Agraforum BioN helps your farm use the nitrogen you already own. Its biology works with your soil to pull nitrogen from the air and turn it into steady, usable nutrition for pasture, crops, and orchards. It starts working straight away, delivers consistently, costs less than urea, and doesn’t count toward your N Cap. A simple shift, real gains.
Agraforum BioN supports pasture growth through biological nitrogen fixation, providing a consistent supply of plant-available nitrogen across the season.
Across trials (7 Oct 2025 – April 2026):
Urea: 15,666 kg DM/ha ~ $160/ha*
Agraforum BioN: 17,173 kg DM/ha ~ $105/ha*
Agraforum BioN acts as a consistent, available nitrogen source that supports pasture growth when urea is reduced, delayed, or unavailable. With Agraforum BioN, you can improve your nitrogen programme flexibility and lower cost per hectare.
Trial results are in — Agraforum BioN matches or outperforms synthetic fertilisers, with healthier, more resilient crops across diverse conditions. Farmers are already reporting:
“Visually, where BioN is applied on paddocks, I found the pasture cover was very uniform.”

A smarter alternative to urea
Agraforum BioN delivers steady, plant-ready nitrogen at a lower cost, without counting toward your N Cap.
Using advanced microbial technology (EL-I Tech™, developed by South African soil biologist Gerhard Vermaak), Agraforum BioN harnesses living microbes that capture nitrogen directly from the air — fixing up to 80 kg N/ha over just 8 weeks.

We know New Zealand farmers need reliable results, not empty promises. That’s why Agraforum BioN delivers a smarter, science-backed way to grow stronger crops – using nature’s own nitrogen to power sustainable, profitable farming.
Developed by soil biologist Gerhard Vermaak, Agraforum BioN is backed by field research and proven performance across global farming systems. It’s the next evolution in nitrogen management for New Zealand agriculture.
Why buy Nitrogen when 78% of the air above you already is? Agraforum BioN’s patented combination of microbes convert atmospheric Nitrogen into a plant-available form — naturally feeding your soil and supporting consistent, healthy growth without relying on synthetic fertilisers.
Field trials show Agraforum BioN delivers growth and yield comparable to (or better than) synthetic Nitrogen. That means less input, lower costs, and increased yields.
With Agraforum BioN, sustainability doesn’t require compromise. Each application helps restore your soil’s natural balance, reduce fertiliser run-off, and cut your carbon footprint — all while maintaining productivity and profitability.
Agraforum BioN works with standard spray, fertigation, or in-furrow systems — no new equipment needed. Just 100 g/Ha mixed with water delivers results you can see.

Agraforum BioN doesn’t count towards your N Cap helping to future-proof your farm, reducing reliance on synthetic nitrogen fertilisers while maintaining yield performance and profitability.
Suitable for all pastures, crops and orchards.

100g of Agraforum BioN delivers 10,000 active bacteria per square centimetre.
Compatible with standard farm equipment — no extra investment required.
Agraforum BioN introduces living bacteria into your soil that capture Nitrogen from the air above your paddocks.
These microbes convert atmospheric Nitrogen into plant-available forms like ammonium, nitrates and amino acids.
Every paddock already has a huge supply of Nitrogen sitting above it – Agraforum BioN simply unlocks it and turns it into usable nutrition.
There are no Nitrogen units applied, and the biology continues releasing Nitrogen for around 8–10 weeks after application.
Yes. Across our New Zealand pasture trials, Agraforum BioN has matched and, in some cases, exceeded the performance delivered by multiple consecutive synthetic Nitrogen (urea) applications over the same period.
Rather than delivering a short spike, Agraforum BioN provides a steady supply of plant-available Nitrogen through biological fixation, which has translated into stronger cumulative pasture growth under the same seasonal conditions.
Yes. Because Agraforum BioN doesn’t apply synthetic Nitrogen, it does not count toward your 190 kg N/ha cap.
That gives farmers more flexibility to:
Agraforum BioN provides real growth without adding Nitrogen units.
Agraforum BioN works best when soil biology is active.
The key requirements are:
More water = better results.
Yes. Most farmers start by adding Agraforum BioN alongside their existing programme, replacing several rounds of urea during an 8 – 10 week period to test performance.
Agraforum BioN fits easily into:
It’s a flexible tool, not an “all or nothing” replacement.
Our team can help you plan where Agraforum BioN fits best into your system.
Our New Zealand pasture trials showed Agraforum BioN delivering stronger total dry matter production than standard urea treatments under the same conditions.
Dry matter percentages were similar across treatments, confirming the difference was genuine biomass rather than moisture.
