Exhibition opportunity for naturetech innovators!
As agriculture navigates a new landscape of environmental ambition, our next conference spotlights ‘NatureTech’ innovation for enabling the delivery, measurement, and monetisation of ecosystem services across UK farmland. We’re looking for innovators to exhibit their technology at the one-day event “The Productive Landscape: NatureTech for Profit and Planet” on 28th April 2026.

Nutrisphere: Advancing Sustainable Agriculture by Optimising Nitrogen Efficiency

Driving Sustainability in Modern Farming

The agricultural industry faces a crucial challenge: maximising yields while minimising environmental impact. Nitrogen fertilisers play a key role in crop productivity, but inefficient nitrogen use can lead to volatilisation, leaching, and denitrification, resulting in lost nutrients, soil degradation, and environmental pollution.

The latest Nutrisphere Environmental presentation explores how Nutrisphere transforms nitrogen management by reducing emissions, improving soil health, and enhancing fertiliser efficiency. This article summarises the key findings and real-world trial results demonstrating Nutrisphere’s role in sustainable farming.

The Role of Nutrisphere in Environmental Protection

Nutrisphere has been developed to optimise nitrogen efficiency while maintaining soil health and reducing environmental risks. Preventing nitrogen losses ensures more fertiliser is retained in the soil, benefiting crops and the environment.

Key benefits of Nutrisphere’s mode of action (MOA) include:

  • Reduces nitrogen loss through volatilisation, leaching, and denitrification
  • Minimises nitrate leaching by over 20%, protecting water quality
  • Retains up to 4x more ammonium in the soil, improving nutrient availability
  • Decreases ammonia volatilisation by up to 85%
  • Reduces nitrous oxide (NO) emissions by over 50%

These findings confirm Nutrisphere’s effectiveness in improving nitrogen retention while safeguarding the environment.

Proven Impact on Soil Health and Clean Air

Nutrisphere’s ability to preserve soil biodiversity differentiates it from traditional nitrogen stabilisers. Extensive research confirms:

  • No negative effects on crucial soil microbes or earthworms
  • No impact on freshwater aquatic life, ensuring clean water systems
  • Cuts nitrogen-related air pollution, helps to reduce agriculture’s carbon footprint

Nutrisphere supports a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach to fertiliser application by addressing these critical factors.

Field Trials: Real-World Success in Enhancing Crop Yields

Over the past six years, Nutrisphere has undergone 58 field trials across Europe, including in France, Poland, Turkey, and Germany. These trials demonstrate its ability to boost crop productivity while maintaining soil integrity.

  • 5.4% average increase in crop yields
  • 87% of trials reported positive yield improvements
  • 12% higher nutrient utilisation efficiency (NUE)
  • 3.5% increase in grain nitrogen content
  • 1.5% average grain weight increase

Nutrisphere consistently performs across different soil types (pH 5.1 – 8.1) and is proven to work under varied agricultural conditions.

Sustainable Nitrogen Utilisation for Future Farming

As the agricultural sector seeks more sustainable fertiliser management, Nutrisphere presents a scientifically validated solution that ensures:

  • Less nitrogen waste More fertiliser retained in the soil
  • Cleaner water sources Reduced nitrate runoff into rivers and lakes
  • Higher farm profitability Improved crop performance and efficiency

By integrating Nutrisphere into modern farming systems, growers can increase productivity without compromising sustainability.
