Download PDF Sulphur can be the limiting factor in many soils when it comes to plant growth and nutrient uptake. Autumn-applied Polysulphate could help crop plants become more efficient. CPM finds out more. Growth is dictated not by total resources available, but by the scarcest resource. By Lucy de la Pasture When the NFU set out the three pillars which will support agriculture’s move towards becoming net zero goal by 2040, it signalled an acceleration in change. At the core of the strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GhG) is to improve farming’s productive efficiency – enabling farming to produce the same quantity of food, or more, with less inputs in smarter ways. Fertilisers are one of the major contributors to GhG emissions and some of these ‘smarter’ ways include the use of controlled or prolonged release technologies, precision nutrition and a heightened focus on soil problems which may interfere with nutrient uptake, such as compaction. At the heart of a smart approach is understanding nutrient use efficiency. How different forms of fertiliser affect how efficiently plants can make use of them is an important part of increasing productive efficiency. ICL’s Scott Garnett explains why a focus on balanced nutrition…
