Fixes up to 80 N/Ha over an 8 week time period
Nitrogen fixation
El-I-Tech TM harnesses the energy production capabilities of photosynthetic organisms for nitrogen fixation.
The innovative approach to nitrogen fixation, pioneered in South Africa by Gerhard Vermaak and dubbed El-I-Tech involves the application of microbes through foliar spraying, facilitating the biological fixation of nitrogen from the atmosphere for plant utilisation.
Trial results are showing equal or better growth rates with Biodynamic N in comparison to Urea.
It is a combination of nitrogen-fixing bacteria, that feed off sugar and oxygen, and bacteria that photosynthesise in the soil to create these two food sources.
Crops:
Pasture, Maize, Sweetcorn, Wheat, Barley, Potatoes, Fodder Beet, Brassicas and Legumes.
Application rate:
Apply 100g/ha dissolved in 100L of water through in furrow application.
Apply 100g/ha dissolved in 400L of water for spray applicator or via ferti-gation systems.
