Over 70 percent of the nitrogen applied in early Spring can be lost to the air or water, says Samuel Leadbeater of Timac Agro UK. He is urging farmers to consider phased release nitrogen that will remain in the soil…
Farmers are benchmarking NfUE in order to determine the optimum fertiliser rate of application.“This approach resulted in £53/ha of savings, representing a 20% improvement compared to standard on-farm practice,” said Clive Blacker, Map of Ag
Pressure is growing to find new ways of producing nitrogen and reducing dependency on chemical synthesis of this important nutrient via the Haber process. Harnessing biological and physico-chemical approaches to the problem is yielding some exciting opportunities for production of alternatives to synthetic fertilisers. Join us and learn how to make fertiliser from air and water, fix nitrogen from the air into soil, and how to provide a nitrogen turbo-charge for fields.
CCm Technologies has developed a method of producing nitrogen fertiliser from bio-solids and the carbon dioxide captured from the waste gases. The fertiliser returns carbon to the soil and stimulates an increase in micro-organisms, promoting a healthy soil.
In his latest blog, Russell Sharp, Founder of Plater Bio writes: am often told that there is no significant market for hydroponic fertilizers in China.

Cover crops have a valuable role as a ‘soil corrective’ according to Gary Zimmer of Midwestern Bio-Ag. Zimmer is a pioneer of biological farming, which places
