The fertilizer industry continues to innovate by developing enhanced efficiency fertilizer (EEF) products that improve fertilizer performance, increase crop yields, and reduce fertilizer losses to the environment. EEFs, such as nitrification and urease inhibitors, polymer-coated / controlled-release products, are available today and are an important part of a 4R plan (Right Source @ Right Rate, Right Time, Right Place).
Fertilizer Canada’s Kayla Fitzpatrick, director of communications, advises: Reach out to your local certified crop advisor and/or agronomist to see how EEFs can be incorporated in your 4R plan.
