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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
