Broccoli Trial with Agrocote Max

Key Conclusions

• Higher yields – up by 8%
  Steered by soil temperature, nitrogen is released according to plant needs and improves marketable yield – extra 1 mt/ha
• Fewer applications – lower costs
  A single base fertilization with Agrocote Max eliminates the need for multiple fertilizer applications thus saving costs of labor and fuel
• Higher NUE – up by 30%
  Compared to conventional N-fertilizers, Agrocote Max reduces losses caused by leaching, volatilization and denitrification. Therefore, it increases nitrogen use efficiency. In this experiment NUE increased by 30%, producing an extra 4 kg of broccoli for each kg of N applied
• Positive ROI – extra £2,104/ha
  Yield increase brings extra profit to growers and makes Controlled Release Fertilizers (CRF) a reliable solution to fertilize open field soil grown crops
