Bio-N: A Biological Alternative to Nitrogen Fertilisers


Bio-N is a biological solution that harnesses the power of nitrogen-fixing microbes to provide crops with atmospheric nitrogen. This innovative approach offers several advantages over traditional nitrogen fertilisers:

  • Reduced reliance on chemical fertilisers: Bio-N, which utilises atmospheric nitrogen, can help reduce the need for synthetic fertilisers.

  • Improved nitrogen efficiency: Bio-N is highly efficient at converting atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form for plants, minimising nitrogen losses through leaching, runoff, and gaseous emissions.

  • Environmental benefits: Using Bio-N can reduce the carbon footprint associated with nitrogen fertiliser production and improve soil health.

  • Cost-effective: Bio-N can be a financially savvy alternative to conventional nitrogen fertilisers, especially when combined with reduced fertiliser applications.


How Bio-N works:

  • Microbes fix atmospheric nitrogen: Bio N contains specially selected nitrogen-fixing bacteria that can transform atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can absorb.

  • Enhanced soil structure: Bio-N promotes healthy soil structure, essential for optimal nitrogen fixation and plant growth.

  • Synergistic interactions: The microbes in Bio-N interact with the plant roots, exchanging nitrogen for plant sugars and creating a mutually beneficial relationship.


Key benefits of Bio-N:

  • Improved nutrient availability: Bio-N provides a readily available nitrogen source for plants.

  • Reduced leaching and contamination: Bio-N minimises nitrogen losses and helps prevent water contamination.

  • Maximised atmospheric nitrogen efficiency: Bio-N effectively utilises atmospheric nitrogen, reducing the need for synthetic inputs.

  • Improved soil properties: Bio-N can enhance soil health and structure.

  • Cost-effective: Bio N offers a cost-effective solution for nitrogen fertilisation.

  • Increased crop health: Bio N can contribute to healthier and more productive crops.


Bio-N is a promising biological alternative to nitrogen fertilisers. Note that various factors, including soil conditions, climate, and crop type, can influence overall performance. Therefore, it is essential to consider these factors when using Bio-N to ensure optimal results.
