£5.00

A concentrated organic nitrogen and L-amino acid booster developed to support vigorous, compact plant growth throughout the vegetative stage.

Aptus N-Boost is a highly concentrated growth stimulator formulated for the period when plants have their greatest demand for nitrogen. It supplies organic nitrogen alongside L-amino acids, supporting vigorous vegetative development without simply relying on higher concentrations of conventional mineral feed.

The combination is designed to support strong, compact growth while encouraging biological activity around the root zone. Aptus also highlights improved sugar content and lower nitrate levels in the finished crop among the benefits of its organic nitrogen approach.

N-Boost is fully water-soluble and leaves no residue in irrigation systems. That makes it particularly useful for drip-fed and automated irrigation systems where growers want the benefits of an organic growth stimulator without introducing a product that is prone to leaving organic deposits in the lines.

Use N-Boost throughout vegetative growth at 3 – 5ml per 10 litres of water. At these rates, a 500ml bottle prepares approximately 1,000 – 1,667 litres of nutrient solution.

Why choose Aptus N-Boost?

  • Concentrated organic nitrogen – supplies readily available nitrogen to support demanding vegetative growth.
  • Contains L-amino acids – supports plant growth, biostimulation and beneficial bacterial populations.
  • Encourages vigorous vegetative development – designed specifically for the stage when crop nitrogen demand is high.
  • Supports compact, solid growth – promotes productive plant development rather than weak or excessive growth.
  • Supports sugar production – Aptus identifies improved sugar content as one of the benefits of N-Boost.
  • Supports biological activity – L-amino acids help encourage beneficial bacterial populations in the growing environment.
  • Fully water-soluble – disperses readily into the nutrient solution.
  • No irrigation residue – designed to leave no residue in irrigation and drip systems.
  • Drip-system friendly – Aptus specifically recommends N-Boost as an alternative to Startbooster where preventing irrigation-line blockage is important.
  • Highly concentrated – standard application is just 3 – 5ml per 10L of water.

What is Aptus N-Boost suitable for?

N-Boost is primarily designed for plants in active vegetative growth, when nitrogen demand is high and the crop is developing new leaves, stems and structural tissue.

It can be incorporated into a wider feeding programme when additional organic nitrogen and amino-acid support is required. Rather than treating every crop as having the same fixed number of growth weeks, application should follow the actual vegetative development of the crop.

N-Boost is especially useful in drip irrigation and automated watering systems. Aptus specifically recommends replacing Startbooster with N-Boost in drip systems where growers want to minimise the possibility of organic residues contributing to blocked irrigation lines.

Because N-Boost supplies additional nitrogen, it should be considered as part of the complete nutrition programme rather than added indiscriminately on top of an already nitrogen-rich feed. Aptus specifically advises against combining N-Boost and Startbooster where doing so would make the nitrogen level in the feeding programme too high.

How to use Aptus N-Boost

Use 3 – 5ml of Aptus N-Boost per 10 litres of water throughout active vegetative growth. This is equivalent to 0.3 – 0.5ml per litre.

At the lower 3ml/10L rate, use 15ml for 50L, 30ml for 100L, 150ml for 500L or 300ml for 1,000L.

At the higher 5ml/10L rate, use 25ml for 50L, 50ml for 100L, 250ml for 500L or 500ml for 1,000L.

A 500ml bottle therefore treats approximately 1,000 litres at 5ml per 10L or approximately 1,667 litres at 3ml per 10L.

Shake the bottle thoroughly before measuring. N-Boost is fully water-soluble and can be incorporated into irrigation programmes without leaving residue in the irrigation system.

In drip irrigation systems, N-Boost can be used in place of Startbooster where a fully water-soluble growth stimulant is preferred. Avoid combining N-Boost and Startbooster where the resulting nitrogen level would be excessive for the feeding programme.

Aptus N-Boost FAQs

What is Aptus N-Boost?

Aptus N-Boost is a concentrated organic nitrogen and L-amino acid growth booster designed to support plants during active vegetative development.

What does Aptus N-Boost contain?

N-Boost contains organic nitrogen and L-amino acids. The combination provides nitrogen for vegetative development while the amino acids contribute to plant biostimulation and beneficial biological activity.

When should I use Aptus N-Boost?

Use N-Boost during active vegetative growth, when plants have a high demand for nitrogen and are developing leaves, stems and other vegetative tissue.

How much Aptus N-Boost should I use?

Aptus recommends 3 – 5ml per 10 litres of water during the vegetative growth phase. This is equivalent to 0.3 – 0.5ml per litre.

How much Aptus N-Boost do I need for 100 litres?

Use 30 – 50ml of N-Boost for 100 litres of water, depending on the required application rate.

How much Aptus N-Boost do I need for a 500L reservoir?

Use 150 – 250ml of N-Boost for a 500L reservoir.

How much water will 500ml of Aptus N-Boost treat?

A 500ml bottle treats approximately 1,000 litres at the higher 5ml per 10L rate, or approximately 1,667 litres at the lower 3ml per 10L rate.

Is Aptus N-Boost suitable for drip irrigation?

Yes. N-Boost is fully water-soluble and is designed to leave no residue in irrigation systems, making it particularly useful for drip-fed crops.

Does Aptus N-Boost clog irrigation lines?

N-Boost is specifically formulated to be fully water-soluble and leave no residue in irrigation lines. Aptus recommends it as an alternative to Startbooster in drip systems where preventing line blockage is a priority.

Can I use Aptus N-Boost with Startbooster?

Aptus advises against combining N-Boost with Startbooster where doing so would result in excessive nitrogen within the nutrition programme. In drip systems, N-Boost can be used instead of Startbooster.

Does Aptus N-Boost contain amino acids?

Yes. N-Boost contains L-amino acids, which support growth and biostimulation while helping encourage beneficial bacterial populations in the growing environment.

Is Aptus N-Boost water-soluble?

Yes. N-Boost is fully water-soluble and is designed not to leave residues within irrigation systems.

Do I need to shake Aptus N-Boost before use?

Yes. Shake N-Boost thoroughly before measuring and adding it to the feeding solution.

Can Aptus N-Boost be used throughout flowering?

N-Boost is primarily a vegetative growth product. Its purpose is to provide additional organic nitrogen during the stage when nitrogen demand is high, rather than acting as a general flowering booster.

What is the difference between Aptus N-Boost and Startbooster?

N-Boost focuses on organic nitrogen, L-amino acids and vegetative growth while remaining fully water-soluble. Startbooster is a broader biological root and growth stimulator containing ingredients such as humic and fulvic acids and biological components. For drip systems, Aptus specifically recommends N-Boost as the alternative where avoiding organic residue and potential line blockage is important.
