Modern agriculture places heavy demands on soil systems. Continuous cropping, heavy fertilizer use, and tillage can reduce microbial diversity, disrupt nutrient cycling, and weaken soil structure. Over time, soils lose fertility and biological balance, limiting nutrient efficiency and crop performance.

Sunrise is a high-CFU microbial inoculant and multi-strain biofertilizer designed to restore biological activity and strengthen the rhizosphere. This advanced microbial consortium for agriculture combines beneficial Bacillus, Brevibacillus, Pseudomonas, and fungal species that function as a soil probiotic for plants. Working synergistically, these beneficial soil microorganisms enhance nutrient cycling, increase biological nitrogen availability, and improve fertilizer efficiency for healthier, more resilient crops.

Each microbial group in Sunrise plays a complementary role in soil performance. The Bacillus and Brevibacillus species, recognized as phosphate-solubilizing bacteria and potassium-solubilizing microbes, serve as a bacterial biofertilizer that releases organic acids and enzymes to convert bound nutrients into plant-available forms. Pseudomonas species act as rhizosphere probiotics and plant growth-promoting microbes, producing siderophores that chelate iron and enhance micronutrient uptake. They also synthesize natural plant hormones (IAA, IBA, CK, GA) that stimulate root elongation and branching for vigorous growth.

The beneficial fungi, including Trichoderma, Aspergillus, and Penicillium, extend the network of this microbial consortium biofertilizer. These enzyme-producing microbes for nutrient uptake break down residues, recycle organic matter, and release phosphorus while acting as microbial EPS producers that secrete polysaccharides to bind soil particles into aggregates. The result is a biologically active soil ecosystem with improved structure, porosity, and aeration, creating conditions ideal for root development and long-term fertility.

By supporting these synergistic biological processes, Sunrise functions as a microbial soil amendment that rebuilds soil fertility and optimizes nutrient-use efficiency. This OMRI Listed and CDFA registered biofertilizer provides growers a sustainable solution for organic, regenerative, and conventional systems.

Case Studies

Georgia Commercial Tomato Field Trial: 36% More Cartons Per Acre with Soil Inoculant

Problem:
A commercial tomato grower in Georgia wanted to increase marketable cartons per acre and strengthen root development without raising fertilizer inputs across his Spring 2019 crop. Weaker vegetation, shallow roots, and physiological disorders like blossom end rot and sun scald were reducing the percentage of fruit grading as marketable at packout. The trial evaluated whether Sunrise Soil Probiotic, an OMRI Listed and CDFA registered multi-strain microbial inoculant of beneficial bacteria and fungi, could lift commercial tomato yield, fruit quality, and gross profit per acre when paired with the grower's existing fertility program. A 20-acre treated zone was compared head-to-head against a 20-acre untreated control under matched field conditions.
Before
The untreated 20-acre control zone yielded 2,200 cartons per acre across the Spring 2019 season, producing 44,000 cartons total. At $12 per carton, that came to $26,400 per acre and $528,000 in gross revenue, a respectable Southeast commercial tomato baseline but well short of what the grower believed the ground was capable of. Untreated plants showed weaker canopy coverage, shallow root systems, and reduced vigor through the season, leaving the crop more dependent on supplemental fertilizer to maintain growth. The grower also recorded higher incidence of blossom end rot and sun scald, both physiological disorders that pulled the marketable percentage down at packout.
During
After
The Sunrise-treated 20-acre zone yielded 3,000 cartons per acre, an 800-carton-per-acre increase and 16,000 additional cartons across the full block. Gross profit climbed to $36,000 per acre and $720,000 total, a 36% gain in both marketable yield and gross revenue. With Sunrise costing just $115 per acre, the trial returned an ROI above 8,000%. The grower reported visibly bushier plants with stronger, deeper root systems and improved canopy coverage in the Sunrise-treated rows. Blossom end rot in both tomato and pepper was minimal to nonexistent, likely driven by improved calcium uptake from a more biologically active rhizosphere. The grower also noted reduced supplemental fertilizer use, pointing to better nutrient efficiency from the soil biology Sunrise introduced.

China Greenhouse Strawberry Trial: 24% More Fruit and Higher Brix with Microbial Biofertilizer

Problem:
A commercial strawberry grower in China wanted to increase fruit count per plant and improve Brix sugar content over the December 2022 to February 2023 winter production season without changing the existing fertility program. In China's fresh strawberry market, marketable berries per plant and sweetness drive both packout rates and premium pricing at retail. The trial evaluated whether Sunrise Soil Probiotic, an OMRI Listed and CDFA registered multi-strain microbial inoculant of beneficial bacteria and fungi, could lift fruit count, soluble solids content, and overall plant vigor in an elevated tabletop greenhouse system. A treated zone was compared head-to-head against an untreated control across three months of harvest data to isolate Sunrise as the differentiating input.
Before
The untreated control zone averaged 34 fruit per plant in December, 79 in January, and 89 in February, totaling 202 fruit per plant across the three-month trial. Production did increase month over month as the crop matured, but the untreated plants showed visibly thinner canopy and less vigorous growth than the treated block. Brix readings declined steadily over the season, starting at 10.72 in December, dropping to 9.86 in January, and falling to 9.64 in February. For a fresh-market operation where sweetness drives buyer preference and premium pricing, that seasonal Brix decline translates directly to lower packout value at the retail end.
During
After
The Sunrise-treated zone produced 40 fruit per plant in December, 106 in January, and 105 in February, totaling 251 fruit per plant, a 24% increase over the untreated control across the season, with peak-harvest January gains hitting 34% more fruit. Brix readings held above 10.7 the entire trial: 11.22 in December, 10.86 in January, and 10.71 in February, outperforming the control by roughly a full Brix point every month. While untreated sugar content fell from 10.72 to 9.64 over the season, treated plants sustained Brix as nutrient demand increased, evidence that Sunrise helped maintain nutrient efficiency and sugar accumulation deeper into the production cycle. Treated plants also showed denser foliage, stronger canopy development, and heavier fruit set, with more berries reaching full color and market-ready condition.

Shandong Commercial Potato Field Trial: 31% Yield Gain and Better Tuber Uniformity with Microbial Soil Amendment

Problem:
A commercial potato grower in Shandong, China wanted to increase tuber yield and improve crop uniformity without overhauling his existing fertility program. The goal was to evaluate whether a multi-strain microbial inoculant could strengthen root development and nutrient efficiency enough to move the needle on marketable yield and packout consistency. The trial evaluated Sunrise Soil Probiotic, an OMRI Listed and CDFA registered multi-strain microbial inoculant of beneficial bacteria and fungi, applied twice at 45 g/ha (50 billion CFU/g) on a field transplanted February 1 at 48,000 plants per hectare. Harvest occurred on May 7, with treated and untreated zones evaluated head-to-head under matched field conditions to isolate Sunrise as the differentiating input.
Before
The untreated control field yielded 58,035 kg/ha. Side-by-side comparison photos from the trial show control potatoes were smaller and less uniform in size than those from the treated plot. For commercial potato production, that kind of size variability hurts packout consistency and cuts directly into returns per hectare, since buyers pay premiums for uniform, graded tubers. Without supplemental microbial support in the rhizosphere, the untreated plants relied solely on the conventional fertility program to drive both yield and tuber development, and the result was a baseline harvest typical of the production system but well short of what the field could deliver with stronger soil biology.
During
After
The Sunrise-treated field yielded 76,275 kg/ha, a gain of 18,240 kg/ha over the control and a 31.43% yield increase. Treated potatoes were also visibly larger and more uniform, pointing to stronger overall crop performance and better marketability at packout. The yield lift and uniformity improvement are consistent with what a well-colonized rhizosphere contributes to tuber development: improved nutrient cycling, root stimulation, and more balanced microbial activity in the root zone. For commercial potato growers looking to lift kg/ha and tighten size grading without restructuring their fertility program, this trial demonstrates what an OMRI Listed multi-strain microbial soil amendment like Sunrise can deliver under real production conditions.

Mexico Specialty Orchid Trial: 157% More Blooms and 87% More Branches with Beneficial Soil Microbes

Problem:
A specialty orchid grower in Mexico wanted to increase bloom count and branching density to improve plant quality and shelf appeal at point of sale without changing the existing nutrient program. In commercial orchid production, branches and blooms per plant are the two metrics that most directly drive plant value, since buyers grade heavily on visible fullness and flower count. The trial evaluated whether Sunrise Soil Probiotic, an OMRI Listed and CDFA registered multi-strain microbial inoculant of beneficial bacteria and fungi, could lift flowering performance and visual quality under matched greenhouse conditions. Over a 4-month period, branches and blooms per plant were measured across treated and untreated groups to isolate Sunrise as the differentiating input.
Before
The untreated control plants averaged 36 branches and 127 blooms per plant during the 4-month trial period. Branching was thinner, bloom set was lower, and overall plant fullness was visibly reduced compared to the treated group. The control plants established the baseline level of flowering and branching performance under the existing production program, with no microbial inoculant added beyond the standard fertility regime.
During
After
The Sunrise-treated plants averaged 67.5 branches per plant, an 87.5% increase over the control, and 327 blooms per plant, a 157% increase or roughly 2.6x the control. Treated plants showed denser branching, fuller bloom production, and stronger visual presentation at point of sale, the combination that drives premium pricing in commercial orchid production. The improvement came from a single addition to the existing nutrient program, with no other inputs changed between treated and control groups. For specialty orchid producers, ornamental plant nurseries, and greenhouse operations targeting the fresh-market trade, this trial demonstrates what an OMRI Listed multi-strain microbial inoculant of beneficial soil microbes like Sunrise can deliver on flowering performance under real production conditions.

South Carolina Commercial Hemp Trial: 25% Higher CBD with OMRI Listed Soil Probiotic

Problem:
A commercial hemp grower in South Carolina wanted to increase CBD content and total cannabinoid percentage at harvest without altering the existing nutrient program or risking non-compliant Δ9 THC levels. In commercial hemp production, cannabinoid percentage drives per-pound crop value while Δ9 THC compliance, capped federally at 0.3%, determines whether a harvest can legally move through the market at all. The trial evaluated whether Sunrise Soil Probiotic, an OMRI Listed and CDFA registered multi-strain microbial inoculant of beneficial bacteria and fungi, could improve cannabinoid production under matched field conditions. Control and treated plots were analyzed at harvest for Total CBD, Total Cannabinoids, Δ9 THC, Total THC, and moisture content to isolate Sunrise as the differentiating input.
Before
The untreated control plot tested at 12.30% Total CBD and 15.61% Total Cannabinoids, with Δ9 THC at 0.03%, Total THC at 0.53%, and moisture content of 71.0% at harvest. The control plot established the baseline cannabinoid profile under the existing production program, with no microbial inoculant added beyond the standard fertility regime. Cannabinoid percentages at this level reflect typical Southeast hemp production but leave room for improvement in per-pound crop value driven by CBD and total cannabinoid content.
During
After
The Sunrise-treated plot tested at 15.40% Total CBD, a 25.2% increase over the control, and 19.60% Total Cannabinoids, a 25.6% increase. Moisture at harvest measured 69.2%, slightly lower than control and favorable for post-harvest drying and storage. Δ9 THC measured 0.03%, identical to the control, while Total THC measured 0.69%. The trial demonstrated meaningfully higher CBD and total cannabinoid content in the Sunrise-treated hemp with no increase in measured Δ9 THC, important for commercial growers operating under federal compliance thresholds. For licensed CBD hemp producers, certified organic operations, and Southeast farms looking to lift cannabinoid content without disrupting their existing fertility program or compliance profile, this trial demonstrates what an OMRI Listed multi-strain soil probiotic like Sunrise can deliver under real production conditions.

Jilin Saline-Alkali Rice Trial: 182% Yield Increase with Multi-Strain Microbial Inoculant

Problem:
A rice grower in Jilin Province, northeastern China was producing rice under severe saline-alkali soil conditions with soil pH of 9 to 10 and salinity of 0.5 to 0.6%. In this region, seedling emergence commonly falls below 50%, and long-term reliance on NPK fertilizers with limited crop rotation has contributed to degraded soil biology and chronically low yields. The trial evaluated whether Sunrise Soil Probiotic, an OMRI Listed and CDFA registered multi-strain microbial inoculant of beneficial bacteria and fungi, could improve rice performance under these stressed soil conditions. Trial fields covered 3,500 square meters, transplanted in June 2015 with harvest in October 2015. Both control and Sunrise-treated plots were pretreated with EM bacteria to begin pH and salinity neutralization, isolating Sunrise as the differentiating input. Sunrise was applied at 14.4 g per 1,000 m² of the standard 50 billion CFU/g formulation, mixed into the soil at transplanting. No base fertilizer or pesticides were used, and a single NPK application was made mid-cycle.
Before
The adjacent control field yielded 212.5 kg per 1,000 m², reflecting typical productivity for rice produced on saline-alkali land in this region. High pH, elevated salinity, and depleted soil biology suppress seedling establishment and final harvest, and the grower deliberately selected plots with the highest saline concentrations in the region to stress-test the product. For rice growers working marginal saline-alkali soil, baseline yields at this level make standard production economics difficult and often push fields out of viable cultivation entirely.
During
After
The Sunrise-treated field yielded 600 kg per 1,000 m², a 182.35% increase over the control and nearly 3x the control yield. Because both fields received the same EM pretreatment and the same mid-cycle NPK application, the yield difference reflects Sunrise as the only differentiating input between the two plots. One month after transplanting, treated rice plants showed thick, healthy green growth visibly absent from the adjacent control fields, and at harvest, root observations showed longer and more robust root systems in the treated plants. The trial demonstrated that Sunrise can substantially improve rice yield under severe saline-alkali soil conditions, on land where conventional inputs alone had failed to deliver competitive harvests. For rice growers, distributors, and agricultural programs working with high-pH salt-affected soils, this trial highlights what an OMRI Listed multi-strain microbial inoculant like Sunrise can deliver on restoring productivity to degraded land.
