Key Benefits of Using NutriSphere-NL: 1. Increased Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE): NutriSphere-NL significantly boosts NUE, ensuring that more of the applied nitrogen is utilised by the plants rather than being lost to the environment. This results in better crop growth and higher yields. 2. Reduction in Nitrate Losses: Studies conducted at the John Innes Centre and NIAB in the UK have shown that NutriSphere-NL reduces nitrate losses to field drains by an average of 14%. A similar study in Iowa, USA, demonstrated a 21% reduction in nitrate losses. 3. Enhanced Soil Mineral Nitrogen (SMN): Over a period of six months, the soil treated with NutriSphere-NL had 22% higher SMN compared to untreated soil. This means more nitrogen is available in the soil for crop uptake. NutriSphere-NL is designed to improve the performance of urea-based liquid nitrogen fertilisers (UAN) by reducing nitrogen losses through volatilisation and leaching. This enhancement allows for more nitrogen to be available to the crops, leading to better growth and higher yields. #nitrogenuseefficiency #soilmineralnitrogen #reducenitrogenlosses

Can our industry reverse the unintentional damage we’ve done to the environment and climate? Environmental Issues - Ammonia Pollutant | Clean Air - Agriculture Is Responsible For 89% In Ammonia Emissions - Intensive Agriculture Has Led To x100 More Ammonia Greenhouse Gas Issues - Nitrous Oxide | Clean Air - There is x300 More Nitrous Oxide In Our Drinking Water - Agriculture Is Responsible For 87% Of Our Nitrous Oxide Emissions Environmental Issues - Nitrate | Clean Water - Nitrate Levels Have Increased 83% Between 1980 - 2015 Environmental Issues - Phosphate | Clean Water - Phosphate Levels Have Increased To 0.006 MG/L?(0.002 MG/L is considered safe) Soil and Microbes - Total Microbial Biomass Has Seen A 13% Average Reduction - Total Bacterial Biomass Has Seen 17% More Ammonia Nitrogen applications lower soil pH which then reduces microbial diversity. #EnvironmentalIssues #GreenhouseGasIssues

What needs to happen for NUE to meet its growth forecast? The Agricultural Challenges we face: - Seaweed: Production at 30 million tons annually, with 37% of biostimulants relying on it. Limited supply may pose a problem. - Humic & Fulvic Acid: Used in 33% of biostimulants, sourced from coal, which is environmentally harmful but essential for nutrient supply and soil retention. - Amino Acids and Microbials: Make up 30% of biostimulants, but face supply chain issues despite their benefits to crop gene expression and metabolism. MarketsandMarkets? values the bio-stimulants market at USD 3.5 billion in 2022, projected to grow to USD 6.2 billion by 2027, with a CAGR of 11.8%. In order for growers to adapt: - US market growth is crucial as it's currently small, even though the US is the top maize producer globally. - US maize fields are on average four times larger than French farms, making additional treatment costs a concern for ROI. - Bio-stimulants must show clear ROI in terms of environment, climate, quality, and yield. To meet growth forecasts and tackle climate challenges, supermarkets must support and accelerate agricultural innovation, ensuring new food production methods maximise quality and protect nature. #biostimulants #futureofgrowing

How can we make a difference to the future of growing? Key statistics from S&P Global show that the Global Biostimulants Market is made up of: Europe - 38% Asia - 28% Latin America - 20% US & Canada - 13% Middle East & Africa - 3% Biostimulants and sustainable farming are amazing, and benefits everyone from manufacturer to consumer. We need to move the grower's mindset to embracing bio-stimulant advancement as an essential part of their program, needed to achieve world climate goals, crop quality and ROI outcomes consistently with evidence of efficacy. People want to know the food they are eating is safe, and the production of it is not harming the environment. It's got to be affordable; scales of economy need to be high to meet affordability. Supermarkets are starting to enforce residue levels, pesticides, and other elements. For the industry to embrace, improve and grow it needs an industry body who can create greater awareness and understanding. #biostimulants #futureofgrowing

Why should the future of growing matter? Key statistics: - Inorganic Fertilisers lead to 18% Ammonia Pollution - Agriculture is responsible for 87% Nitrous Oxide Emissions - Drinking Water is effected by 15% Nitrate Pollution - Microbial Biomass is reduced by an average 13% To solve our climate challenge and protect nature we must embrace, transform and accelerate innovation in agriculture. To reach our goals we must close the technology gap in agriculture, with new technologies and methods of producing food which protect nature. The bio stimulants industry has technology and solutions that deliver improved quality, yield and ROI for growers around the world. But can we move the grower's mindset to embracing our advancement as an essential part of their program? #biostimulants #futureofgrowing
