Improve nutrient use efficiency. Simplify formulation.
Unlock the full potential of your biostimulant
Activance NUE is a CE-marked (PFC 6), humic-based biostimulant ingredient developed for fertilizer manufacturers working with specialty fertilizers and biostimulant blends. It supports nitrogen and phosphorus use efficiency across all crop groups and offers unique compatibility in high-salt and low-pH fertilizer systems — helping technical teams develop new products with lower formulation risk.
why activance nue?
A CE-marked ingredient designed for fertilizer formulation.
Multiple modes of action
Supports root development, improves phosphorus availability through metal-phosphate interactions, and increases nitrate uptake while reducing nutrient losses.
Claims for N & P use efficiency
Certified as a PFC 6(B) biostimulant, enabling PFC 7 declarations and simplifying the regulatory process.
Supports more efficient nutrient use
Contributes to improved nutrient use efficiency and more consistent crop performance.
Compatible with a wide range of fertilizer systems
Designed for reliable performance in high-salt and low-pH systems, liquid NPK formulations, fertigation and hydroponic systems, as well as water-soluble and solid fertilizers. Available as soluble powder and microgranules.
How Does Activance NUE Improve Your Crop Results
- Improve NUE: Activance NUE optimizes nutrient uptake and transport, enabling plants to use applied fertilizers more efficiently — resulting in higher yields and superior crop quality.
- Biostimulant Compatibility: Designed for flexibility, Activance NUE integrates smoothly with liquid NPK and micronutrient blends, maintaining stability across pH ranges and common fertilizer salts.
- Biostimulant Compliance: EU-certified (PFC 6) and compatible with other nutrient sources (PFC 7), Activance NUE ensures regulatory confidence and supports sustainable agricultural practices.

As a CE-marked PFC 6 biostimulant with NUE claims across all crop groups, Activance NUE helps fertilizer manufacturers develop PFC 7 products, use NUE claims in the final product, simplify regulatory work, and reduce development time
AGRONOMIC PERFORMANCE UNDER FIELD CONDITIONS
Open field trial results show consistent yield improvements across crop groups:
- Fruit crops: 4–11%
- Vegetables: above 10%
- Broadacre crops: above 5%
Good yield uplift enables a low-risk input to boost profit with a high ROI.
DISCOVER THE VALUE OF ACTIVANCE NUE
Modes of action
Stimulates root development
Stimulates root growth via activation of plasma membrane H⁺-ATPase, therefore improving nutrient uptake.
Activance NUE increased total root length by +28,6% over control.
Improves phosphorous availability
Improves phosphorus availability through metal phosphate complex formation, enhancing solubilisation and uptake.
Activance NUE significantly increased availability of phosphorus measured as nutrient export.
Increases nitrate uptake and reduces leaching
Reduces nitrate leaching by increasing nitrate retention and uptake efficiency.
Activance NUE increased nitrate uptake rate +21% over control.
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
Under the EU Fertilizing Products Regulation (EU) 2019/1009, Activance NUE:
- Is a CE-marked PFC 6 plant biostimulant with validated claims for nitrogen and phosphorus use efficiency across all crop groups
- Can be incorporated into PFC 7 fertilising product blends
- Supports claim substantiation in blends when used under validated conditions
HOW ACTIVANCE NUE CONTRIBUTES TO REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
How can Activance NUE be used under EU regulation?
Activance NUE is CE-marked as a PFC 6(B) non-microbial plant biostimulant for improving nitrogen and phosphorus use efficiency across all crop groups. It can be used in blends declared as PFC 7 products.
