Bio N

Bio N is a groundbreaking biological approach to address nitrogen deficiency in New Zealand soils. Bio N is a plant bio stimulant that enhances growth when used in furrow, or as a soil dressing by fixing the nitrogen in the soil. Bio N has the capacity to fix up to 80kg N/ha over an 8 week period.

Key Benefits of Bio N

Stimulates and facilitates the biological fixation of nitrogen from the atmosphere for plant utilization.

Uniform pasture growth and cover.

Requires less application for equal / better results than commonly used urea.

Using Bio N will result in a more sustainable farming system

This innovative approach to essential nitrogen fixation was pioneered in South Africa by Gerhard Vermaak and dubbed EL-I TechTM. Using Bio N provides an application of microbes through in furrow or foliar spraying which facilitates the biological fixation of nitrogen for plant utilization.

How does it work?

Bio N contains EL-I TechTM proprietary blend bacteria. EL-I TechTM harnesses the energy production capabilities of photosynthetic organisms for nitrogen fixation. It is a combination of nitrogen-fixing bacteria that feed off sugar and oxygen, and other bacteria that photosynthesize in the soil to create these two food sources.

Crops:

All crops including Maize, Sweetcorn, Sorghum and Millet, Pasture, Wheat, Barley, Potatoes, Fodder Beet, Brassicas and Legumes: Dry bean, green bean, Soybean, Lentils, Lupins, Clover, Alfalfa and Peanut.
Apply 100g/ha dissolved in 100L of water through in furrow application.
Apply 100g/ha dissolved in 400L of water for spray application or via fertigation systems

 

Trial results are showing equal of better results in comparison to synthetic fertiliser use.
