In the US, the number of no-till acres has tripled over the past decade, driving up total conservation tillage acreage and use of fluid fertilizers. Growing crops is only one of the concerns facing today s farmers. More than ever, farmers and the fertilizer industry are working together to find the best ways to protect the land for future generations. Conservation tillage benefits the environment by reducing soil erosion while increasing water retention.
Soil scientists recommend injecting fertilizer to minimize nutrient loss and soil disturbance.
Liquids especially lend themselves to this practice. This increased awareness of environmentally sound land management and fertilization practices is expected to bring continued growth to the fluid fertilizer market. The trend is expected to continue. This goal is supported by the fertilizer industry. This will increase demand for fluid fertilizers and help protect the land and our environment for the future.
