Introduction
Nitrogénművek Zrt. and Bige Holding Kft. are
both significant participants of the Hungarian
fertilizer market. The companies are members
of the Bige Holding group.
The first Hungarian ammonia and nitrogen
fertilizer plant has been established in 1931 in
Pétfürdő. Since that time Nitrogénművek Zrt.
is the key fertilizer manufacturer in the Hungarian market, over the decades some of our
products like Pétisó (CAN-27) became even
standard terms for the Hungarian farmers.
The year 2007 was a significant one in the history of Nitrogénművek Zrt. The objective of the
acid plant investments was to establish a facility that fully complies with the environmental
requirements and technical qualities raised by
the most recent requirements.
Beyond satisfying the demands of customers,
the building up of the granulation plant also
meant introducing an advanced level, highly
secure and effective production process
technology.
The activities of Bige Holding Kft, formerly
known as Tiszamenti Vegyiművek, have been
extended with the production and packaging
of compound NPK fertilizers in 2004, the trade
of which is conducted by Nitrogénművek Zrt.
The Szolnok facility is suitable for the production of any compound fertilizers for agronomic
purposes and is operated by a state-of-the-art
technology. Beyond environmentally friendly
technologies, the facility can also be characterized by economic specific energy utilization.
Our aim is to satisfy our customers’ demands
at a high level of quality and with flexible
services. In order to achieve this our operations are managed based on the MSZ EN ISO
9001/2000 quality management standards.
Operations of Nitrogénművek Zrt. also complies
with the MSZ EN ISO 14001/2004 standards.
We regard environmental protection as a basis
of our production activities and our organizational culture. In 2008 Nitrogénművek Zrt. has
been awarded Business Superbrands 2008
status and stamp.
As members of the Bige Holding group, we
provide the agricultural market with a comprehensive assortment of fertilizers as well
as a country-wide brand sales and consulting
network. Besides nitrogen and complex NPK
fertilizers, our wide range of products include
solid and liquid basic fertilizers and top dressings as well as additional irrigation and leaf
fertilizers.

Environmentally friendly fertilization
The role of fertilizers is to act as supplement for the naturally occurring nutrients, up
to a level that ensures economic crop yields.
Therefore, fertilization inputs only naturally occurring chemicals into the soil. Genezis fertilizers contain only those important nutrients that
are also provided by organic fertilizers. Consequently, properly applied fertilizers ensure
optimum nutrition, resulting in a more healthy
vegetation and a sustainable soil fertility.
The increased productivity from farmland
serves for the conservation of the natural environment. With its oxygen production, richer
vegetation decreases the greenhouse effect.
The organic matter content of the soil also increases by the incorporation of higher amounts
of stubble and stem residues. The active root
system of the healthy vegetation reduces soil
erosion, utilizes the natural and synthetic soil
nutrients more effectively, thus reduces the
loss of nutrients into surface waters.
Unwished side effects of fertilizers emerge
when inadequate quantities and methods
are in practice at the application (e.g. uneven
spreading results in unbalanced nutrition). The
favorable effect of applying both organic and
synthetic fertilizers is well known. It is beneficial if organic fertilizers represent – at the most
– only half of the ingredients, because liquid
fertilizers may clog the soil pores, destroy its
structure, the soil becomes airless and boggy,
and the arid soil will finally be cracked.
A well-established fertilization not only protects the environment, but it is also economical, because only the – for the optimum crop
yield – required amounts are applied.

OUR NITROGEN FERTILIZERS
Pétisó CAN 27% + 7% CaO* + 5% MgO**
* 2% water soluble, ** 1,5% water soluble
- On Hungarian lands since 1931
• Available in granulated and prilled forms
• Nitrogen content includes same amounts of
slow-acting ammonium-nitrogen and quick-acting
nitrate-nitrogen, therefore it is recommended as
a basic fertilizer or top dressing for all types of
soil and cropping.
• Especially effective on acidic soils due to its dolomite content
• Repairs soil structure due to its potassium and
magnesium content
• Especially recommended for fertilization of plants
with high magnesium demand, such as potato,
sugar beet, perennial legumes, maize, rape, oat,
horticultural and drug plants.
granulated
prilled
Granulated Sulphurous Pétisó CAN 27% + 4% S* (total) + 5% Ca** (total)
* value guaranteed, ** value not guaranteed
• Recommended primarily for soils with sulphur
deficiency and for enriching the biological value
of sulphur-demanding plants
Ammonium-nitrate 34% - The market leading fertilizer
• Suitable for both basic fertilization and top dressing
• Recommended for soils rich in calcium
• Recommended for all plants, due to its equal
content of ammonium and nitrate-nitrogen
• A regular dosage of nitrogen fertilization that
matches the growth rate of the plants not only
allows for increasing the amount and quality of
the yield, but also enables better nitrogen utilization
• Fertilizers with high ammonium nitrate content
are to be handled as dangerous materials. More
details on their safe application at our website
(www.nitrogen.hu)
