Limin Technology Makes Lono More Efficient
- This is where Lono, the world’s most advanced nitrogen fertilizer can help. Lono is powered by unique LimiN chemistry developed by Levity to hold the form as amine – ensuring most of the N ends up in the crop, giving good growth with small inputs.
Growth In The Right Place
- With conventional nitrogen, growers have to be careful; too much and the crop gets leggy and quality drops. With Lono the growth is in the right place. Growers see shorter, bushier plants with a higher fruit load and less quality problems.
- Levity’s research shows that Lono significantly improves growth habit giving higher yields in fruit, vegetable and potato crops.
More Efficient Metabolism
- We feed crops nitrogen to get growth, but plants must use energy to process and assimilate it. The more efficiently that plants can turn nitrogen into growth (using less carbon from the air), the better, particularly when the crop is stressed as access to CO2 is reduced under stress conditions.
- Lono is more easily metabolized than conventional nitrogen fertilizers, providing nitrogen in a form that is 12 times more energy efficient than the nitrate most conventional fertilizers are taken up as. Levity’s research shows that when plants are supplied with Lono, photosynthesis is increased to higher levels than with standard nitrogen fertilizers, allowing better growth.
- Lono acts on three levels. It gets more N into the crop, generates growth in the part of the crop we harvest, and is easy for the plant to process, even when stressed. Growers get higher yields and healthier crops that perform better when growing conditions are bad.
- Lono is the result of a huge amount of research into the science of nitrogen assimilation, which is why it is trusted by farmers around the world to improve yield and quality.

Lono Increases Yield
- Lono provides stabilized amine nitrogen to plants, this gives good growth at low inputs.
- Below is research Levity conducted in 2017 on Lono’s effect on Lettuce. In the image the lettuce on the left has been treated with industry standard nitrogen fertilizer, and the lettuce on the right with Lono.
- Levity’s research shows that Lono gives significantly better yield in crops in comparison to a range of other nitrogen sources, when all plants are supplied with the same amount of nitrogen by weight.
- More research, this time carried out by an independent farm in The Netherlands (2014), investigated the effect of Lono on potato yields.
Lono gave 6.8 Metric tons more 50mm+ potatoes than conventional nitrogen, a significant increase in marketable yield.
Lono Improves Growth Partitioning
Lono helps crops to focus their growth energy on reproductive areas such as, roots, fruits, vegetables, flowers and tubers, rather than on top shoot growth. This results in a healthier plant with a higher root-shoot ratio which is much more able to produce good harvests.
Lono Improves Stress Resistance
- Lono allows growth to continue under stressful conditions that constrain growth in conventionally fertilized plants.
- Levity’s (2017) research shows that Lono allows pak choi growing in salty water to thrive. This graph shows that salted plants treated with Lono have the same number of leaves as plants growing in the absence of salt, whereas pak choi treated with conventional fertilizer develop leaves more slowly under salt stress.
- More research conducted on tomatoes (2017) again showed that lono helped crops grow well during stressful conditions.
- In the picture below, the tomatoes on the left were treated with industry standard nitrogen, and the tomatoes on the right were treated with Lono.
Control Lono Tomato Fruit Number per Plant 6 8.4 Tomato Fruit Weight per Plant (g) 14.8g 20.5g Lono gave sighnificantly higher tomatoes per plant, and weight of tomatoes per plant.
Lono Improves Rooting
- Lono’s stabilized amine nitrogen increases root development in comparison to conventional fertilizers. Levity’s research shows that Lono induces roots plants to penetrate to deeper and wider soil horizons than roots of conventionally fertilized plants.
- This research in Myerscough (2019) show the effect of Lono on lollo rosso’s roots 14 days after treatment. The 4 on the left have been trated with industry standard nitrogen fertilizer, and the 4 on the right have been treated with Lono.
Lono Improves Photosynthesis
Lono helps crops generate more chlorophyll per unit of nitrogen than conventional fertilizers. Levity’s research demonstrates that mature leaves of 5-week-old tomato plants contain more chlorophyll than those of conventionally fertilized control plants.
