Sulphur is a critical element in the process of symbiotic nitrogen fixation, where nitrogenase enzymes convert atmospheric nitrogen (N) into plant available nitrate (NO). Without sufficient sulphur, the nodules responsible for this process become less efficient, leading to reduced nitrogen fixation and weaker plant growth.
Sulphur also plays a key role in producing ferredoxin, an iron-sulphur protein essential for photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation. This protein helps rhizobium bacteria assimilate nitrogen within the nodules, ensuring that your crops have a steady supply of nitrogen throughout the growing season.
Maximize Nodule Metabolism and Crop Health with Bizi90 and Bizi85
Bizisul Inc.’s Bizi90 and Bizi85 products offer a slow-release elemental sulphur solution that supports your crops over the entire growing season. This slow release mechanism ensures a consistent supply of sulphur, enhancing the metabolic activity of nodules and facilitating the uptake and transportation of nutrients. Using Bizi90 and Bizi85 helps your legume crops efficiently use nitrogen, leading to stronger plants, higher yields, and significant cost savings. The steady sulphur supply also supports the formation of proteins and chlorophyll, crucial for healthy plant growth.
The Advantages of Bizi90 and Bizi85
Season-Long Support:
Our slow-release formula ensures that your crops receive sulphur when they need it most.
Enhanced Nitrogen Fixation:
By boosting sulphur availability, Bizi90 and Bizi85 maximize your crops’ natural nitrogen-fixing capabilities.
Sustainable Farming:
Reduce reliance on synthetic nitrogen fertilizers by supporting natural nitrogen fixation.
Savings per Acre:
Bizi's slow-release formula is a multi-year sulphur planning tool vs in-season options like ATS or AMS. Your cost per acre gets cut in half, putting money in your pocket and leaving your soils happier.
