BlueN is classed as a foliar applied biostimulant, composed of an exclusive strain of naturally occurring endophytic bacteria, Methylobacterium symbioticum. M. symbioticum uses methanol given off by the plant during metabolic processes as an energy source to fix atmospheric nitrogen and convert it to ammonium inside the plant. Ammonium is used to make essential amino acids essential for plant growth.
