NueGen is a granular soil amendment including a combination of sixty trace elements and twelve strains of soil bacteria and fungi.
NueGen has been independently proven to improve Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE), build root biomass, improve crop yield and enhance nutrient density.
Fertiliser nutrient losses from volatilisation, leaching and lock-up have significant economic and environmental costs. NueGen directly addresses Nutrient Use Efficiency by building root biomass and biological activity with Grow Safe® Minerals & Microbes.
NueGen has been independently trialled, tested by academia and proven by growers. NueGen by Grow Safe® is Australian made & owned.
NueGen can be blended with fertilisers, mixed with compost or applied as a standalone application. Final application rate and compatibility dependent on crop type, blending products and rainfall.
For more information on NueGen application, see page 15 on the NueGen Breakdown document.
NueGen contains trace elements derived from natural ores and sulphates.
NueGen includes a probiotic inoculant containing beneficial bacteria and fungi.
NueGen Minerals are a compound blend of Grow Safe® mineral ores and sulphates, providing sixty comprehensive, trace and ultra-trace elements. NueGen Minerals have a slow-release pattern, providing long-term soil, plant and animal health benefits.
For more information on NueGen Minerals, see pages 4 – 6 on the NueGen Breakdown document.
NueGen Minerals are inoculated with a biological concentrate of Grow Safe® Microbes, containing twelve strains of soil bacteria and fungi. NueGen has a concentration of 48 million Colony Forming Units (CFU) per-gram.
For more information on NueGen Microbes, see pages 7 – 8 on the NueGen Breakdown document.
NueGen has been extensively trialled by government, industry, academia and growers with varied plant varieties, soil types and seasonal conditions over a twenty-year period. These trials consistently identified an increase in Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE), crop yield, biological activity, Soil Organic Carbon, improved Root: Shoot ratios & enhanced biomass.
Replicated conditions of Dowerin, WA: significant gains in NUE with NueGen minerals & microbes. For more information, see page 9 of the NueGen Breakdown.
Gairdner, WA: phosphorus NUE with NueGen of 53.9% compared to 18.1% standard practice. For more information, see page 9 of the NueGen Breakdown.
MEAG Soil Consultancy trial - Mt Madden, WA: root-shoot biomass ratio of 50.5% compared to 26.9% on standard practice, and surface area of 890cm² compared to 360 cm².
Esperance, WA: identified a 24.5% increase in yield with NueGen minerals & microbes. For more information, see page 10 of the NueGen Breakdown.
Bruce Rock, Western Australia: plots with NueGen minerals & microbes had the highest yield, protein and hectolitre weights. For more information, see page 11 of the NueGen Breakdown.
Capel, WA: improved production, dry matter and composition of pasture species (outcompeted weed varieties). For more information, see page 13 of the NueGen Breakdown.
Pindar, WA: 204% increase to mycorrhizal colonisation with NueGen minerals & microbes, compared to standard practice. For more information, see page 13 of the NueGen Breakdown.
Replicated conditions of Dowerin, WA: significant gains in NUE and mycorrhizal colonisation. The size and activity of the microbial biomass of the soil regulates carbon accumulation (Zhu & Miller, 2003). For more information, see page 14 of the NueGen Breakdown.
Ravensthorpe, WA: greater returns/ha with NueGen minerals & microbes, with a net return of $518/ha, compared to standard practice of $433/ha. For more information, see page 14 of the NueGen Breakdown.
