## Products & Services

### [Maximum Acre Solution](https://www.sound.ag/sound-solutions/maximum-acre)
*Solution*
Helps growers improve nutrient and water access, support crop health, and pursue higher yields through complementary soil biology products.
Maximum Acre combines SOURCE, a foliar-applied soil activator that stimulates beneficial microbes, with BLUEPRINT, an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inoculant that extends crop reach into the soil. Together, they help crops access nitrogen, phosphorus, micronutrients, and water throughout the growing season. SOURCE is described as supplying the equivalent of 25 pounds each of nitrogen and phosphorus per acre from a single foliar application. BLUEPRINT can extend the effective root zone by up to 100 times and is available in powder and liquid formats. Sound reports a 6–12+ bushel-per-acre corn yield increase with an 84% win rate across 32 commercial and strip trials nationwide. The solution is backed by a guarantee of at least a 1X return on investment from increased yield, subject to program terms.

### [Resilient Acre solution](https://www.sound.ag/inflect)
*Service*
Helps restore soil biology, improve nutrient access, and support vigorous, resilient corn on acres affected by demanding fertility practices.
Resilient Acre uses INFLECT, a seed-applied biological designed for corn acres with high-ammonium or manure-heavy fertility practices. INFLECT’s three microbial strains—two bacteria and an endophytic fungus—are selected to tolerate high-salt, high-stress conditions. Applied at planting, they help re-establish beneficial soil microbes, convert nutrients into plant-available forms, colonize roots, and support root growth, early vigor, stand uniformity, and crop stress tolerance. INFLECT is available in pouch and CLIPS application formats and is backed by a cash-back performance guarantee; terms apply.

- **Soil biology restoration** — Rebuild Soil Biology
- **Nutrient conversion and availability** — Improve Crop Nutrient Access
- **Root colonization and development** — Support Root Growth
