Bank extra N for bigger savings than ever

Nodulaid® Inoculant and Nodulator® Inoculant Granules from BASF have always been great value. The current issues with urea supplies mean they now offer a bigger pay-off than ever.

 As well as boosting the yields of whichever grain legume crop you’re growing – including chickpeas, faba beans, field peas, lentils and lupins – both Nodulaid and Nodulator will fix residual nitrogen in the soil to feed following cereal crops.

 That ‘bank’ of N in the soil can save you hundreds of dollars a hectare in urea or other nitrogen fertilisers. The Australian Inoculants Research Group (AIRG) has estimated in the past that using inoculants usually saves Australian agriculture as a whole about $4 billion a year. If fertiliser prices are unusually high, the annual savings will be much higher too.

 Nodulaid has been a benchmark product for almost 70 years, partly because it has always been manufactured to the highest standards here in Australia using regularly updated local strains of rhizobia to ensure a strong crop response.

 Nodulator is now also produced at the upgraded BASF BioTech Solutions facility on the NSW Central Coast. It is the first and only granular inoculant on the market that offers both the extra convenience and accuracy of granules and the added quality assurance of an AIRG Green Tick, showing that it has been independently tested and approved for use in Australian conditions.

 That means both BASF brands now carry the Green Tick, so you can use them with extra confidence that they will repay your investment many times over.
