Boost efficacy with biostimulants
28th February 2025
Growers can enjoy yield increases and efficacy improvements on crops whilst reducing fungicide inputs, with interventions of natural biostimulant products from AminoA, the company says.
“AminoA FLO and AminoA BLAAZT have demonstrated significant potential in reducing disease in cereals and other crops, particularly within low or no fungicide programmes,” explains AminoA managing director, Richard Phillips. The natural amino acid biostimulant AminoA FLO is a highly concentrated l-isomer amino acid complex.
“Trials conducted by NIAB on winter wheat saw AminoA FLO produce a statistically significant yield increase above a reduced fungicide programme, and also a significant increase in green leaf retention, highlighting its role in maintaining plant health,” continues Mr Phillips.
“Improve yield and quality”
The use of AminoA FLO at T0 and T1 stages proved crucial in establishing yield potential and reducing fungicide reliance. The hybrid biostimulant product, AminoA BLAAZT was launched in 2021, reducing the total nitrogen application needed on crops.
“By harnessing the amine form of nitrogen, normally only produced and found in the plant itself, AminoA BLAAZT helps improve yield and quality in all crops,” explains Mr Phillips.
“Not only providing effective nitrogen nutrition, it also reduces the risk of environmental pollution from the run-off of easily leached chemical fertilisers,” he adds.
Formulated to mix with most agrochemicals, improving their efficiency, applying BLAAZT can result in reduced field operations, while significant amounts of the crop’s nutritional requirements can be delivered simultaneously, with trials and user experiences suggesting they can also help to reduce grower costs and improve profits.
