Azotic Technologies is spotlighting a new approach to crop nutrition that works from the inside out.
Unlike traditional nitrogen fertilizers applied to the soil, Azotic’s products use naturally occurring bacteria that live within plant cells.
According to Tom Tregunno with Azotic, “What this product is, is a bacteria called Gluconacetobacter Diazotrophicus or GD for short. So what makes it very different than other products in the market is it’s a nitrogen fixing bacteria that allows crops, like corn, wheat and even soybeans to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere. But how it does it is a little different. So the nitrogen fixing occurs directly inside the plant cell, providing nitrogen when and where it needs throughout that growing season.”
The company’s two flagship products, Envita and Encera, deliver that biology in different ways.
Tregunno says, “It fits your farm. So growers have all kinds of different options to use it. They can apply it as a foliar application. They can apply it as an Inferno application. So it fits your farm whether you’re putting it on at herbicide timing on corn or beans or you can even do it as a fungicide application. It’s very flexible”
Grower feedback has played a key role in shaping how Azotic supports these tools. Farmers have asked for clearer guidance on application timing and integration, leading to more tailored recommendations and expanded education efforts.
“They see it is really a protection against the unknown of loss. While getting a yield bump out in the field.”
As input costs remain volatile, technologies like these could offer farmers another tool to boost efficiency—right down to the cellular level.
