  5. MECHANISMS • Biotic N2 will improve the crop performance by using three main mechanism. • Biotic N2converts N2 from the air into a steady supply of plant available N through the entire crop season. • Biotic N2produces a large, more efficient root system due to production of Plant Growth Factors (PGFs) that gives improved capture of applied N fertilizers (N use efficiency). • Biotic N2improves soil health and structure. • Longer term use of Biotic N2 lowers soil disease pressure and builds soil carbon. • Biotic N2 microbes assist in mobilizing bound P. Nitrogenase N2 +8 H + 8e 2NH3 + H2

  7. BIOTIC N2 PROCEDURE • Do not vary this rate: • Use a 1 ha pack for 1 ha, a 5 ha pack for 5ha, or a 10 ha pack for 10 ha. • Step 1: REHYDRATING THE MICROBES • Fill the plastic rehydration container with 50 or 100 ml of non-chlorinated water (shake to mix in the microbe food). • Remove the sealed lid of the vial of microbes. • Pour in some water from the rehydration container and place a thumb over the top. • Shake to dissolve the microbes and pour them back into the rehydration container (repeat this until all microbes are in the rehydration container- for 10 ha packs repeat this with the second vial). • Screw the lid on firmly and shake thoroughly for 30 seconds to 1 minute. • Wait approximately 5 minutes then shake thoroughly again. • The microbes are now ready to mix into the application tank to apply to the crop. • The biotic N2 solution can be kept in the fridge for 1 week taking good care not to let them freeze.

  8. Step 2:APPLICATION TO THE CROP Application methods needs to deliver the Biotic N2 solution into the moist root zone. Contact with foliage is not a problem, but the bulk of the application should contact the root zone to maximize efficacy. Do not tank mix with fertilizers or agrochemicals. Application: Via overhead irrigation in enough water to take the microbes into the root zone. Via any fertigation system (micro-sprinkles, drip irrigation, trickle tape). Via liquid injection from a tine that cuts into the root zone (water supply 100l/ha). Via water run in furrow irrigation (flood irrigation). Via boom spray onto moist soil. Use very coarse or streaming nozzles and as much water as is practical. Note: Calculate the amount of water to be delivered to the crop area and mix in the correct amount of biotic N2 microbes solution after shaking it to suspend the microbes. Apply the tank missed microbes within 24 hours and stir to re-suspend the microbes in the tank if necessary. Chlorine water can be de-chlorinated by adding 2g of sodium thiosulfate (STS) per 100L. Pre –dissolve in a small volume of water and mix into the tank water thoroughly wait approximately 5 minutes before adding biotic N2 .

  10. Leaves & branches ENDOPHYTES Biotic N2 Microbes: Behavior after the Application. • When the Biotic N2 is applied via soil application they • colonize the rhizosphere. • They also move up into the plant tissue and end up throughout • the plant. • Azospirillum sp on rice • Root. • Biotic N2 microbes get carbohydrates and nutrients as root • exudates and from plant tissue. In return they provide N2, increase • root efficiency and root / soil health- a true symbiosis. X Y L EM Twin N microbes colonize roots Root exudates

  11. 1st Mechanism of Action • It fixes the atmospheric nitrogen into nitrogenous compounds that are immediately available to the plants. • NH3 is supplied steadily right through the season. • This helps keep total leaf N at optimum levels without high nitrates which reduces fruit • quality and shelf life. N2 From the atmosphere N Fixing Bacteria Nitrogenase enzyme N2+ 8H++ 8e- 2NH3+H2 Nitrogenfor Crop

  12. 2ndMechanism of Action • Biotic N2produces large root systems due to • auxin synthesis (IAA ). • Greatly increased root hair density gives better • nutrients capture of all nutrients. • Improved capture of mineralized and applied N • increasing nitrogen use efficiently. • More vigorous root growth help crops fight back • from root damage from pest and diseases. NOTE : Picture is from a DPI- measured comparison and root mass rating increased >13% in biotic N2 plots . This effect is mainly from increased root hairs increasing the root ball. Improved N nutrients is due to a combination of N fixation plus better N use efficiency via the effect of biotic N2 on roots.

  13. Trials and Results a) No Biotic N2 b) 2 months after the application of Biotic N2 Information: Organic Avocado Location : Australia Results: As you can see on the picture to the right there is a greatly increase in root density. No Biotic N2 b) 120 days after applying Biotic N2 Information: Organic Cherry Location: Chile Results: the application in here was via fertigation, as we can see roots showed much greater secondary root development.

  14. No Biotic N2 and N deficiency is evident b)21 days after applying Biotic N2 Information: Organic Blueberries Location: Chile Results: 21 days after applying Biotic N2 we can see that we can obtain a healthier leaf color.

  15.

  21. Conclusions

  22. Yields • Basically biotic fertility mimics natural fertility; however , it provides an interrupted • nutrient supplied to crops. • Since the Biotic N2improves the nutrients absorbance to the roots the crops grow up • faster and healthier than any other fertility. • Even though UREA has also an excellent yield the cost and extra care that has to be • provided to the crops affect in the cost of the production. • Quality • Biotic fertility specially Biotic N2has shown in the past decade a higher over –all • quality than Crops grown with other fertilizers like UREA and many others. • If too much N2is provided to crops this will affect the quality of the product and dry • or even kill the plants. Biotic N2 provides the right amount of nutrients needed by the plants. • Cost • UREA fertilizer is costly because you have to buy additional pesticides, fungicides and • herbicides that causes a large atmospheric impact leading to the pollution and • erosion of the soil. • In the future more money will have to be invested in order to restore the soil for future crops.

  23. Sustainable fertility • Biotic fertility constantly amends and re-mineralizes depleted soils. • Grower no longer worries about the exhaustion of soils (Now and the future). • As a result, the soil become healthier , therefore, the products become richer in nutrients. • *Eventually growers are able to back off the amount applied after their soils are • restored to a level of fertility (Remember : in conventional fertility they deplete • the organic matter in the soil. • Surface erosion • Biotic fertility does not upset topsoils and the C:N balance in the soil. • When this in-balance occur the loss of vital soil acids gels which act to hold the • surface of the soil in place resulting in erosion.

  24. Environmental Impact • Biotic fertility will greatly reduce the amount of green house gasses volatilized into the atmosphere than any other method. • Many companies around the world are attracted to this fairly new trend of becoming more eco-friendly, now it is the turn in the agricultural field. • Our soils are very poor in nutrients and everyday they are dramatically depleting. We must take actions in this matter and Biotic N2 is a great source.
