Bacteria as a nutrient factory

In a time when fertilizer prices fluctuate sharply, bacterial biostimulants offer a stable alternative. VIXERAN® and CEPACET® are two proven solutions that contribute to more efficient nutrient utilization, potentially saving up to 50 kg of fertilizer per hectare, depending on the crop.

VIXERAN®, which has been successfully on the market for several years, is a foliar application that uses the bacterium Azotobacter salinestris. This bacterium has the remarkable ability to extract nitrogen directly from the air and convert it into ammonium, a form of nitrogen that is directly absorbable by the plant. In recent years, excellent results have been achieved in various crops, including cereals, grassland, maize, sugar beets, and ornamental plants.

Dual action via the root
CEPACET®, now in its second year on the market, is a liquid formulation specifically developed for root application with a dual action. In addition to nitrogen fixation, the added bacillus megaterium ensures that other essential nutrients, such as phosphorus and potassium, also become more available to the plant. Positive practical experience has been gained with this product, particularly in potatoes, soft fruit, stone fruit, and various leafy and cabbage crops.

Sustainable future for fertilization
These biological solutions not only form a sustainable complement to traditional fertilization but also offer growers greater certainty because they are less sensitive to market fluctuations. Especially in nitrate-sensitive areas, these products can be a valuable addition to the fertilization plan, contributing to more efficient nutrient utilization while maintaining yield. VIXERAN® en CEPACET® responds to the growing need for reliable and sustainable fertilization strategies in modern agriculture.
