Copy link Agromaster® Improves Cauliflower Yield in Germany
Yield Increase
Fußgönheim 2022
Yield Increase
Key Conclusions
Higher yields – up by 13%
Steered by soil temperature, nitrogen is released according to plant
needs and improves marketable yield by extra 4 mt/ha
Fewer applications – lower costs
A single base fertilization with Agromaster® eliminates the need for
multiple fertiliser applications thus saving costs of labour and fuel,
by around 35 €/ha per application
20% lower rates and higher NUE – up by 31%
Agromaster® is much more efficient than N-inhibitors and conventional
N-fertilizers due to its controlled release technology. Lowering N
rates by 20% and achieving higher yields lead to 31% increase in
NUE. This equals to extra 42 kg of cauliflower per kg of N applied
Positive ROI – extra 4778 €/ha
Yield increase brings extra profit to growers and makes Controlled
Release Fertilizers (CRF) a reliable solution to fertilize open field soil
grown crops
Objective
To evaluate the benefits of a single application of Agromaster® on
Nitrogen Use Efficiency and the yield of cauliflower.
This is compared to split applications of double inhibited urea and conventional
N-fertilizers which are frequently used as standard farm practice.

| Zero N | - | - | - |
| Grower Practice 100% N rate | Double inhibited Urea , 46-0-0,CAN, 27-0-0 | 155 77 | Before planting 30 days after |
| Agromaster® 100% N rate | Agromaster®, 36-0-0, 2-3M, 80% coated N by eqo.x | 232 | Before planting |
| Agromaster® 80% N rate | Agromaster®, 36-0-0, 2-3M,80% coated N by eqo.x | 186 | Before planting |
* For this trial purposes, Agromaster® was created by combining fully coated urea by
eqo.x release technology with uncoated nitrogen.
Eqo.x is ICL’s fully biodegradable technology for Controlled Release Fertilizers.
