Nitrolife is a highly concentrated suspension of free-living nitrogen-fixing bacteria, their biologically active metabolites (free amino acids, vitamins, sugars, polysaccharides, a balanced complex of phytohormone stimulators (auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins), enzymes, antibiotic substances against phytopathogens, etc.), trace elements, and components of the nutrient medium.
Nitrolife is a targeted action preparation that performs the function of accumulating free nitrogen in the arable layer of soil. Due to its unified complex of microorganisms, it is suitable for any soil and does not depend on the presence of plants in the soil (it can assimilate nitrogen both in the presence and absence of plants when applied, for example, during autumn cultivation).
Thanks to an improved method of deep cultivation, microorganisms synthesize a large amount of polysaccharide slime, which allows the preparation to be applied in one tank mixture with LCF (provided it is diluted with water and the pH of the tank mixture does not exceed 7.5).
Nitrolife exhibits additional functions, namely:
- the presence of auxiliary substances in the preparation – phytohormone stimulators (auxins, cytokinins, polyamines, etc.) activates the development of the secondary root system.
- sugars, vitamins, and amino acids promote the development of soil biota and increase natural soil fertility.
When Nitrolife is used without the application of nitrogen fertilizers, nitrogen fixation amounts to 40 to 60 kg of active substance per hectare.
Forms of nitrogen – mainly ammonium and nitrate.
With partial prior application of nitrogen fertilizers from 20 kg/ha of active substance, nitrogen fixation amounts to 30 – 40 kg/ha of active substance per hectare.
The amount of nitrogen fixed in percentage terms is about 70% in the first three months after applying the preparation to the soil in spring and about 30% throughout the year. This is due to increased average daily temperatures, decreased soil moisture, and the physiological-biochemical properties of microorganisms included in the preparation.

- application together with NPK or UAN
Treatment of seeds with NITROLIFE ensures the formation of a bacterial sphere within 2 – 3 cm around the seed, in which nitrogen will be actively fixed and available to the plant, accelerating its growth. The same process occurs when treating tubers.
The product is applied during sowing using an applicator or another convenient method into the seedbed. The temperature range for the product’s operation is from +5° to +40 °C.
It is permissible to apply together with NPK before sowing into the soil, provided that the soil has a neutral pH. When applying together with NPK or UAN, add the product to the tank mix no later than one hour before application, and use the working solution within 6 hours.
NITROLIFE can also be reapplied in the root zone during plant feeding at any stage of vegetation.
Procedure for preparing the working solution:
1. Fill the tank with water halfway, add plant protection products, micronutrients, and mix.
2. Add water to fill up to 3/4 of the tank’s volume, add NITROLIFE and mix for another 10 minutes.
It is not recommended to mix NITROLIFE in the same tank with soil pesticides or other aggressive components.
A preliminary compatibility test is recommended.
Stacking is carried out in piles, on pallets, and shelves at a distance of no less than one meter from closed heat sources, at a temperature from +3°C to +12°C and relative humidity not exceeding 70%.
Shake well before use.
Shelf life guarantee: 9 months from the date of manufacture at t° from +3°C to +12°C in undamaged packaging.
