That’s why we’re proud to share the results of independent research undertaken by Plant & Food Research at Lincoln, New Zealand, which investigated the effects of Flamingro™; Bay Nutrients’ certified organic chitin-based bioprotectant.
The 12-week glasshouse trial focused on white clover seedlings and compared plants grown with Flamingro™ against untreated controls. The results were clear: plants treated with Flamingro developed significantly larger root systems and stronger shoot growth, demonstrating the product’s ability to support healthier, more vigorous plant establishment. The study recorded an average 26% increase in both root mass and shoot growth, providing scientific evidence of Flamingro’s effectiveness under controlled conditions.
Healthy roots are the foundation of healthy plants.
A larger, more developed root system enables plants to:
For growers, these benefits can translate into healthier crops, improved resilience, and greater productivity over time.
Flamingro™ works differently from conventional fertilisers.
Made from sustainably sourced chitin and enhanced with humic and fulvic acids, Flamingro stimulates beneficial soil biology while activating a plant’s own natural defence mechanisms. Rather than simply supplying nutrients, it encourages stronger biological processes within both the soil and the plant itself.
The Lincoln research provides independent validation that these biological processes result in measurable improvements to plant growth.
We believe growers should have access to the science behind the products they use.
At Bay Nutrients, we’re committed to providing products that combine practical field experience with independent scientific research – helping growers build healthier soils, stronger roots, and more resilient crops.
Because better growth starts below the surface.
