Organic fertilization for rice
Rice is one of the world's most important cereals and one of the most demanding in terms of nitrogen. A well-structured fertilization program, with fractional applications of organic nitrogen and biostimulants at critical moments (tillering, panicle initiation and grain filling), can significantly increase production and the percentage of filled grains.

FAQs about rice fertilization
What is the most critical moment of fertilization in rice?
+
Tillering is the most critical phase for nitrogen: it directly determines the number of productive stems per plant and therefore the final yield. A second application at panicle initiation is equally essential for grain filling. Ecoganic NITROTECH 16, with its high concentration of rapidly assimilable organic nitrogen, is especially designed to cover these phases.
How are Ecoganic products applied in rice?
+
Ecoganic products are 100% water soluble and can be applied by fertigation in rice paddies with a technical irrigation system, or via foliar application with a sprayer. They are compatible with most conventional organic fertilization programs.
Are they suitable for certified organic rice?
+
Yes. All Ecoganic products are certified CE 2018/848 (EU), NOP USDA (USA) and JAS (Japan). They can be used in organic rice production certified by any recognized certification body.
