Biolevel MaizeNP receives OMRI certification for use in organic corn production

Date:03-28-2024

Biolevel Ltd. announced it has received notification from the Organic Materials Review Institute that MaizeNP soluble powder is certified for organic corn production in the U.S. MaizeNP is a new multistrain, stress-tolerant bionutrition product that fixes nitrogen and releases phosphorous, potassium and micronutrients from the soil to make more balanced nutrition readily available to corn.

"MaizeNP provides corn crops N, P and K nature's way," said Laurence Berman, Biolevel chairman and founder. "By being OMRI certified, MaizeNP will now offer organic farmers more consistent, more convenient balanced nutrition to help boost yields. All farmers continue to be challenged with more efficient and effective ways to deliver sustainable nutrition to maximize crop production. This certification means organic and conventional farmers alike will now have a tremendous tool to achieve more wholistic nutrient cycling in their soils."

Biolevel has spent more than 20 years developing its bionutrition product platform, focusing on creating synergistic, multistrain products that are more consistent and convenient than current offerings. The company's proprietary productization process has produced multistrain biological nutrition products that are more tolerant to agronomic, environmental and logistical stresses, do not require refrigeration or additional on-site fermentation, and are shelf stable for two years. Biolevel currently offers MaizeNP for corn and PhosN for soybeans, both of which are now available in formulations that are OMRI certified.

MaizeNP soluble powder is compatible with a variety of soil-applied dry or liquid products, including biostimulants, to achieve more consistent, more balanced nutrition to provide greater yield potential. MaizeNP is also available as either a dry planter box treatment or liquid seed treatment. Biolevel anticipates receiving OMRI certification for the additional formulations in the near future.

Biolevel products are available from a growing list of retailers in the U.S.
