[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 7782007, member: 44728"] I have twice tried products that are supposedly Nitrogen Fertiliser replacements. The 1st was a product by Glenside called Eco N that was partially successful but didn’t seem to have any rhyme or reasons as to why it was or wasn’t. The 2nd was a product called Twin-N that was absolutely useless. Neither will work at all if no Nitrogen is applied at all so cannot be used to completely replace it. But the Twin-N had absolutely no effect whatsoever. I do use a product called Marriphyte , which is a Seaweed and Phosphite product and on this farm. I’m convinced that RB209 level on Nitrogen are far too high and actually reduce my yields by going over the Nitrogen response curve. What seems even more ridiculous is that according the RB209, I should not be getting the yields that I do from the amount of Nitrogen fertiliser I actually use. I put a lot of this down to the Marriphyte which Glenside show in their trials allow crops to achieve yields far higher than would be expected, without the requirement to use RB209 Nitrogen rates. This also involves far more detailed “Albrecht” soil testing than is usually done on most farms. The difference being not just showing what nutrients are available, but what is locked up, that could be made available. [/QUOTE]
