Those products have been around for a while. Don't suppose the supply industry are too keen on them.I actually think the advert I see on this page, is one step towards improving farmings chances of moving in the right direction, my agronomist said there are 2 similar products one put on as a seed dressing and the other sprayed on the crop, pricing seems high, his words, but if true, giving our crops the ability to fix nitrogen seems a no brainer, and will help cut our use of man made nitrogen, so BlueN and its rival, if they do what they say and are reliable as in it’s not a gamble to use them, and they work, great, then get the government to back green nitrogen, for the rest.
Again my agronomist said it’s in trials, and it has been tested on farm, strangely he said it had a good effect on peas and beans. Which was a surprise, but from trials was true.
splitting fields of the same seed, one Half with the treatment one not.
his statement was price and effect, will be key. It’s a watch this space.
No doubt crop trials at shows will display them this year.
For me seed treatments seem the best way. Again he said the spray version is looking very difficult to time, from the looks.
