Experts are watching global dynamics to understand the input market’s longer-term outlook in the U.S. Among their top concerns are geopolitics, weather and low supply.
ICIS senior fertilizer editor Mark Milam shares that while the fertilizer market appears to be in good shape at the moment, there are a couple of important trends moving forward this spring.
Once you balance fertility and pH in the soil profile, and adjust to making small, more frequent lime applications, you probably won’t need to mix fertilizer into the soil, says Ken Ferrie, Farm Journal field agronomist.
Nitricity is on a quest to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions via its innovative natural liquid fertilizer manufacturing process. The technology represents a major disruption to the global fertilizer market.
If you value the benefits starter fertilizer offers, you might like the performance of a starter fertilizer relay system even more. Farm Journal Test Plot data show a relay system + 2x2 placement = $36 per acre ROI.
Earlier this week, as part of an annual administrative review of countervailing duty orders, the Department of Commerce (DOC) adjusted duties on imported phosphate fertilizers.
On a planet with more people than ever before, the discovery of phosphate means that fertilizer will remain a viable food production tool for most of the rest of the century.
Morocco is sitting on 75-85% of proven global phosphate reserves, but projections of phosphate depletion span from 50 to 300 years. John Phipps explains why the concerns about peak phosphate production may be overblown.
Low Mississippi River water levels are a concern for moving inputs like fertilizer. The worry comes as Florida, a key fertilizer-producing state, cleans up after Hurricane Ian. What will the fertilizer price impact be?
“The closing of this acquisition marks Koch’s first substantial investment on the African continent,” said Brad Razook, Executive VP of Koch Industries and CEO, Resources.
Crystal Green, by Ostara, has an analysis of 5-28-0 with 10% magnesium to provide crops access to nutrients that remain plant available all season long.
For 25 years, the Hypoxia Task Force has been working through its cornerstone of state nutrient reduction strategies to reduce the footprint of the low-oxygen, hypoxic zone in the Gulf of Mexico.
As CEO Amy Yoder explains, after striking a partnership with Novozymes, Anuvia’s SymTrx product will now be coated with Novozymes’ phosphate solubilizing microbial solution.
There doesn't appear to be much price relief on the horizon. Product availability could be limited as well, based on what China and Europe are experiencing.
For almost 10 years, Nutrien has provided the eKonomics tools to help retailers and growers have conversations around optimizing their agronomic decisions, and it's now expanded to be available on a mobile app.
Josh Linville with StoneX: U.S. phosphate exports “should” be lower going forward–is it guaranteed to drop? No. However, with the U.S. a premium market going forward, it will make more sense to keep tons “home”
When launching this program, EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler said these challenges intend to spark innovations that will keep fertilizers (focusing on nitrogen and phosphorus) where they are needed.
According to West Central Distribution, only one in six farmers uses a phosphorus efficiency product, but 83% of farmers are concerned about phosphorus unavailability in their soils.
Just weeks before the announcement of the rebranding of Crop Production Services, AgPro conducted this Q&A with Mike Frank, Executive Vice President, Nutrien & President, Nutrien Retail.
The North American fertilizer industry pledged $6 million to fund research to strengthen fertilizer best management practices and reduce nutrient loss to the environment.
