Does anyone know anything about it?
Snake oil? A replacement for poor soil and plant health management? Or a new tool to help improve efficiency?

I did a search and there are articles from Corteva and CPM but can't find out much more :(

The adverts just started for this today on TFF and I thought it was interesting- so i had a read up too @Renaultman . This video seems to outline the basics:


My question is how much N does the plant pull and how does this convert to reductions in applied? The 100% efficiency sounds great. So any savings are good.

Also can it be tank mixed with anything else or does that risk the live product?

We could do with a Corteva boffin popping along and giving us a bit of a talk.

this does sound very interesting and I would like to learn much more about how much N it may replace and what the relative cost is ?


also would like to see any trial results please ?

Just wondered if this bio stimulant is okay to be used in chlorinated tap water or does it need to be applied with rain water? Getting mixed messages from the agronomist and the label says it can only stand a very small amount of chloride in the water?? @Corteva Technical

Hi Chris, plants pull the different amounts of N depending on the soil type, availability of N in the soil, moisture, mineral fertilization, etc. Trials data show that Utrisha N can add 20-30 kg/ha on average to the cropping system. It is measured by yield in comparison with different fertilizer inputs.

With regards to the tank mixes, please refer to the tank mix list available on the Corteva website. There are products that can be damaging to Utrisha N, particularly some EC fungicides (mainly due to the solvents/adjuvants in the formulation). Also, compatibility often depends on the concentration of product in water - it can be non-compatible at 100 L/ha of water, but compatible at 300 L/ha of water.

Hope it helps.

Went to a Hutchinsons meeting last night and they had some impressive tramline trial
Results on this product. But I am sceptical of
The value of tramline trials. Have had a scout of internet and found these two trial results. Think I will save my money for a bit longer and await further results.

Lifted this out of the tramline trial discussion on yield:

"Yield results
The average measured yield of the control treatment was 10.86 t/ha, according to weighbridge results.
The Utrisha-N treatment reduced yield by 0.15 t/ha relative to the control, but this difference is small enough that it
could easily have been due to underlying variation rather than to any difference between the treatments."
