A sustainable solution for farmers
Target Fertilisers, working with Brandon Bioscience, has created the Terra Range, providing a practical solution when it comes to reducing nitrate levels and preserving water quality.
Based in Co. Kerry, Brandon Bioscience has produced PSI362 Precision Technology, a seaweed-based biostimulant which optimises nitrogen uptake and utilisation within the plant.
With proven multi-level activity in the plant through absorption, transportation and utilisation, PSI362 is coated onto fertiliser granules and provides farmers with the solution to apply up to 25 per cent less nitrogen on farm while maintaining yields.
This biostimulant is derived from the brown seaweed, Ascophyllum nodosum, and its effects have been described in four peer-reviewed papers including the Journal of Agronomy and Frontiers in Plant Science. It is approved under the EU Fertilising Products Regulation (FPR) 2019/1009 and carries the CE mark.
PSI362 Precision Technology stimulates both nitrogen uptake and assimilation mechanisms in the plant when applied at the same time as your nitrogen fertiliser, and so it takes up more of the available nitrogen in the soil. This means similar biomass levels are produced with up to 25 per cent less nitrogen, and higher dry matter levels are achieved in the crop.
