alt=\"\" width=\"686\" height=\"463\"><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Why Do Macronutrients Matter?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle2\">Beneficial bacteria need the right balance of nitrogen and phosphorus to support cell growth, metabolism, enzyme synthesis, and energy production, among other functions. Without these nutrients, microbial growth and activity are sluggish. Wastewater does not fully biodegrade. Contaminated soil stays contaminated. On the other hand, too <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle3\">much <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">nitrogen can cause problems and slow down the cleanup process. That is why it is important to be able to recognize nutrient deficiency and stimulate microbial activity with the right proportion of nitrogen and phosphorus when needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Signs of Nutrient Deficiency<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle2\">Nutrient deficiency is very common in petroleum contaminated soil, which requires an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0304389424020855\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"fontstyle2\">optimal level of 136 mg\/kg of nitrogen <\/span><\/a><span class=\"fontstyle2\">to support bioremediation. In wastewater, nutrient deficiency most commonly appears in industrial sewage (rather than municipal waste), affected by low-nutrient effluents such as those from paper mills or palm oil mills, or fluctuations in the use of cleaning chemicals. Such nitrogen\/phosphorus deficiencies can manifest themselves in excess sludge, poor flocculation, and slimy gray foam. Manure lagoons and compost piles that have dried out over time also tend to be deficient in the macronutrients nitrogen and phosphorus.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Solving Nutrient Deficiency with MACRO N\/P<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">\u2122<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle2\">Once identified, these problems are relatively easy to solve with nutritional supplements like MACRO N\/P<\/span><sup><span class=\"fontstyle2\">\u2122<\/span><\/sup><span class=\"fontstyle2\">. MACRO N\/P<sup>\u2122<\/sup><\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">offers a nitrogen-phosphorus ratio of 5:1, which is typically the ideal balance to stimulate healthy microbial growth. David S. Llano (Inside Sales Rep &amp; Product Support at Bionetix<\/span><sup><span class=\"fontstyle2\">\u00ae <\/span><\/sup><span class=\"fontstyle2\">International), explained why this is the case: \u201cMicrobes need more nitrogen than phosphorus for making enzymes, proteins, and nucleic acids, but both are essential. A ~5:1 N:P ratio maximizes microbial activity without leaving excess nutrients that could cause environmental harm.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">If you think your soil, wastewater, manure, or compost piles need some biostimulation this year, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bionetix-international.com\/contact-us\/\"><span class=\"fontstyle0\">contact your Bionetix<\/span><sup><span class=\"fontstyle0\">\u00ae <\/span><\/sup><span class=\"fontstyle0\">representative today to check nutrient levels and get expert dosing recommendations<\/span><\/a><span class=\"fontstyle0\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em><strong><span class=\"fontstyle2\">Keywords: wastewater problems, nutrient deficiency, contaminated soil, soil bioremediation, biostimulation, bioaugmentation, poor flocculation, how much nitrogen do I need for soil bioremediation, Bionetix, industrial wastewater problems<\/span> <\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>N<\/strong><strong>eed a High-Resolution Photo?\u00a0 Please Visit: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cortecadvertising.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>www.cortecadvertising.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For a <strong>PDF<\/strong> version please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cortecvci.com\/whats_new\/announcements\/Nutrient-Deficiency-PR.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;border-color:var(--awb-color4);border-top-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:2080px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:30px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:40;line-height:var(--awb-typography2-line-height);\">Request More Information from Cortec<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p><!--\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/info.cortecvci.com\/l\/562712\/2022-10-07\/lnqbpg\" width=\"100%\" height=\"1000\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>  --><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","solution-category":[],"class_list":["post-97401","press-release","type-press-release","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bionetix-international.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press-release\/97401","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bionetix-international.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press-release"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bionetix-international.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/press-release"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bionetix-international.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"solution-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bionetix-international.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/solution-category?post=97401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
