23.01.2022 Interesting episode from the Agtech - So What Podcast, talking about moving beyond the polarizing regenerative agriculture argument. With a variety of different topics touched on, including what consumers want, the responsibility of the different stakeholders and the relationship between farmers and their customers. The episode highlights some of the changes happening with U.S food giant, General Mills (the makers of Cheerios, Betty Croker and Yoplait) who are taking respon...sibility along the entire supply chain, including the sustainable production of food on-farm, with initiatives such as their pilot regen training programs for farmers who are interested in changing their practices. Kreotec is a product well-positioned to help farmers improve their sustainability on-farm, by lowering their use of synthetic nitrogen, whilst being able to maintain or improve crop productivity.

15.01.2022 All the way from Italy - Kreotec is providing this grower great results in their Sugar Beet! Left side untreated vs. Right side Kreotec We are so excited about these results. Want to learn more, get in touch with us via our website: thinkbio.com.au

14.01.2022 The best time of the year to be out and about checking all of our trials. Here's a little throwback to 2018 when we were easily able to get out and about to check our Victorian trial.

11.01.2022 An update from another trial in Italy, in a Sunflower crop. Kreotec has been applied at post emergence on May 31, 2020. On the Left side) A standard farm treatment has been applied with 200kg 11-22-16 in pre-sowing and 200kg Urea 46 at sowing. On the right side) A Kreotec Treatment has been applied with 200kg 11-22-16 in pre sowing and 100kg Urea 46 + Kreotec (reduction of 100kg urea)... Looking forward to seeing the yield results.

11.01.2022 Exciting to see the start of a lot of broadacre crops start to germinate. We are going to be sharing a variety of trials and journey through to show you the power of Kreotec and just how much of an advantage it can have when it comes to improving your nitrogen efficiency! Learn more via our website: https://bit.ly/thinkbio

11.01.2022 Kreotecs proprietary formulation allow the selected strains of bacteria to be foliar applied to directly inoculate the crop. Once inoculated, the bacteria colonise the plant and are able to fix atmospheric nitrogen and increase the production of the nitrate reductase enzyme, both mechanisms leading to elevated levels of nitrogen available to the plant. The improved nitrogen use efficiency has the dual benefit of increasing crop productivity whilst reducing the amount of nitr...ogen lost into the environment. Growers around the world are able to use the improved nitrogen delivery facilitated by the Kreotec microbes to either compliment the use, or reduce their reliance on applied fertilizer. Kreotec can be used in all crops with either one or two applications subject to the length of the crop cycle. Learn more via: https://bit.ly/thinkbio

11.01.2022 We have a whole variety of KREO products available for you including KREOplex, KREOSym and KREOtec.

10.01.2022 Nestlé and Unilever are leading the pack when it comes to the biggest 10 consumer goods producers, according to an Ethical Corporation analysis. Still, even the laggards are trying to up their game. A 2015 Global Sustainability Report from the US consumer research agency Nielson found that 66% of consumers were willing to pay more for a sustainable brand, up from 55% in 2014. Among millennial's, 73% were willing to pay a sustainability premium. We understand how important it ...is to become more sustainable as agriculture evolves. Sourcing of sustainable crops is becoming essential to consumers which is why KREOTEC is great for growers to reduce their chemical application of Nitrogen.

10.01.2022 We are starting to get as excited as we are with all of the trials we have on the go? Kreotec is leading the way allowing growers to reduce nitrogen levels by up to 40%. Next week we will be trialling in broadacre areas. Do you have any questions for some of our Agronomists about Kreotec?

10.01.2022 Some of our trials on Tea are proving to be very successful. Using 75 kg of 7-2-6 Neobiplus fertilizer as well as 25 grams of Kreotec. Before the introduction to of Kreotec, they were using was using 200 kg Neobiplus 7-2-6 organic fertilizer. Which is a huge deduction with an extremely positive result!

09.01.2022 Here is an excellent piece from the Agriculture Victoria, which talks about Improving Nitrogen fertiliser use efficiency. This is a create article that highlights why Nitrogen is so essential and also why we need to look at generating more sustainable practices including Kreotec to be able to be not only more efficient but also to be more environmentally friendly. A great read for anyone wanting to become more aware of what Thinkbio is achieving with Kreotec. http://agriculture.vic.gov.au//unders/nitrogen-fertilisers #agricultureaustralia #farming #australianagriculture #sustainability #agriculture

08.01.2022 Today we were trialing KREOTEC North East of Esperance today in a Barley Crop. KREOTEC is applied to either, compliment or reduce the reliance on chemical fertilizer, to increase yield. 1. Improve fertilizer Efficiency and Reduction of Nutrient Run off... With the prolonged use of agricultural chemicals and chemical fertilizer, naturally occurring microbe organism in the plant and soil are often destroyed. This lack of specific microbes leads to poor nutrient uptake by the plants and a high loss of the applied fertilizer into the environment. KREOTEC consists of 3 natural occurring microorganisms that improve the solubilisation and uptake of nutrients. This improved nutrient use efficiency of the applied fertilizer can lead to both an increase in productivity in crop yield, in addition to the reduction of applied fertilizer into the environment. 2. Increase Nitrogen Delivery to Plant through Nitrogen Fixation Two of the three C-active Microbes within KREOTEC are capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen. Through various trials conducted by Thinkbio, this has been quantified as delivering up to 30 kg nitrogen to the crops across the growing season. This delivery of nitrogen by the microbes is a slow, steady supply to the crop as opposed to a nitrogen flush on application of trifixN. This delivery of nitrogen by the microbes is a slow, steady supply to the crop and will continue throughout the crop cycle. In some crops with long life cycles a second application of KREOTEC is recommended. 3. Improvement in Plant Health and Ability to Cope with Stress C-active Microbes also produce an increase in phytohormones leading to an improved root growth, water adsorption, and mineral uptake. These factors combined assist the crops in periods of drought and other stresses. Learn more via https://bit.ly/thinkbio #CropTrials #AgTech #AustralianFarmers #Broadacre

07.01.2022 The best time of the year to be out and about checking all of our trials. Heres a little throwback to 2018 when we were easily able to get out and about to check our Victorian trial.

07.01.2022 What to Look for Post Application of KREOTEC Since KREOTEC is a plant growth promoting inoculant, plant growth promoting effect should be observed in the paddock. As soon as 2 weeks after application the following plant growth indicators maybe observed in KREOTEC applied crop: Improved and increased plant growth (Measured as biomass)... Larger root system Increased waxy cuticle on the leaf surface Decreased wilting due to water stress (Improved turgor pressure) Increased uptake of macro and micronutrients in the leaf, especially nitrogen. (Nitrogen should be measured as nitrate and total nitrogen) Increased chlorophyll (Measured by SPAD meter or green seeker) Increased brix levels Increased yields Effects are best observed during rapid growth. Noticeable effects are less prominent at full maturity or during grain fill. Ultimately, increased yields will be the results of one or several plant growth factors being influenced by KREOTEC microorganisms. Occasionally, a colour change in the crop may be observed as a result of ideal environmental conditions and excellent application. Noticeable effect are better witnessed in developing countries where yield are low and there is a greater room for yield improvement. Learn more: https://bit.ly/thinkbio
