Nitrogen is one of the most important elements of plant mineral nutrition.

The functions of nitrogen in plant metabolism are varied, but they can be combined into 3 main directions:

  • participation in the synthesis of phytohormones.
  • participation in the synthesis of protein substances;
  • participation in the formation of reserve substances in the yield.

Nitrogen enters the soil from the atmosphere during thunderstorms, through nitrogen fixation by microorganisms and through the application of nitrogen-containing fertilizers.

Regardless of the origin of nitrogen, its oxidized forms NO3 NO2 NO are quite mobile and can be lost through runoff and leaching deep into the soil profile, and are also returned to the atmosphere by microorganisms. This phenomenon is called denitrification.

The scale of unproductive nitrogen losses is huge and can reach from 12 to 40%.

The main question: how to reduce the unproductive losses of this very important nutrient? The answer is clear: a balanced ratio of nutrients and the use of nitrification inhibitors!

The nitrification inhibitor from ECOORGANIC POLYACTIVE N – Boost

The fertilizer POLYACTIVE N – Boost contains special polymer forms of organic substances that attach to nitrogen ions in the fertilizer, forming a shell that protects nitrogen from volatilization or denitrification.

N – Boost protects nitrogen at the molecular level, reducing the availability of the micronutrients nickel, copper and iron to soil bacteria. The protection period can last up to 10 weeks.

The effectiveness of N – Boost depends on soil temperature and moisture, which affect how long nitrogen stays protected and available to plants.

Main functions:

  • Keeps nitrogen in ammonium form
  • Reduces unproductive nitrogen losses
  • Improves nitrogen uptake by 10–20%
  • Helps increase the yield by +5% and more
  • Minimizes the possible effect of nitrogen fertilizers on the environment

N – Boost is recommended at a temperature of 10–15°C, simultaneously with the application of liquid nitrogen fertilizers at a rate of 0.5% of the tank mix volume for all crops.
