Reduce Fertilizer and Nitrogen Input

SCIENTISTS at an environmental biotechnology company have developed a biological product that could potentially be used to directly reduce the amount of nitrogen and other fertilisers used by arable farmers. 

Amnite® A100, created by Stockton-on-Tees-based CBio (Cleveland Biotech), relies on an improved symbiotic relationship between plants and soil microbes - by increasing and improving the biological activity in the soil, the plants are better able to utilise macro and micro nutrients.
