More than 230 delegates from 45 countries participated in CRU’s Sustainable Fertilizer Production Technology Forum, 20-23 September 2021. To highlight this successful virtual event, we report on keynote and selected technical presentations.
Polysulphate is a new multi-nutrient fertilizer mined in the UK. Its unique characteristics and mix of nutrients make it especially suitable for potato crops, explains Patricia Imas, chief agronomist at ICL Innovative Ag Solutions (IAS).
New innovations and the latest equipment options from FEECO International, Casale, thyssenkrupp Fertilizer Technology and Eirich are helping to perfect the fertilizer finishing process.
ACI will convene the 5th European Mineral Fertilizer Summit in London on 1-2 December 2021. Fertilizer International is proud to be a partner for this year’s event.
Dr Heike Thie l and Dr Wilm Fecke of K+S Minerals and Agriculture GmbH outline how better nutrient management can reduce potato yield losses during lengthy dry spells – and make better use of the available water.
Fertilizer International presents a global round-up of current potash projects.
PhosAgro’s Evgeniya Mescherova and Boris Levin explain how new EU and Russian regulations, designed to safeguard the environment and human health, are improving global support for both soil health and food security.
Yield, quality and profitability are the primary focus for the modern potato grower. But these objectives need to be balanced against the need to reduce the environmental impacts that result from cultivating the world’s fourth-biggest food crop. Fertilizer International talks to David Marks of Levity Crop Science about how its unique approach to product development is helping farmers adopt more sustainable agricultural practices.
Are we on the verge of a fertilizer production, trade and supply crisis? Some usually sober and authoritative voices seem to think so.
