Nytro launches larger-capacity Green Lightning machine

""Green Lightning is a machine that takes atmospheric nitrogen and converts it into a plant-soluble form within water," Nykolaishen says. Those using Green Lightning are advised to reduce rates of UAN or urea and replace that portion with Green Lightning, which is calculated at three pounds per gallon. The product is most commonly applied through a sprayer during a herbicide pass, though some growers are also placing it in-furrow with the seed, Nykolaishen says."

"The nitrogen is produced on farm using a machine delivered and installed by Nytro, with growers able to begin producing product once a suitable space is set up. Nykolaishen says that Nytro is entering its third season with the Green Lightning machine in Canada, with approximately 150 six-head units currently operating across about 65 farms and nine new 30-head containerized models will be on farms this winter, increasing daily production capacity."

"Small-plot trials conducted across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba - including work with Olds College and Lakeland College - are being used to confirm application rates, thought the work is not yet complete."
