Maize (corn) is one of the world’s most important crops, feeding both people and livestock. But in today’s agricultural landscape, farmers are under pressure: rising fertilizer costs, soil degradation, and the need for sustainable practices. The good news? Biofertilizers are proving to be a game-changer.
At Grow’Well, we have tested our advanced microbial solutions across Europe, Africa, and Asia. Here we present two maize success stories in France and Georgia where our distributed biofertilizers, Azotovit® and Phosphatovit®, significantly improved yields and farmer profitability.
France: Yield Gains with Azotovit® and Phosphatovit®
Location: Eure-et-Loire, Loiret, Essone, and Seine-et-Marne, France (2012 maize trials)
French maize trials compared standard fertilization practices with treatments using Azotovit and Phosphatovit.
Key Results:
- Yield increases of +7.2% with Azotovit® + Phosphatovit® (12.64 t/ha vs. 11.79 t/ha).
- Even under nitrogen reduction (–25%), treated plots maintained or exceeded control yields.
- Yield gains held steady even in non-irrigated conditions.
This demonstrates that microbial fertilizers can reduce nitrogen dependency while still delivering higher yields.
Georgia: Extraordinary Yield Gains with Azotovit® and Phosphatovit®
Location: Separedjo, Georgia (2023 maize trials)
In Georgia, the same solutions were tested under different conditions.
Key Results:
- Plant survival: +6% more plants per hectare.
- Cob weight: +118% increase.
- Grain per cob: +160% increase.
- Final yield: 9.80 t/ha vs. 3.55 t/ha, a +176% increase.
Note: These results were achieved in non-irrigated maize fields, making the increase especially significant. Non-irrigated maize farming is a growing global challenge, and the demand for drought-resilient, sustainable maize solutions is rising rapidly. This trial proves that biofertilizers can secure yields even under limited water availability, a critical advantage for farmers facing climate variability.
Why Biofertilizers Work for Maize
Maize is a nutrient-hungry crop, especially for nitrogen and phosphorus. Traditional fertilizers supply nutrients but often lead to losses through leaching and volatilization. Grow’Well’s biofertilizers work differently:
Together, they reduce chemical dependency, enhance soil fertility, and improve plant immunity.
Azotovit® fixes atmospheric nitrogen into plant-available forms.
Phosphatovit® solubilizes locked phosphorus and potassium.
Farmer Benefits
- Higher Yields: +7–176% yield increases proven in trials.
- Lower Costs: Up to 30% less mineral fertilizer needed.
- Sustainability: Supports soil health, biodiversity, and long-term fertility.
- Profitability: More tonnes per hectare means more revenue.
