"We operate a mixed farm with arable land, environmental projects, and Christmas tree/sunflower cultivation across 550 acres, featuring a range of soil types from sandy loam to opencast clay loam. This year, with significantly higher rainfall, our wheat and trees were stuck in cold, wet soils all winter, and our sunflowers struggled to establish.

To support our crops, we apply AminoA FLO in both spring and autumn. It has been particularly effective in aiding the establishment of wheat and sunflower seedlings, while also mitigating stress in our Christmas trees. We use 1.5 litres per application for general nutrition, and up to 3-4 litres for frost mitigation, especially at early bud burst.

AminoA FLO has made a noticeable difference, and we now recommend and resell it to other Christmas tree growers. Last year, we hosted the prestigious national competition here at Billingley, and although it was held in Hereford this year, we were thrilled to be voted runner-up for ‘Best Nordmann Fir 2024.’

AminoA FLO has helped us maintain the quality of our trees and crops despite challenging weather conditions."

"This is my third year using the Triton direct drill, and despite one of the wettest years on record, I saw impressive results with AminoA. One field of winter wheat, which looked poor in early spring, yielded 3.4 tons per acre after applying AminoA and molasses. My spring oats and barley also performed well, yielding 3.9 and 3.4 tons per acre respectively.

I was sceptical at first, but AminoA made a noticeable difference. My agronomist, a cereal farmer himself, was amazed by the results and is now convinced of its benefits. He plans to recommend it to other farmers."

David Weld, Arable Farmer

“Our trials have shown AminoA products to work very well, and by choosing crop varieties carefully, can show a good level of resistance to disease. Depending on the conditions, I would say AminoA products can reduce the speed of disease development, although eventually you will need to use fungicides.

You have to look at costs, and based on growth analysis margins, I would say it compares well and suggest it can help reduce fungicide use. I am not saying it can be used in every circumstance, but bio-stimulants certainly have their place.”

Dr Syed Shah, Regional Agronomist, NIAB

“For potatoes, I am looking for oversized potatoes as they suit my peeling system so we can get them into vacuum bags quicker, and also for French fries, bigger tubers are better. Organic potatoes return a premium, so it is very cost-effective to use AminoA GRO which has seen me achieve good yields, and very good quality with a uniform shape and more equal tubers.

What I can say, across all our crops, is that AminoA GRO increases uptake of nutrients and organic fungicides, and in vegetable production brings much more uniformed food qualities, which leads to more value.”

Tobias Klenke, Organic Farmer, Central Germany

“I have applied AminoA GRO to a field which was hammered with pigeons, stripping the leaves.Following two applications of GRO, at 1.25l/ha each application, the crop recovered within a couple of weeks, with lots of new root growth.”

Andy Cheetham, Ceres Agri Services, Scotland

A typical nitrogen rate for my wheat crop used to be 180kg/ha – 200kg/ha, but with AminoA BLAAZT I have been able to significantly reduce N while achieving an improved crop. For potatoes, I have completely removed classical nitrogen applications. I would certainly recommend AminoA products to anyone looking to improve soil capacity and to enhance the soil biology for crops.”

Simon Craven, Arable Farmer, East Yorkshire

“I have been using AminoA BLAAZT for the past three years as part of a wider programme to reduce nitrogen applications. By including AminoA BLAAZT in foliar applications for spring crops to relieve stress in wheat, while applying later in OSR at pod fill, I was able to achieve a 40 kg reduction in nitrogen last year. We have still been able to achieve relatively good results with low inputs, and AminoA BLAAZT plays a role in supporting this,”

“This will be our third season using AminoA products. We have found them to be very beneficial for our crops. We used AminoA FLO on our 1st year with the maize. It grew 11 foot tall, with two healthy cobs. Last year we grew it on our combi-crop wholecrop of beans, triticale and rye. It helped it stay healthy and disease free as we don’t use fungicides. We are in a regenerative agriculture system, and we use very little or almost no chemical or fertiliser on our fields, both grassland and tillage.”

Ken Corrigan, Regen-ag Grower, Ireland

“We have found AminoA ICEAAX has worked well as part of an integrated frost protection strategy. Without quantified results, we are confident that using ICEAAX has provided an extra layer of protection.”

Joel Jorgensen, Managing Director for Viticulture Vinescapes

“We faced a particularly difficult year for Bramley apple growers, with relentless frosts through April and into May. We applied AminoA ICEAAX twice, the day before the frosts came in and then again eight days later as the frost temperature started to get quite low again.

I believe AminoA ICEAAX saved a higher percentage of our crop, and by late November we already had stock in for the next season. ”

Richard Robinson, Apple Grower, Northern Ireland

“I have used AminoA  products to aid quick and even establishment of crops, and at key major development and growth stages. The aim being to promote foliar and root growth, leading to forward even crops, and to enable the plants to produce excellent pod and seed numbers. Later drilled crops also visually appear to benefit with quicker early growth and leaf and root development.”

Helen Baxter, Independent agronomist, AM Consultants

“Soil biology is often neglected but is critical to a healthy farming environment and quality food production. By analysing soils and composts for numbers of bacteria, fungi, protozoa and nematodes, coupled with a review of cropping history, we can assess the microbial health of the sample.

This can result in more robust farming systems and is key to your total carbon calculations, improved physical state of the soil, potential higher yields, and lower inputs. We are very pleased to be working with AminoA, as bio-stimulants play an important role in enhancing the biological health of your soil.”

Nicholas Cooper, Agronomist Director, Mycolife Ltd

"I have been using AminoA BLAAZT on 1st, 2nd and spring wheats, as well as OSR. Some neighbouring farms only managed to achieve 8 t/ha yields with 8.5% protein, despite applying 240kg ha of nitrogen. However, we achieved 9 to 9.5 t/ha in 2nd wheats and up to 11 t/ha in 1st wheats, using 20-25% less N than the neighbours. Our spring wheats achieved 7.8 t/ha with 10% less N. The OSR stood on a block with a history of club root, so I did not have high expectations. However, it did 3.6 t/ha, the same as neighbouring farms, with 20% less N.”

Thorben Weise, Arable Farmer, Northern Germany

“We initially used ICEAAX some eight seasons ago at times of frost risk and sustained cold periods, but have since also introduced AminoA FLO from the range, helping with periods of heat stress under polytunnels. We use AminoA FLO in tank mixes with fungicides and foliar feeds, allowing for optimal time of application directly when needed.”

Tom Deards, Farm manager, AJ & CJ Snell, Former Soft Fruit Grower of the Year and Edible Grower of the Year Award winners (Grower Awards)

"This will be the third year we have used AminoA FLO and the second time we have used STAART. We apply FLO to all of our crops, and although it is still early days, we have noticed our crops have looked particularly good these last two years. With increasing pressures to make sure farming practices are shaped around the environment, we are looking to try the Amino BLAAZT this year."

Will Calton, Calton Brothers, Norfolk

“We have had very good success with AminoA, it dovetails beautifully into the system of strip tillage. I have found that if you can stimulate plant and root growth, you will get there, and I find AminoA is essential in that regard. By using AminoA products, we are getting results we feel that are superior to the norm.”

Tony Bell, Arable Farmer, Balbriggan, Co Dublin

“I have used AminoA FLO across all my crops for the past two years, and I’ve seen noticeable improvements in crop performance, particularly through periods of weather-related crop stress. Some recently harvested LG Ambassador Oilseed Rape had received three applications of AminoA FLO at 1L/ha throughout the growing season. The crop will yield 2.15 to 2.2 tonnes/acres at 11% moisture content.”

James English, Cahir, Co Tipperary, Ireland

“We undertook winter wheat trials with AminoA FLO. The trial evaluated the value of FLO in improving the performance of triazole fungicides against yellow rust and to determine the value of FLO in increasing crop yields.

This was a very positive trial, which demonstrated that either using FLO alone, or added to a reduced fungicide application, reduced disease."

Nick Anderson, Head of Crop Technology, Velcourt

"After seeing my 2nd wheat considerably out-yield the first after my initial trials with AminoA products, I have subsequently extended its use across other crops. AminoA products have certainly resulted in a clear reduction in nitrogen use and fungicides.

A typical nitrogen rate for my wheat crop used to be 180kg/ha – 200kg/ha, but with BLAAZT I have been able to significantly reduce N while achieving an improved crop.. For potatoes, I have completely removed classical nitrogen applications.

I would certainly recommend AminoA products to anyone looking to improve soil capacity and to enhance the soil biology for crops.”
