Nitrogen-fixing microbial extended

BioConsortia, a California-based specialist in advanced microbial products for agriculture, has announced some field trial results confirming that levels of nitrogen-replacement from its nitrogen-fixing seed and soil treatment products met or exceeded performance expectations when evaluated in potatoes, tomatoes and lettuce. This expands their potential market beyond cereals.  

The company’s products have already been validated through multiple field trials in cereals like wheat, rice and corn, where they “routinely deliver increased yield or enable nitrogen displacement”. In the fruit and vegetable markets, it will offer both seed treatment and formulations designed for application to soil or through drip irrigation.
