Pantego® Biologicals Activate Root Growth
Pantego® row crop biological formulations feature the industry’s only free-living yeast soil amendment. This phosphate-solubilizing yeast is Simply Vital. Not only does it increase the availability of phosphorus, it also supports extensive root growth to unlock and transport nutrients and water to the plant tissue.

How Pantego Works
Pantego is formulated in a dry, box applied formulation that can be added directly to farmers’ hopper boxes at the time of planting. Because of this, no added equipment is necessary. With product applied directly to the seed at the time of planting, our microbes go to work immediately at germination.
Improves Soil Activity
Microbial strains increase activity in the root zone around the plant.
Solubilizes Phosphate
Improves plant-available phosphorus which increases nutrient use efficiency.
Boosts Yields
More bushels per acre and more revenue generated.
Featured Proprietary Strains
Locus AG continues to follow the science with our Pantego product line by finding the right strain for the right use to deliver the most crop-beneficial formulations. All Pantego products feature this well-researched, proprietary strain of soil-dwelling yeast.
Trichoderma
Beneficial endophytic fungi
Our specially selected Trichoderma sp. is a beneficial endophytic fungus that resides within the plant. Trichoderma releases metabolites, which increases nutrient uptake and use. The result is vigorous root growth, development, and crop productivity.
Bacillus
Beneficial endophytic bacteria
A specially selected Bacillus sp. that is a beneficial endophytic bacteria and produces metabolites, breaking down and moving nutrients. Improved nutrient use efficiency results in enhanced plant vigor and crop yield.
Rhizobia
Crop-specific, nitrogen-fixing bacteria
Specially selected crop-specific species of Rhizobia, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, that form a symbiotic relationship with the plant. Rhizobia enter the roots and form nodules, which aids in nitrogen fixation and helps legume crops maximize their yield potential.
Row Crop Data
Randomized and Replicated, Third-Party CRO Trials
It’s not what we say that matters. It’s what the data proves. That’s why we partner with contract research organizations (CROs) around the country to test new and existing products on a variety of crops. These third-party trials provide independent analysis on important data points for farmers such as yield, size, quality, and tissue and soil nutrients.

Locus AG biologicals have helped us hang on just long enough to get to the next rain and the crop is showing it. Happy soil, happy plant.
We’re really shifting our input dollars, especially for phosphorus, and allocating it to the Locus AG products.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to apply Pantego?
Directly to your seed in the hopper box at time of planting and at rates indicated on the product label.
What is the difference between the products in the Pantego line?
Pantego BA contains a single non-endophytic strain. Pantego Duo BA contains the same soil yeast, plus an endophytic fungus. Pantego Thrive BA contains the same soil strain, plus an endophytic bacteria.
