NZBioAmino
NITROGEN | AMINO ACIDS | BIOACTIVES
NZBioAmino significantly increases mineralisation, availability and absorption of micro-nutrients leading to improved health, vitality and immunity of plants and soil biota. Amino acids form the foundation of plant cells. They improve the strength of cell walls and enzyme activity. Soil biology and plants use precious energy to synthesize necessary combinations of amino acids to form specific functional proteins. Having a ready supply of quality amino acids at key stages of growth helps support immune and defence mechanisms and enables plants to maintain the ability to recover and thrive.
Directly applied to the soil, NZBioAmino supports and strengthens soil microbial communities, enabling better nutrient uptake as well as promoting extensive, healthy root systems. Foliar applications of NZBioAmino supports structural, metabolic, and mineral transport functions, improving chlorophyll production leading to improved photosynthesis and increased energy for growth, fruit set, ripening, seed fill and protein production. At 9% organic nitrogen, NZBioAmino supplies nitrogen in a recognisable, high-quality form that plants can utilise immediately.
Used in combination with high analysis N-fertilisers, NZBioAmino can significantly reduce nitrogen fertiliser use reducing costs while supporting soil functioning.

Application
4–5L/ha, 2–3 times during vegetative growth stage with 3–4 intervals
4–5L/ha, 4-week intervals during vegetative growth stage
Mixing:
Suitable for all common sprayers and spray nozzles and is compatible with most standard crop protection treatments. Please see our mixing guide for further information.
Note: Optimal spraying time is early morning or cloudy weather. Avoid spraying in windy, low humidity conditions or the heat of the day where chances of evaporation and burn are increased. Can be mixed with liquid synthetic nitrogen products.
Trial Data:
Crop: Strawberry Location: Guadalupe
Analyst: Pacific Ag Group
Application: 50% reduction Conventional Fertiliser (CNF) + 5L/ha NZBioAmino
Crop: Lettuce Location: California
Analyst: Pacific Ag Group
Application: 50% reduction Conventional Fertiliser (CNF) + 9L/ha NZBioAmino
Remote sensing equipment used to measure canopy density and greenness showed plots treated with increasing rates of NZBioAmino resulted in significantly higher readings for chlorophyll content. Statistically no differences in yields among the treatments for marketable lettuce was observed despite significant reduction in total nitrogen applied. Brix was measured for soluble solid content in extracted leaf tissue, with no significant differences observed. Increased returns (net benefit to grower of additional 500$/acre) due to reduced waste and larger sized lettuces.
