Understanding Nitros

Nitros is Pharmgrade’s premium nitrogen-fixing inoculant, delivering steady nitrogen from the air directly to plants. One gallon provides the equivalent of 10 units of nitrogen, making it a powerful, sustainable source for crops from small grains to potatoes. Nitros promotes plant growth, controls pathogens, and reduces stress, resulting in stronger plants and improved yields through three core benefits:

  • Improved nitrogen availability from atmospheric sources
  • Increased beneficial microbial activity in the soil
  • Production of growth-stimulating metabolites

Product Information

Nitros is a concentrated biological inoculum formulated with broad-spectrum, beneficial Bacillus and Trichoderma fungi species. Nitros is known as a Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR). This inoculum provides more than traditional plant nutrient uptake by promoting healthy soil biofilm on strategic root and plant surfaces. These AGBIOFILM® layers become strategic exchanges for nutrient flow and relief of crop stress. Carbon flows efficiently back and forth through these layers, carrying nutrients to the plant and sugars back to the microbes. This exchange is the key to effective yield increase. Nitros is rich in food for microbes. Nitros is a liquid substrate to establish AGBIOFILM® ecosystems in the soil, on the leaf surface, and the root rhizosphere. Nitros applications provide the best means to transport, propagate, and stabilize biological cultures on these AGBIOFILM® surfaces. Nitros may stimulate root development, increase plant vigor, yield, and quality of produce.

RECOMMENDED Application

For all agricultural crops, apply 3-7 gallons per acre, 3-4 times yearly. It can be used as foliar spray, fertigation, root drench, or in-furrow at planting. Mix 1.5-2.5 oz per gallon of water for root dips, foliar feeds, or pre-irrigation, applying 1 gallon per 100 linear feet. Contact a Pharmgrade representative for specific rates. Compatible with many fertilizers and pesticides—always perform a jar test before mixing.

HANDLING AND STORAGE

Skin contact may cause temporary staining. The product is non-hazardous. Store in cone-bottom tanks and agitate 10 minutes before use; in flat-bottom tanks, agitate 30 minutes. Avoid airblast or over-the-top agitation; use defoamer if needed. Agitate every four weeks and before transfer or application. Do not store longer than 12 months. Keep out of reach of children. Contact poison control if ingested.

Why Choose Nitros

Nitros is a leading solution in sustainable nitrogen supplementation. Formulated with a concentrated blend of nitrogen-fixing bacteria, it enables plants and soil to capture atmospheric nitrogen and convert it into a plant-efficient form, maximizing growth while reducing losses typical of traditional fertilizers. Nitros supports sustainable crop production and lowers reliance on synthetic nitrogen, delivering key benefits throughout your fertility program:

Supply:

Nitros supplies plants with a steady, reliable source of nitrogen by harnessing atmospheric nitrogen through specialized bacteria. This natural process reduces the need for costly synthetic nitrogen fertilizers, improving input efficiency and lowering production costs.

Support:

Beyond nitrogen fixation, Nitros contains facultative anaerobes and Trichoderma fungi that promote plant growth by producing beneficial metabolites, enhancing biocontrol against pathogens, and reducing stress. This multifaceted support helps plants thrive in challenging environments.

Sustain:

Nitros contributes to long-term soil health by increasing microbial diversity and vitality. This biological activity improves nutrient cycling, soil structure, and overall resilience, laying the foundation for healthier crops and sustained yields season after season.

How To Use Nitros

Nitros is a cutting-edge biological nitrogen supplement designed to deliver steady, plant-available nitrogen by harnessing the natural power of nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Developed to work across a wide range of crops and adaptable to multiple application methods, Nitros not only supplies essential nitrogen but also enhances overall nutrient availability. Its formulation supports healthier root systems and improves plant resilience, making it a vital component of sustainable fertility programs that aim to reduce reliance on synthetic nitrogen fertilizers while maintaining strong crop performance.

Recommended Rate of  3–7 gallons per acre, 3–4 times per year, with adjustments based on crop type and local conditions.

Nitros contains a specialized blend of nitrogen-fixing bacteria that colonize both leaf stomata and root zones, supplying plants with a steady, efficient nitrogen source that minimizes leaching and volatilization. Beyond nitrogen fixation, Nitros includes mineralizing and solubilizing microbes that increase the availability of phosphorus, potassium, and key micronutrients.

These microbes also produce metabolites that promote fine root development, improving nutrient and water uptake. This combination supports healthier, more resilient plants and enhances stress tolerance. Incorporating Nitros into your fertility program helps reduce dependence on synthetic nitrogen inputs while maximizing nutrient efficiency and crop growth.

This advanced microbial blend is adaptable to various application methods, including foliar sprays, fertigation, root drenches, and in-furrow treatments, allowing for precise delivery throughout the growing season. By integrating seamlessly into existing fertility programs, Nitros not only boosts nutrient availability but also contributes to long-term soil health and sustainability, supporting strong yields year after year.
