BlueN offers a unique way to facilitate plants to capture nitrogen thoughought the season.
BlueN is a foliar applied biostimulant composed of an exclusive strain of naturally occurring endophytic bacteria, Methylobacterium symbioticum. This bacterium uses methanol given off by the plant during metabolic processes as an energy source to fix atmospheric nitrogen and convert it to ammonium inside the plant. Ammonium is used to make essential amino acids essential for plant growth.
When applied, BlueN enters the plant though the stomata. BlueN concentrates mainly in areas of growth in and around plant leaf cells. Broadly BlueN will take about 1 week to colonise a plant and will fix the equivalent to 3kg/ha of applied nitrogen per week thereafter usually about 30kg/ha per season (10-week crop). Therefore, once colonised, BlueN provides the plant with a sustinable supplimental souce of nitrogen thoughout the season.
