Plant Nutrition

Nutrition has become the centre of attention for all primary production segments. As more emphasis is placed on higher yields from a decreasing crop area across the globe, plant nutrition has become a key driver in meeting food production targets.

Environmental awareness, crop utilisation and limitations in economic return need to be balanced in all nutrition applications to ensure that we can continue to farm into the future.
