Key Conclusions

  • Higher yields – up by 9%
    Steered by soil temperature, nitrogen is released according to plant needs and improves yield – plus 8 mt/ha
  • Higher NUE – up by 41%
    Compared to conventional fertilizers, Agromaster increases nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). In this trial NUE increase is 41% – i.e. extra 72 kg of onion per kg of N applied
  • Positive ROI – extra 1,965 €/ha
    Yield increase brings additional profit to growers and makes Agromaster a reliable solution to fertilize open field soil grown crops

Objective

To evaluate the impact of NPK-based CRFs, like Agromaster, on yield and quality parameters of onion, compared to frequently used NPK-based conventional fertilizers (grower’s practice).
