Natural nitrogen captured from the atmosphere and converted to plant-available nitrogen in the root zone.

Nutri-Life Bio-N contains organisms capable of converting atmospheric nitrogen to ammonium nitrogen in the soil. Azotobacter, a free-living nitrogen fixer, can tap into the 74,000 tonnes of nitrogen gas hanging over every hectare. Azotobacter are also renowned bio-balancers and they secrete hygroscopic mucilage in the root-zone, which assists in retaining soil moisture. Nutri-Life Bio-N is a multi-award-winning microbe blend that is the product of thirty years of development, involving over 40,000 individual field trials. It has proven a reliable and consistent performer in Australian conditions since 1998.

Benefits:

• Capable of fixing 50-75kg of nitrogen per hectare per crop cycle.

• Exudes a suite of natural plant stimulants (auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins) and bio-balancing substances.
• Seriously reduces the cost of nitrogen fertilising.
• Promotes improved Germination.
• Stimulates root growth.
• Non-Toxic to humans, animals or plants and completely natural.
• No withholding period.
• BFA applied - organic certification pending.

Information:

• If this product is not used immediately after opening, it will have a remaining three-month shelf life if refrigerated. Unopened bottles have a minimum 12-24 months shelf-life from date of manufacture.
• Molybdenum, cobalt and iron are essential for nitrogen fixation.
• Nitrogen fixation is directly related to the 'activity' of the microbes. In hostile conditions (eg toxic soils, poorly aerated soils, soils with a poor calcium:magnesium ratio, etc) microbe activity can be compromised.
• Any added carbon from crop residues, animal manure, fish fertiliser or molasses will boost the 'nitrogen fixation' potential.
• Microbes do not need to be 'active' to have a significant effect on seed treatment and early root establishment due to the high plant growth stimulant content of the product.
• It is very important to realise that high pressure rates with spray equipment can damage or destroy beneficial microorganisms. Try no to exceed pressures of 60 psi.
