Cut synthetic nitrogen and still keep your wheat yield – is it possible? On our test field we reduced synthetic nitrogen by 50%, used Bactorol Nitrogen and BactoStym, and harvested the same yield as the control field, but with lower fertiliser costs. In this post we explain the trial and why we now suggest a safer 30% reduction for most farms.
Four BactoTech products hold OFG Approved Inputs status. They help UK farms reduce synthetic fertiliser use, unlock soil nutrients, and grow resilient crops with lower impact and healthier margins – across organic, regenerative, and conventional systems.
AIC has warned farmers to order fertiliser early for spring 2026 as tariffs and logistics tighten supply. However, you can lower risk now. Lock in core tonnes and run a simple biologicals programme – FabaStym, BactoRol Nitrogen, BactoFos, RhizoForte and more – to trim N/P, protect yield and stay RB209-defensible if deliveries slip.
Field results from Gezira, Sudan, show that RhizoForte (seed) and BactoRol (soil) biofertilisers increased sorghum plant and kernel height, expanded leaf area, and multiplied rhizosphere bacteria by around ten-fold under limited irrigation-evidence that targeted microbial inputs can enhance performance when water is tight.
Wheat seed treatment can raise spring wheat yields without harming establishment. In this sandy-loam trial, treated seed matched control emergence and tillering, showed significantly higher vigour in June, and finished with a 12% yield increase!
Biofertiliser for peppers can make fruit look better and test better – without hurting yield. In side-by-side farm trials, BactoTech bacterial products increased vitamin C and total carotenoids, boosting colour, antioxidant value and shopper appeal.
Bacillus biostimulant for chrysanthemums strengthens roots, increases chlorophyll, and maintains top growth. Trials with BactoRol show greener, more resilient plants ready for market.
Composting hop harvest residues with Biokomposter accelerated decomposition, cutting AT4 values by up to 49% compared to untreated compost. The treated piles produced more stable compost, supporting safer field use and improved soil health.
Soil inoculants work by activating soil microbes fast. In our Bacillus-focused trials, we saw early rises in dehydrogenase activity and respiration alongside cleaner, quicker straw decomposition-useful for both farmers and gardeners.
Lime fertiliser is essential for balancing soil pH, but BactoRol lime fertiliser takes it further. Trials show it not only corrects acidity but also strengthens roots, stimulates beneficial microbes, and boosts crop yields. From carrots to strawberries, results prove it’s a powerful, sustainable solution for healthier soils and more productive harvests.
