Product offers nitrogen in short, targeted bursts
By Stephen Kloosterman
Associate Editor
At a time when growers are
beginning to apply a minimum of
nitrogen, two products from British
Levity Crop Science and OMEX
Agrifluids USA are marketed to
growers to target specific stages in
growth, such as as fruit bulking.
University California, Davis
researchers this summer published a
study about managing the application
of nitrogen in agriculture. Among
the study's suggestions are applying
fertilizers more precisely and getting
nitrogen to where it's needed most.
In some agricultural markets, access
to basic NPK fertilizer is a concern,
while in others, over-application of
nitrates is an environmental concern.
" People not having access to fertilizer
to grow food is as much of a problem
as inefficient use of it, " lead author Ben
Houlton said in a press release.
Slow-release, biological and
organic fertilizers have been
marketed as reducing excess nitrogen
application. Cell Power SizeN, a
Levity product distributed by OMEX,
also offers a chance to reduce the
total amount of applied nitrogen.
SizeN, developed by Levity, has
seen wide use in potatoes and is
now being marketed widely to fruit

growers in the Pacific Northwest,
Florida and Michigan.
" As an industry, we're under an
obligation to find ways of getting
more from less, " said Mike Williams,
CEO at OMEX Agrifluids USA.
" That means finding ways to improve
crop production, increasing yield
while reducing waste, and providing
opportunities to lower our reliance
on harsh chemicals. "
Levity's patented technology uses
targeted applications of stabilized amine
nitrogen to assist the plant in growing
during its current stage of growth. For
growers, this can be used to target the
specific stages of fruit or vegetable
growth, for example, to bulk up fruit.
