Azotic Technologies
Azotic is based in BioCity and was established to exploit Nitrogen Fixation technology developed in the Schools of Biology and Biosciences.

Profile
The company is focusing on enabling a specific range of economically important crops to grow with the ability to fix nitrogen from the air rather than relying on nitrogen added to the soil, reducing the need for fertiliser. This will be a significant economic benefit to growers, and carries the added benefit of reducing harm to the ecosystem.
Azotic raised substantial investment which it has used to conduct independent field trials with inoculated seeds in a range of crops around the world in different growing seasons. To date, the results in all trials have exceeded even the best of expectations.

Some fascinating stuff coming out of our labs recently looking into #Diazotropic bacteria and root architecture #NitrogenFixation

It colonises chloroplasts & fixes nitrogen from air.
In trials it ⬇️ synthetic N needed by 50%.
Applied as a granule at planting on commercial 🇺🇸 Maize🌽.
Hope for 🇬🇧 wheat🌾 seed treatment soon🤞⏳
AgroPages website refers to Azotic’s two new US Patents. (http://news.agropages.com/News/NewsDetail---36274.htm). Peter Blezard, Azotic’s CEO, states “They protect Azotic’s product development pipeline and highlight the company’s expertise in nitrogen fixation” #Nitrogenfixation. #Sustainableagriculture.
Azotic has just been granted two significant US patents. “Novel Microorganisms and Their Use in Agriculture”. and “Plant Inoculation Method”. These relate to Azotic’s natural nitrogen fixing technology (N-Fix®). #Nitrogenfixation #Sustainableagriculture.

AgroPages has just released its 2020 Biological Specials Report containing an article on Azotic Technologies (P32). Azotic is capitalising on the greater use of #biologicals, and #biofertilisers in agriculture. #Sustainableagriculture. #Foodsecurity. https://www.azotictechnologies.com/news-and-insight/latest-news/n-fix-a-must-for-agriculture/
#Farmers, keep an 👁 on this
@AzoticTech’s N-Fix seed treatment enables #crops to fix their own #Nitrogen.
Could be a game changer! http://news.agropages.com/News/NewsDetail---36077.htm
Our Maize glasshouse trials always manage to put a smile on our face despite a rainy morning in the east midlands #NitrogenFixation #BioStimulant

Technology such as @AzoticTech N fix bacteria would be a game changer. Everything else is tinkering around the edges
