NITROLIFE is a highly concentrated solution of free-living nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which contains free amino acids, sugars, polysaccharides, vitamins, plant growth hormones and stimulators of bacteria cell division. The total percentage of these substances is 18-20%.
NITROLIFE is a directed action product that performs the function of accumulation of free nitrogen in the topsoil. Due to the unified complex of microorganisms, it is suitable for any soil type and doesn’t depend on the presence of plants in the soil (it can assimilate nitrogen both in the presence of plants and without them in the case of application of the product, for example, during autumn cultivation).
Thanks to the improved method of deep cultivation, microorganisms synthesize a large amount of polysaccharide mucus, which makes it possible to apply the preparation in one tank mixture with LCF (if it is diluted with water and the pH of the tank mixture is not higher than 7,5).
NITROLIFE has a secondary functions:
– The auxiliary substances in the product – plant growth hormones (gibberellins, polyamines, salicylic acid) – stimulate the development of the secondary root system.
– Sugars, vitamins and amino acids stimulate the development of soil biota, which affects the microbiological activity of the soil.
When using NITROLIFE without applying nitrogen fertilizers, nitrogen fixation is from 40 to 60 kg of active substance per 1 ha.
Nitrogen forms are mainly ammonium and nitrate.
With partial preliminary application of nitrogen fertilizers from 20 kg/ha of active substance, nitrogen fixation is 30-40 kg/ha of active substance per 1 ha.
The amount of fixed nitrogen is about 70% in the first 3 months after applying the product into the soil in the spring, and about 30% throughout the year. This is due to an increase in average daily temperatures, a decrease in moisture in the soil, and the physiological and biochemical properties of the microorganisms included in the preparation.
