• Nitrogen is a KEY macro nutrient needed for growth & development of the crop
  
  Important for chlorophyll production & protein synthesis
• 70% of the total N requirement for cereals is needed between GS21-39
• Conventional cereals will respond to an increase in available soil nitrogen
  
  This is often done through the addition of nitrogen fertilisers
• Applying no more than is required, helps to:-
  • Protect the environment
  • Reduce the farm carbon footprint
  • Improves MOI

This is where VIXERAN^® can help

VIXERAN® helps to optimise nitrogen fertiliser management in cereals in 2 ways:

• COMPLEMENT Yield increase in standard nitrogen fertiliser regime
• COMPENSATE Potential yield compensation in nitrogen reduction regime

Trials have shown VIXERAN^® can replace around 30 kgN/ha*

_{*Consult a FACTS Qualified Adviser for advice and guidance on nitrogen applications.Trials have shown VIXERAN® can replace up to 30 kgN/ha based on a reduction from the standard 100% nitrogen RB209 recommendation.}

Pulses provide their own nitrogen for growth and development... how can VIXERAN^® help?
Understanding the relationship pulses have with the rhizobium in the nodules, highlights why VIXERAN will help!

• Nitrogen fixing nodules are normally formed 3-5 weeks post emergence and start to fix nitrogen as soon as they are formed.
• Around the time of pod filling the nodules will gradually senesce and therefore stop fixing nitrogen.
• However, pulses are a great source protein and the demand for nitrogen is highest exactly when the nodules have senesced off, which means the plant robs the required nitrogen from leaves.
• This saps the plant of its photosynthetic yield building potential.
• By supplementing the nitrogen-need with VIXERAN^®, it reduces the burden on the leaves, allowing the plant to carry on photosynthesising and so increasing yield
