Bion Environmental Technologies has announced promising results from several growth trials using its innovative fertilizer products.
Bion's nitrogen fertilizer—Liquid AB—is produced in a patented process from the ammonia and CO₂ that are released when biogas is generated from organic waste. Liquid AB is ammonium carbonate/ bicarbonate, a nitrogen source with a long history of use in traditional farming. It is OMRI Listed (Organic Materials Review Institute), the gold standard for use in organic farming. Bion's Liquid AB is one of an emerging class of soluble nitrogen fertilizers that are immediately available to plants and will help organic growers increase yields and profitability.
A wide range of stakeholders in the organic sector have received Bion's Liquid AB for a variety of growth trials and testing. Initial trials are in three categories:
Cannabis The College of Agriculture, Life and Physical Sciences at Southern Illinois University conducted an indoor trial to determine efficacy of ammonium bicarbonate as a nitrogen fertilizer for the cannabis industry. Trial results were published in the July 2025 issue of the International Journal of Plant Biology. In summary, the cannabis plants that were treated with ammonium bicarbonate as a nitrogen source were the tallest overall in the study, with enhanced vegetative growth, increased chlorophyll content, and greater plant height.
The other two sectors are tomatoes and milo.
Craig Scott, Bion's CEO, said, "We are pleased—but not surprised—by these early results. Soluble nitrogen is soluble nitrogen. It's important to understand we don't need to beat the performance of a fast-acting synthetic nitrogen fertilizer. Our organic version just needs to match it. It does.
Giving organic growers the readily available nitrogen they've lacked will boost their yields and productivity. That translates to increased profitability for the producer, lower prices for consumers, and a growing market for organic products. We're eager to see the farm level results we expect to generate in 2026, when we anticipate delivering initial supplies."
