Rhizobium – Biological nitrogen fixation.
Improves plant performance, yield gains and increases biomass. Higher levels of post-crop nitrate provides nutrients for following crop.
Soil bacteria called Rhizobia works together with legume plants to take atmospheric nitrogen (N2) found in soil air spaces and ‘fixes’ it to the plant root system to form root nodules.
NoduleNTM is manufactured with highly productive AIRG approved Rhizobia strains, which significantly improve crop yields, even when background Rhizobia is present in the soil.
Active Ingredients: Rhizobial Strains 1×109 cfu/gram at date of manufacture (DOM).
Benefits of Rhizobia Technology
- Cost effective and reliable.
- Number of application methods, the two most common are slurry seed treatment and water injection.
- Free nitrogen.
- Peat carrier contains moisture and nutrients to help the Rhizobium bacteria thrive and improves survival.
- Approved by AIRG (green tick logo) to ensure highly effective Rhizobia strains for productive plant growth and N fixation.
- Legumes treated with the correct Rhizobium, convert atmospheric N2 into plant available N. Estimates 30-200kg/ha of N annually. Equivalent to 64-432kg of urea.
- Improves cereals plant performance when grown after legume crops, with improved yields and protein.
- No withholding periods.
