BlueN^™ nutrient efficiency biostimulant

BlueN provides a crop with a unique way to capture nitrogen throughout the season, helping plants reach their yield potential.

Contains: Methylobacterium symbioticum.
Recommended rate: 333 g/ha
Application timing: BBCH 16 - 35
Application method: Foliar with sprayer, for possible tank mixes contact Corteva representative
Rainfast: 1 hour
Key benefits: 

• BlueN enhances plant growth and resilience by producing a constant flow of nitrogen directly inside the plant, to the plant. This process occurs throughout the growing season.
  
• BlueN is simple to store and apply. BlueN has a shelf life of two years.
• BlueN meets changing market expectations by providing a supplementary and sustainable source of nitrogen, without the risk of leaching or releasing additional greenhouse gases. BlueN reduces the dependency of nitrogen fertiliser uptake from the soil and ensures the plant has access to nitrogen all season long.
