RIZOFIX LUCERNE

Betting on Symbiosis: Field Experience with Rhizofix Lucerne

Lucerne is a demanding crop, especially during the establishment phase. When you are planting a field for several years, the cost of a mistake during seeding is multiplied. In recent seasons, we switched to "Rhizofix Lucerne" from the Uruguayan specialists at LAGE y Cia. S.A., and we immediately noticed the difference in root system development dynamics.

Application and Economics

The product comes as a paste, which initially raised questions about dosage, but in practice, it proved to be highly compatible with standard equipment. The main advantage for an agronomist is that the seed treatment is done only once. With a dosage of up to 1.00 L/ha, the product covers seeds evenly without clogging the treating machines. It is not just a standard growth stimulant, but a tool designed to create a powerful symbiosis between bacteria and the plant's roots.

Key Benefits:

• Active formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules from the first weeks of seedling life.
• Protective effect: plants are less susceptible to soil-borne diseases that often decimate crop density.
• Real yield increase: due to a deep and branched root system, lucerne tolerates drought periods much better, which is critical for perennial stands.

Working with "Rhizofix Lucerne" is safe — its hazard class 4 rating means there is no need to worry about excessive toxicity for staff or the environment. For the farm, this means peace of mind during pre-sowing preparation and predictable seedling results. If your goal is to obtain a robust, healthy stand that won't need to be reseeded due to poor density, this product from LAGE y Cia. S.A. is a justified investment per hectare.
