Enhance Your Crop Yield with NutriSphere-NL, The Premier Solution for Nitrogen Efficiency

Verdesian Europe & Africa – In the dynamic realm of agriculture, optimising nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is essential for maximising crop yields and promoting sustainable farming. NutriSphere-NL has been demonstrated to significantly increase nitrogen availability and reduce nitrate losses, thereby boosting crop productivity. This blog will delve into the advantages and effectiveness of NutriSphere-NL, based on thorough studies conducted in the UK and the USA.

Understanding NutriSphere-NL

NutriSphere-NL is engineered to enhance the performance of urea-based liquid nitrogen fertilisers (UAN) by mitigating nitrogen losses through volatilisation and leaching. This improvement ensures more nitrogen is available to crops, facilitating better growth and higher yields.

Key Benefits of NutriSphere-NL

1. Enhanced Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) NutriSphere-NL considerably elevates NUE, ensuring that a greater portion of applied nitrogen is absorbed by plants instead of being lost to the environment. This leads to improved crop growth and higher yields.
2. Reduction in Nitrate Losses Research conducted at the John Innes Centre and Niab in the UK has demonstrated that NutriSphere-NL reduces nitrate losses to field drains by an average of 14%. A similar study in Iowa, USA, showed a 21% reduction in nitrate losses.
3. Improved Soil Mineral Nitrogen (SMN) Over a six-month period, soil treated with NutriSphere-NL exhibited 22% higher SMN compared to untreated soil, meaning more nitrogen is available in the soil for crop uptake.

Field Trials and Testing

1. Water Drainage and Nitrate Concentration: Salle Farms, Norfolk, UK

Objective: Assess the impact of NutriSphere-NL on nitrate concentrations in soil pore water.

Results:

• Tile Drain Nitrate Reduction: Average reduction of 14%.
• Maximum Reduction Observed: On May 1, 2020, nitrate concentration was 24% lower in NutriSphere-NL treated fields compared to untreated fields.

2. Agronomic Performance: Morley Farm, Norfolk, UK

Objective: Evaluate the agronomic performance of NutriSphere-NL in terms of soil mineral nitrogen (SMN), grain yield, and grain quality.

Results:

• Soil Mineral Nitrogen (SMN): Increased by 22% in NutriSphere-NL treated fields.
• Grain Yield: Average increase of 2.6%.
• Grain Weight: Increased from 74.4 to 75.5 kg/hl with NutriSphere-NL.
• Nitrogen Content in Grains: Improved from 1.81g/100g to 1.83g/100g with NutriSphere-NL.

3. Efficiency Metrics Evaluation: Various Locations, USA and UK

Objective: Measure the efficiency of nitrogen utilisation with NutriSphere-NL.

Results:

• Agronomic Efficiency (AE): Increased by 5.4%.
• Apparent Recovery Efficiency (ARE): Improved by 11.8%.
• Nutrient Utilisation Efficiency (NUE): Demonstrated a combined efficiency increase of 11.8%.

Reducing Soil Nitrates and Suppressing Urease Activity

Studies have shown that UAN combined with NutriSphere-NL significantly reduces nitrates in soil pore water, ranging from 33% to 100%. Independent microbial diversity studies have revealed that NutriSphere-NL application completely suppresses urease activity.
