Systemic Biological Nitrogen Fixation Solves
for Systemic Industry Changes
Consumers are evolving. They care more and more about
how their food is produced. Buyers are responding with
a commitment to increased sustainability and carbon
reduction. Growers are always looking for low-impact,
reliable tools to deliver high-quality, nutritious food. But
how can growers decrease nitrogen while still maintaining
or increasing yield? Systemic biological nitrogen fixation
provides a solution to industry changes.

" Many chip potato buyers are focusing on reducing nitrogen
and increasing sustainability, including offsetting carbon
use, " says Scott Bishop, U.S. National Sales Manager at
Azotic Technologies Limited. " Large growers face increasing
public scrutiny. Forty years ago, people didn't notice what
growers did, or they were close enough to the farm to
understand a bit more. Now, sustainability and the optics of
farming have become much more important. "

Nitrogen is essential to crop growth and development,
but crop available nitrogen decreases as it is lost to
environmental factors throughout the growing season.
If growers can get their potato plants to fix their nitrogen
throughout the season, the plants will have an abundant
supply at the right place and time to increase tuber numbers
and yield.

" We're seeing consistent results in many different
environments and scenarios, with applications in-furrow and
foliar, which is a real advantage for potato growers across
the U.S. in many different growing conditions, " Bishop says.
" No matter their area, variety or growing conditions, Envita
can help increase yield and help meet industry demands for
increased sustainability. "

In 2024 North Carolina round white potato trials, Envita
combined with grower standard practice produced 20 CWT
more than the grower standard practice alone, and potato
count increased by 3,000 per acre. Even when nitrogen was
reduced by 10 percent, the potato count was higher than
the grower standard practice without Envita despite drought
stress and no irrigation.

Michigan Manistee (chipping variety) yield and tuber
numbers increased with the addition of Envita and a 20%
reduction of total nitrogen in 2024. There also was a 75
cwt plus increase versus the grower standard and a nearly
30,000 tuber per acre increase in total numbers.

Michigan Russet Norkotah potato trials in 2024 showed
early emergence and vigor were improved even with reduced
nitrogen when Envita was added. The study, which resulted
in the best emergence, also produced the best yield. A 20
percent nitrogen reduction plus Envita achieved the highest
yield for Grade A and total yield of the trial, and Grade A
and B tuber counts were higher in the trials with Envita as
well. All potatoes treated with Envita had 40 CWT or more
yield of Grade A, and Grade B had a slight variation. Given
Russet potatoes' tendency for higher nitrogen consumption,
reducing nitrogen and adding Envita was profitable.

" Envita helps potato plants hang onto the first couple of
sets and resulted in the increased yield and tuber numbers, "
Bishop says. " The uniformity coming off the treated acre
combined with more sustainability throughout the process
goes a long way toward everyone down the value chain
getting what they want from potato production. "
