Kyle Lilly, senior product manager at Compass Minerals Plant Nutrition, outlines how a season-long approach to soybean crop nutrition can be created using a variety of tools. When combined together, these can optimise soybean fertilization and deliver impressive yields – as has been shown in both Brazil and the US.
The polyhalite product POLY4 offers a balanced and sustained supply of essential plant nutrients throughout the crop cycle – making it a highly-attractive, natural, multinutrient option for soybean fertilization. Lino Furia, Valter Asami, and Reinaldo Bello of Anglo American Crop Nutrients outline its many crop benefits.
Across all the world’s major soybean-producing regions, more and more farmers are now choosing to include Polysulphate in their soybean fertilization strategies. Patricia Imas, ICL’s chief agronomist, explains how this new product benefits both crop yield and quality.
The two agricultural products most strongly associated with the economies of Southeast Asia are the food staple rice and export commodity palm oil. We explore the link between the region’s agricultural productivity and its fertilizer consumption.
Falling costs for production of hydrogen by electrolysis are encouraging more serious consideration of using recovered carbon dioxide as a feedstock for chemicals and even fuels production.
Sulphur is becoming an increasingly important crop nutrient – due to a combination of lower sulphur emissions, the increasing prevalence of high-analysis fertilizers and higher cropping intensity.
With more than 15 million hectares of land watered by drip irrigation globally, the technology’s agricultural potential remains enormous. Fertigation – the ability to manage and regulate both water and plant nutrients – is a key advantage helping drive worldwide growth.
The refining industry, the source of half of the world’s elemental sulphur, continues to face major structural changes from changing feedstock and product slates and increasing regulatory burdens.
