Mosaic Biosciences has launched Renuvis Enzara, a residue management product designed to speed the breakdown of crop residue and help growers achieve more consistent field conditions ahead of planting.

The product is aimed at farms dealing with increasing amounts of residue, particularly in high-yielding corn, continuous corn, no-till and reduced-till systems.

Renuvis Enzara uses an endoglucanase enzyme to target the structural fibres that hold crop residue together. The enzyme begins working in cold conditions, including temperatures as low as 32 F (0 C), according to Mosaic. By breaking down the residue, the treatment creates more opportunities for naturally occurring soil microorganisms to continue the decomposition process.

The company says faster residue breakdown can improve seed-to-soil contact and create more consistent conditions for crop establishment. It may also improve the effectiveness of tillage while reducing equipment wear, fuel use and the need for more intensive tillage.

“Farmers are managing more residue than ever before and that creates real operational friction during an already tight spring season,” said Matt Sowder, director of global solutions at The Mosaic Company, in a news release. “Renuvis Enzara helps accelerate residue breakdown so growers can improve field conditions to create a wider planting window, enable improved machinery operations such as planting or tillage, and give every acre a better starting point.”

Field trials conducted in 2025 showed improvements in residue decomposition in both corn-on-corn and soybean-after-corn production systems, Mosaic said. Spring applications also improved emergence, plant stand and uniformity in corn and soybeans.

Renuvis Enzara can be applied in either fall or spring and is compatible with existing fertilizer and herbicide applications, according to the company. Mosaic says it can be incorporated into current residue management programs without requiring an additional field pass.
