BlueN™- powering plants with season-long
nitrogen capture
BlueN is a nutrient efficiency biostimulant containing Methylobacterium symbioticum.
It takes up nitrogen from the atmosphere and boosts nutrient efficiency throughout the duration of crop growth, contributing to increases in marketable yield.
BlueN provides a sustainable, alternative and supplemental nitrogen source that reduces reliance on soil‑derived nitrogen, ensuring the plant has access to nitrogen all season-long.
Potatoes
Potato trials conducted during 2023-2025 demonstrated that BlueN increased marketable yield by an average of 3.77 t/ha compared with the control plots.
|
|
Sugar beet
Sugar beet trials carried out between 2023-2025 show BlueN delivering a marketable yield benefit over untreated plots, in more than 88% of cases. Across all trials, BlueN produced an average increase of 11 t/ha, equivalent to an 8% uplift in marketable yield.
|
|
Maize
Across maize trials completed from 2023-2025, BlueN returned a yield benefit of 1.6 t/ha, equivalent to a 13% increase.

A small investment in BlueN delivers a big return across all three crops

Kinsidro® Grow+ - the metabolic biostimulant that elevates crop performance
Kinsidro Grow+ provides physiological support to crops by activating key hormonal pathways that influence cell division, root growth and foliar biomass that increase crop resilience. Its high fulvic acid fraction (62%) allows rapid penetration into plant cells, driving biological activity and nutrient uptake when crops need it most.
|
|
Key features include:
- Stimulation of root, shoot and leaf growth through increased cell division
- Improved chlorophyll content and photosynthetic activity
- Enhanced nutrient uptake capacity
These features create stronger, more resilient crops, better able to cope with stress and reach their yield potential.
Proven performance in UK and European cereal trials:
Across European and UK cereals trials, 73% of trials showed a yield response, with an average benefit of +0.2–0.29 t/ha, particularly where crops experienced early season stress.
UK cereal trials have shown:
- Increased root length and root dry weight
- Improved shoot biomass and crop colour
- Yield benefits when applied at mid tillering (GS25–30) or early stem extension
Kinsidro Grow+ is applied to winter wheat and winter barley to support post‑winter recovery, particularly where crops are late‑drilled, under stress, or slow to rebound. It is a foliar application used at mid‑tillering alongside herbicides, or at the T0 fungicide timing in cereals.
Kinsidro Grow+ helps crops bounce back faster after winter by building stronger roots and greener canopies – setting them up for better performance as the season progresses.

Introducing Harbest®
We have now launched our third biostimulant. Harbest is a unique biostimulant containing ureic nitrogen and water-soluble calcium oxide, for use in cereals, especially milling wheat.
|
|
By providing nitrogen in its readily available amine form, plants conserve energy that is otherwise used to convert ammonia or nitrate into plant proteins. This energy can then be used for growth, protein formation, and grain filling.
When applied to milling wheat at the milky ripe stage, Harbest provides the crop with nitrogen in the amine form, boosting grain protein by up to 1%.
To find out more about Harbest visit our product page here.
