BioNutria presents biologicals that enhance glyphosate

The Danish company BioNutria presented the inputs Bio pH Control and Bio Ammoniumsulfat, which are additives that boost the action of glyphosate, reducing its consumption. 

The novelty was announced during Agromek 2024, the largest fair in Northern Europe, which received special coverage from AgroPages in Herning, Denmark.

It is widely proven that decreasing the pH of the sprayer liquid significantly increases the effect of pesticides. According to a study presented by BioNutria during the event, this increased effect makes it possible to reduce agrochemical consumption by around 30% to up to 50%.

"We conducted tests on different crops using Bio pH Control and Bio Ammoniumsulfat. The results show that the amount of Glyphosate can be further reduced," the Danish company stated.

BioNutria added that the pH reduction is enhanced with the application of Bio pH Control combined with the addition of Bio Ammoniumsulfat. "When spraying glyphosate, we always recommend lowering the pH with Bio pH Control and, at the same time, adding Bio Ammoniumsulfat," pointed out the biological inputs manufacturer.

BioNutria's experiments involved reducing red fescue, a perennial, low-growth grass that develops a strong root system. According to the company, this weed "is very difficult to eliminate, which clearly demonstrates how much difference a reduction in spray water pH makes."

Additionally, BioNutria added that the experiment with residual droplets shows that faster absorption and a better effect are possible.

Among the benefits of mixing Bio pH Control in agrochemical spraying, the company lists:

• The absorption and, therefore, the effect of pesticides is increased by 30% to 50% and, often, significantly more.

  
  

• The absorption of micronutrients increases significantly

  
  

• The lower use of pesticides generally provides the farmer with significant financial savings.

  
  

• At the same time, the lower use of pesticides results in a much smaller negative environmental impact by 30-50% and, often, significantly more.

  
  

• The sprayer always remains clean, and you avoid clogged nozzles and filters.
