The Maximum Farming System® can help make the most of such changes and provide optimal fertilizer management, which varies by crop. For example, corn benefits dramatically from in-furrow fertilization that provides sufficient levels of tissue phosphorus during early growth stages to maximize kernel number. And, beyond providing balanced early nutrition and ...
Let's talk about the advantages of granular organic fertilizer in detail. 1. The shape of the finished granular organic fertilizer is uniform, and the fertilization efficiency is higher. A reasonable amount of fertilizer can improve production efficiency, so by using organic ...
We are proud to announce that the two TIMAC AGRO USA technologies submitted to the Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizers (EEFs): Environmental and Agronomic Challenge were among the 16 solutions selected to move forward to Phase Two of the competition. In the next stage, Duo Maxx and Top-Phos® will go through greenhouse trials conducted by the International ...
We are focused on launching products with superior efficacy, higher consistency, and breakthrough technologies in 3 key areas: Biopesticides: a pipeline of several biofungicides and nematicides with superior efficacy Biostimulants: growth promoting products that further increase yields in standard, high-yielding as well as stressed, agronomic conditions Nitrogen-fixation and ...
Following an inaugural organizational meeting among seven scientists held in Versailles, France on November 17, the International Fertilizer Association (IFA) is pleased to announce the inception of a Scientific Panel on Responsible Plant Nutrition to meet the growing need for scientific research and expertise to further improve nutrient stewardship, in line with the outcomes of ...
BioConsortia has a R&D platform for the discovery of beneficial microbes and a development model to produce agricultural products with superior efficacy and higher consistency in three areas of research: Biopesticides: a pipeline of several biofungicides and nematicides with superior efficacy Biostimulants: growth promoting products that further increase yields in standard, high-yielding ...
Marco Ferroni, the Chair of the System Management Board of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research, the respected and renowned public global agricultural research network, payed tribute to the tremendous contribution of fertilizers to food security and welcomed an enhanced partnership with the global fertilizer industry to further close ...
Al-Abdrabbuh, Executive Vice President of Agri-Nutrients at SABIC, IFA2019’s Innovation Partner, who congratulated all the participants for proving an intriguing view of the multiple ways in which startups are working to increase access to fertilizers as well as enabling more efficient fertilizer use. “We are thrilled and honoured to ...
Chinese researcher Professor Weifeng Zhang has been awarded the IFA Norman Borlaug Award ahead of Global Fertilizer Day (October 13) for his pioneering work to improve both farm efficiencies and agricultural productivity in China. ...
International researchers have shown that potatoes are good for the environment, with a recently published paper indicating that potato production is more environmentally sustainable than pasta and rice. The paper, conducted by researchers from Cranfield University in Bedfordshire, England and published in the Journal of Cleaner Production, considered both greenhouse gas emissions and water ...

Soil analysis seems to be becoming a more widespread practice amongst many UK farms these days, as farmers understand more and more the impact that correctly balanced soil can have on crop yields, not to mention how efficiently liquid fertiliser is applied too. With the growing season just around the corner, fertiliser is once again a hot topic in farming. ...
The importance of soil sampling was reinforced by Farming Life this week. It stated that good productive soils are the foundation of any successful farm system and that the ability of soils to supply nutrients at a time and in an appropriate quantity for grass and crop can be key to determining productivity. Therefore, a farms ability to manage soil fertility levels should be a primary objective. ...
Poultry & Egg Association is hosting the “Seminario Técnico para Maximizar la Eficiencia de la Industria Avícola” (Technical Seminar for Maximizing the Efficiency of the Poultry Industry), which will be presented entirely in Spanish. The program will discuss methods for improving economic efficiency in the areas of breeding, ...
Various nitrogen sources were tested in this study in order to fertilize pine leaves and oak leaves instead of using the traditional fertilization which is based on the nitrogen absorption through the root. After assessing the efficiency of leaf nitrogen uptake of the two studied species, the researcher team from Universidad de Alcalá and ...
The major issues surrounding phosphorus concern the increasing scarcity of the resource, its environmental impact (surface water eutrophication), the emerging economic and geopolitical constraints and the possibilities for better recycling and more efficient use, particularly in the agriculture and food sectors. Five major themes P in our world - the global phosphorus cycle, ...
Fertiliser spreading and spraying continues throughout May and many farmers report to Farmers Weekly that they are moving towards a more precision-farming approach, having started with variable-rate applications of phosphate and potash and implementing tractor-mounted sensors when applying nitrogen. Enduramaxx has a range of sprayers to enable farmers to apply liquid fertilisers efficiently and ...
The 4R Research Fund today announced it has awarded $273,500 in grants for five research proposals aimed at identifying the current state of knowledge and existing research gaps regarding fertilizer best management practices. The Fund, supported by the fertilizer industry and other stakeholders, is a science-based research initiative aimed at improving ...
Between 1950 and 1988, fertilizer use climbed from 14 million to 144 million tons. This period of remarkable worldwide growth came to an end when fertilizer use in the former Soviet Union fell precipitously after heavy subsidies were removed in 1988 and fertilizer prices there moved to world market levels. ...
According to the information supplied by the manufacturer, the electro-hybrid system implemented in this machine makes it possible to reduce the driving power of the diesel engine from ≥100 kW to 56 kW and, depending on the work cycle, to increase the diesel efficiency by up to 30%. The use of such systems increases both drive efficiency and the process ...
