Biota Ammon 10%
Biota Ammon 10% is unique because it is the highest concentration liquid biological single fertilizer on the market. Due to the unique production process, the nutrients are 100% present in solution and can therefore be taken up directly by the plant (50% in 8 to 12 minutes). It can be used as a quick source of nitrogen, during maximum vegetative development and to recover from nitrogen deficiency. The product is fully made from plant-based materials and certified for use in organic agri- and horticulture. The ingredients are partly sourced from agricultural waste. Due to the natural origin the nutrient content may vary.
Use as a supplement to nitrogen in the soil or as a replacement when the soil has at least 3% organic matter content. Repeated applications of Azotobacter nitrogen fixating bacteria can be reduced by using Biota Ammon 10%.

It is advised to always have an expert make a fertilization plan and to start with a test application. No guarantees can be given in the event of incorrect use. Excessive use of ammonium can lead to calcium deficiency. It is advised to not use ammonium for more than 20% of the nitrogen requirement.
| APPLICATION | DOSE | INDICATION |
| IRRIGATION | 10 – 15 l/ha | Up to 4-8 applications |
| CROP | APPLICATION |
