Organic fertilization for cereals

Cereals are one of the crop groups with the highest nitrogen demand per hectare. A well-structured organic fertilization program, with fractional applications at critical cycle phases—tillering, stem elongation, panicle initiation and grain filling—can maximize yield and grain quality in certified organic production.

Frequently asked questions

How many nitrogen applications does organic cereal need?

Winter cereals in organic production typically need 2-3 nitrogen applications: one at pre-sowing or emergence, another at tillering (critical phase) and a third at stem elongation. NITROTECH 16 at tillering and NITROTECH 2.5 as top-dressing can structure an efficient program for wheat, barley and oats.

Are Ecoganic products suitable for certified organic cereals?

Yes. All Ecoganic products are certified CE 2018/848 (EU), NOP USDA (USA) and JAS (Japan). They can be used in organic cereal productions certified by any recognized body in Europe.

How to improve grain filling in organic wheat or barley?

A correct potassium application at the start of grain filling, combined with an algae biostimulant (BOOST UNIVERSAL) that improves metabolic efficiency, contributes to better hectoliter weight and filled grain percentage. Chloride-free K-FLOW 20 potassium is especially suitable.
