OFG Approved Inputs: Four BactoTech Biopreparations for UK Farms

OFG approved inputs

What “OFG Approved Inputs” Means

OFG Approved Inputs are products that meet rules for use in organic systems. In short, they are checked so farmers can use them with confidence. They are not food-product “organic certificates,” yet they are approved for use within organic management. Therefore, you can use them in organic, regenerative and conventional systems, with clear guidance and good records.

OF&G Approved Inputs: Cut Fertiliser, Boost Soil, Save Money

Tired of paying more for bagged N and getting less back? With four OF&G Approved Inputs, you can cut synthetics, unlock the nutrients already in your soil, and keep yields steady, without the environmental hangover.

Why This Matters Now

Fertiliser prices shift. Regulations tighten. Soils need care. Biostimulants to cut nitrogen and phosphorus offer a practical path. They can reduce synthetic fertiliser use, protect water, and support crop resilience. Because microbes help roots find and use nutrients, the fertiliser you still apply can work better. As a result, many farms replace artificial fertilisers in part, improve nutrient use efficiency, and save money over time.

1) BactoRol Nitrogen – Biological help with N

  • What it is: A microbiological aid that supports on-demand nitrogen for crops, improve nutrient use efficiency.
  • Why use it: To reduce bagged N while holding canopy and yield potential.
  • Where it fits: Early growth and main N timings, plus split-dose plans that track crop need.

2) BactoSoil Balance – Probiotic soil revitaliser

  • What it is: A Bacillus-based soil input that supports biodiversity and structure.
  • Why use it: To build a healthier root zone, improve aggregation and steady nutrient cycling.
  • Where it fits: Before drilling, at establishment, or after stress.

3) BactoFos – Mobilise soil phosphorus

  • What it is: A microbiological product that releases locked P into plant-available forms.
  • Why use it: To cut fresh P, strengthen rooting, and support strong early growth.
  • Where it fits: Fields with higher P indices or where P is present but unavailable.

4) BactoStym – Growth and stress support

  • What it is: A Bacillus natural plant biostimulant in an amino-acid-rich carrier.
  • Why use it: To boost root growth, help with stress, and lift quality.
  • Where it fits: Seed, early foliar, and before known stress windows.

How to Use Them to Cut Inputs (Simple, Step-by-Step)

  1. Test first. Check soil indices and texture. Then pick fields with high soil P or variable N response.
  2. Swap a slice, not the whole lot. Start by replacing a portion of N with BactoRol Nitrogen. Meanwhile, reduce fresh P where BactoFos can unlock reserves.
  3. Prime the rhizosphere. Apply BactoSoil Balance to build biology and help roots explore.
  4. Support at stress points. Add BactoStym at establishment or before forecast heat or drought.
  5. Monitor and adjust. Use tissue tests, NDVI, and field notes. Therefore, keep what works and scale it next season.

This staged plan helps replace artificial fertilisers (UK) in part, raise nutrient use efficiency, and lower risk.

Compliance, Records, and Fit with Your System

Because these inputs are approved for use in organic systems, they sit well in organic, regenerative, and conventional plans. However, always follow the label and keep simple records. Moreover, align rates with your agronomist’s advice and RB209. Finally, review outcomes after harvest and refine the mix.

Proof, Transparency, and Next Steps

We back our claims with product documents, safety data, and on-farm demos. We also keep labels and use-guides clear and practical. If you want, we can share case notes to help you plan your own test strip this season.

Quick FAQs

Are OFG Approved Inputs only for organic farms?
No. They are approved for use in organic systems, yet they also fit conventional and regenerative programmes that aim to reduce synthetic fertiliser use.

How much N or P can I cut?
It depends on soil tests, crop demand, and weather. Start small, measure well, and expand. In many cases you can replace artificial fertilisers in part and then hold yield with better nutrient use efficiency.

Will these products work with my current plan?
Check compatibility, follow labels, and speak with your adviser. Then integrate them with RB209, good timing, and sound field practice.
