Agromaster® Carrots Trial in Germany
9%
Yield increase
Agromaster® was tested in a trial with carrots at the precision agriculture trial station of Neuhofen in Germany
Neuhofen in Germany
9%
Yield increase
Key Conclusions
- Higher yields – up by 9%
Steered by soil temperature, nitrogen is released according to plant needs and improves marketable yield by 9% – extra 3.5 mt/ha - Improved nitrogen uptake – up by 5.3%
Coated nitrogen is made available to plants at the right time and rate thereby nitrogen uptake is improved - Higher NUE – up by 7%
Compared to N-Inhibitors, Agromaster® increased nitrogen use efficiency by 7% - Positive ROI – extra 1659 €/ha
Increase of marketable yield brings extra profit to growers and makes Agromaster® a reliable solution to fertilize open field soil grown crops
Objective
To evaluate the performance of Agromaster®, as controlled release nitrogen-based fertilizer, compared to double inhibited-based urea, in respect of yield and nitrogen use efficiency for carrot production.
