Field performance and mode 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 
Regulatory status under EU Fertilising Products Regulation (EU) 2019/1009

Activance NUE is CE-marked as a PFC 6 non-microbial plant biostimulant with validated claims for nitrogen and phosphorus use efficiency.
When incorporated into qualifying PFC 7 blends and used according to validated conditions, the existing substantiation can support product claims.

Documentation available:

  • CE-marked product label

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. 

  • Are additional efficacy trials required?

     Not if recommended dosage and application method is used. The NUE claims are already validated. 

  • Can NUE claims be used on the final product label?

    Yes. Certified NUE claims can be applied when the product is used with recommended dosage.

  • How should it be declared on labels?

    • Above 5% w/w: must be declared as
      “humic acid, sulfomethylated, sulfonated, potassium salt”
    • Below 5% w/w: optional

  • Which crops and application rates are covered

    Activance NUE is certified across all crop groups. Example ranges:

    • Broadacre: 2–8 kg/ha
    • Strawberry: 15 kg/ha
    • Vegetables: 4–5 kg/ha
    • Fruit trees: 7–10 kg/ha

  • What documentation is available?

    • CE-marked product label
    • EU Declaration of Conformity
