Ep 8 - Replacing Urea with Biology? The Science Behind BioN
<p>In this episode of Where Inches Matter, Allan Piercy interviews Gerhard Vermaak of Custom Chemistry, developer of BioN - a patented biological nitrogen fixation technology. Over the past three years, replicated New Zealand pasture trials have shown statistically significant results, with BioN matching or exceeding urea performance under commercial conditions.</p> <p>Topics covered include:<br>• The energy equation behind nitrogen fixation<br>• Why microbes need carbon and how photosynthetic bacteria supply it<br>• The 1000:1 carbon-to-nitrogen relationship explained<br>• Water rates, soil volume and macro-porosity<br>• The role of molybdenum, cobalt and iron in nitrogenase function<br>• Cold weather performance<br>• Glyphosate, copper and microbial sensitivity<br>• Why this behaves like a true slow-release nitrogen source<br>• Patent status and global rollout</p> <p>This is a technical discussion grounded in field data and real farm experience.</p> <p>Subscribe for more episodes focused on practical, evidence-based agronomy.</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
