is tank-mix compatible with fertilizer and herbicide applications and can be applied in fall, spring or at planting without an additional pass across the field.
The company is targeting the product at corn-on-corn systems, soybean-after-corn rotations, no-till and reduced-till operations, heavy residue zones, conventional tillage acres that follow high-yield crops, and fields coming out of cover-crop termination.
On-Farm Trials Show Emergence and Stand Count Gains
Mosaic Biosciences said 2025 on-farm trials spanning 91 locations across 21 states showed improvements in residue decomposition, seedling emergence, stand count and uniformity, with gains of up to 5.6% in stand establishment for corn-on-corn systems and up to 6.4% for soybean-after-corn rotations. The company estimates the product could save growers $15 to $20 per acre through reduced equipment wear, fuel use and labor.
Mosaic Biosciences Targets Tighter Spring Planting Windows
The launch adds to Mosaic Biosciences’ lineup of biological products aimed at helping growers manage input costs and field readiness. Residue management has become a bigger factor in planting decisions as growers plant into fields carrying heavier crop residue loads, an issue also shaped by rising input costs in corn production. The product is available through agricultural retailers and distributors beginning August 2026, timed for fall application.
