Azofix®
For nitrogen fixation
Use:
Grassland
Arable
Fruit & Vegetables
Description:
Azofix® is a biological fertiliser for increasing nitrogen content in the soil. Azofix® contains non-symbiotic, free-living soil bacteria Azotobacter vinelandii, which effectively assimilates atmospheric nitrogen in the soil and extracts bioactive substances that improve the development of plants.
Long-term use leads to improved soil structure due to increased levels of polysaccharide alginates exuded by these bacterial strains. The long-term use of Azofix® will allow farmers to make optimum use of bag nitrogen fertiliser and possibly reduce use by 20 – 50% over a 5 year period. This has positive implications from a soil health, environmental and economic viewpoint.
For Grassland Farmers, the following product combination should be considered:
- Grassland B – Bio-Boost & Azofix (Applied in the spring time through slurry tanker or sprayer)
For Arable Farmers, the following product combinations should be considered:
- Arable A – Bio-Boost & Azofix (Applied in spring time)
- Arable B – Fosfix & Bacto-K(Autumn); Bio-Boost & Azofix (Spring);
- Arable C – Fosfix & Bacto-K(Autumn); Bio-Boost & Azofix (Spring) & Plant Pro (GS 20 – 30 & GS51 – 60)
Benefits include:
- Increases the amount of nitrogen in plant available form
- Decreases reliance on chemical nitrogen inputs
- Synthesises plant growing hormones and B-group vitamins
- Enhances biological and enzyme activity of the soil
- Improves soil structure and water capacity

Application Rate and Timing:
Application Methods:
Maximise contact with soil. Soil Temperature – Minimum 5°C; Minimum pH 5.5, avoid waterlogged or excessively dry soils.
It is best to spray onto the soil after sowing or within 2 weeks after sowing. Azofix® can be sprayed onto soil before the crop canopy closes in fully but earlier is best.
Apply with crop sprayer or through slurry tank onto low covers once soil temperatures reach a minimum of 5°C in late March / early April. A second application is possible in August / September.
