Mosaic Biosciences launches enzyme-based product to speed crop residue breakdown

Mosaic Biosciences has launched Renuvis Enzara, an enzyme-based crop residue management product designed to accelerate the decomposition of heavy residue and improve field conditions ahead of planting. The product targets challenges associated with higher-yielding hybrids, continuous corn and no-till and reduced-till systems, where increasing residue volumes can delay planting and interfere with seed placement and emergence.

Enzara uses endoglucanase enzyme technology to weaken the structural fibers that hold crop residue together, creating additional entry points for naturally occurring soil microbes. Mosaic said the technology begins working in temperatures as low as 32 degrees Fahrenheit and can be applied in either fall or spring. The company said the product is compatible with fertilizer and herbicide applications and does not require an additional field pass.

Mosaic said 2025 on-farm trials in corn-on-corn and soybean-after-corn systems showed improvements in residue decomposition, emergence, stand counts and uniformity following spring applications. The company said faster residue breakdown could also improve tillage effectiveness, reduce equipment wear and potentially lower fuel use by allowing growers to reduce tillage intensity. Renuvis Enzara is available in August 2026 for fall application.
