Product catalog summary
Overview of Blaukorn® and NovaTec® Fertilizers
Blaukorn® and NovaTec® are premium quality granular complex compound fertilizers containing essential nutrients such as Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), Magnesium (Mg), Sulfur (S), and trace elements. These fertilizers are characterized by low chloride content and a fast-acting nitrogen source, combining both ammonium and nitrate forms. The granules have a perfect size distribution (90% within 2-4 mm) for even application, high phosphate availability, low dust, and strong granule integrity for optimal spreading.
Advantages of Complex Compounds
Compared to blended compounds, complex compounds like Blaukorn® and NovaTec® offer superior homogeneity in nutrient distribution, more accurate spreading, higher nutrient efficiency, easier handling, and reduced storage requirements.
Product Range
The Blaukorn® range includes various formulations such as classic, premium, suprem, N-Max, and pro, each with specific nutrient compositions. The NovaTec® range, enhanced with DMPP (3.4 Dimethylpyrazolphosphate), offers similar formulations with added benefits of reduced nitrogen leaching and increased efficiency.
Application Guidelines
Application rates vary by crop type, with specific recommendations for greenhouse vegetables, brassicae, lettuce, carrots, onions, strawberries, fruit trees, soft fruits, grapevines, and potatoes. NovaTec® is particularly recommended for conditions like free-draining soil, proximity to water courses, sparse rooting systems, and high soil pH.
Benefits of NovaTec®
NovaTec® stabilizes nitrogen supply by delaying the conversion of ammonium to nitrate, leading to lower nitrogen losses, reduced application frequency, improved yield and quality, and environmental benefits such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions. It also enhances root growth and reduces nitrate levels in fresh produce.
Trial Results
Trials have shown that NovaTec® improves nitrogen use efficiency, resulting in higher marketable yields and lower nitrate concentrations in crops like salads, cauliflower, cabbage, onions, apples, peaches, citrus, potatoes, and grapes.
Product Composition
Each product in the Blaukorn® and NovaTec® range has a specific nutrient composition, with varying percentages of nitrate-nitrogen, ammonium-nitrogen, P2O5, K2O, MgO, S, and trace elements like B, Fe, and Zn. These fertilizers are suitable for use in chloride-sensitive crops and salt-affected soils.

NovaTec®: Complex NPK-fertilizer with nitrification inhibitor DMPP (3.4-dimethylpyrazolphoshate). Reduces N-leaching and increases N-efficiency. During the active phase of DMPP (4 to 10 weeks, depending on soil temperature and soil humidity) the transformation of ammonium to nitrate is delayed. As a result N-availability is further adapted to the plants requirements and N-efficiency is increased. Fertilizer based on SOP, for usage in chloride sensitive crops and on salt-affected soils.
