Argentine fertilization grew 7 percent
–
The Fertilize Civil Association released preliminary data on fertilizer consumption, which during 2020 would have been 7 percent higher than the previous cycle, exceeding five million tons. In this sense, María Fernanda González Sanjuan, Fertilizar Executive Manager, said that “this growth in the use of fertilization technology is taking place in a context of good agricultural practices.” He also mentioned that “the improvement in the replacement of nutrients will result in a more balanced management and will reduce the negative impacts that are generated when the soil has to cover the requirements of the plants at the cost of their natural fertility”.
It should be noted that this year’s fine campaign started with very good nutrition, hoping to achieve record yields and restore the nutrients in the soil, but the drought had a rapid impact on some planting plans and possible refertilization schemes, with which consumption could have still increased. more with other climatic conditions.
González Sanjuan explained that there was a growth in broadcasting phosphorus replacement applications, “which allows improving the quality of environments gradually, providing sustainability to agrosystems.”
He also highlighted that having maintained the participation of grasses in the rotation is a good sign for the system: “high-yield grasses allow us to fix carbon from the environment and take care of the organic matter in our soils.”
