Lucent Bio Expands Its Climate-Positive Fertilizer Lineup with Soileos Copper: Bolstering the New Era of Soil-Safe, Microbe-Friendly Micronutrients
Copper deficiencies are quietly limiting productivity in many cropping systems. The impacts are subtle but significant—reduced yields, compromised grain quality, and weakened plant resilience. And in many cases, they’re going unnoticed. While traditional copper fertilizers can address these deficiencies, they also pose leaching risks and increase soil toxicity.
At Lucent Bio, we believe that growers shouldn't have to choose between productivity and sustainability. That's why we’ve created a new kind of copper fertilizer, one that's not only climate-smart, but also supports soil health and crop yields.
Introducing Soileos Copper
Soileos Copper is a soil-applied crop nutrition product that delivers Copper to improve photosynthesis and nitrogen utilization, strengthening resistance to fungal infections and enhancing crop yield through improved nutrition and sustained bioavailability. Soileos Copper is designed to integrate with your existing NPK programs with no system changes required.
A Soil-Safe, Microbe-Friendly Delivery System
Soileos Copper uses bioactivation, a process where soil microbes gradually release copper as the plant needs it. This means no synthetic chelators like EDTA, no runoff into waterways, and no pollution or disruption to the soil ecosystem.
Instead of disrupting your soil, Soileos Copper works with it, supporting the soil microbiome, improving nutrient cycling and helping your soil thrive season after season.
Field-Proven Science Behind Soileos
Soileos technology has proven its performance
across various trials all over Canada, thriving in different soil types and climates.
Soileos Copper is built on the same platform as Soileos Zinc and Iron, already shown to increase yields and drive soil health across a variety of crops and conditions.
Due to its unique mode of action, Soileos Copper is able to deliver nutrients across a range of soil types, including soils with:
- High pH where copper availability is limited
- Heavy Clays that bind copper and restrict plant uptake
- Sandy Textures that allow nutrients to leach out
From lab to fields, our Soileos platform has been validated to provide not only yield results but increases in soil health.
Built for Sustainability – Climate and Circular Economy Benefits
Lucent Bio is rooted in sustainability and dedicated to a circular economy, designing Soileos Copper to use upcycled cellulose fibers such as oat, pea, and lentil hulls, as key ingredients. This climate-smart design feature results in lower manufacturing GHGEs compared to synthetic micronutrients, and delivers a climate-smart solution for agriculture.
A Strategic Opportunity for Ag Retail, Industry, and Investors
The market is demanding more than yield. It wants climate alignment and long-term resilience.
Soileos Copper is:
- Easy to integrate into regenerative agriculture markets
- Built to meet ESG investment criteria
- Designed to deliver measurable ROI and scalability
For the agri-food industry, this is a unique opportunity to align with the future of farming—and help shape it circular!
