The new 22-23 agricultural campaign is proving to be one of the most unpredictable in recent years.
The farmer is making up-to-date decisions, forecasts for other years have disappeared for this campaign.
The strong drought that lasted until almost mid-October gave a panorama of despondency with no desire to sow, the appearance of generous rains in some areas, as well as high temperatures for the season, meant that those who opted for sowing have had a good cereal emergency.
What is a reality this year is that the amount of fertilizers has been significantly reduced and now many farmers are wondering what they can do because what is clear to them is that without fertilizing they will not achieve a production that allows them to continue to be profitable .
The first thing a farmer should know is how many reserves he has in the ground. Those who have done things well, i.e. providing more nutrients when the crops have been generous and adjusting when they have been more normal, have greater peace of mind than those who don’t.
One may think this comment is logical because many don’t do it that way, and if it doesn’t, there’s more to see what happens year after year in agricultural areas where, with the same climatic conditions and the same crops, there are farmers who take more than others and also of higher quality.
The best fertilization strategy and the most efficient in using the nutrients supplied is basic fertilization, which helps a small seed to achieve adequate growth when the winter environmental conditions are very harsh, and the supply of the necessary amount of nitrogen for achieve the expected yield in the area.
The best fertilization is the balanced one, which has a bit of everything, there will be people who want to replace the basic fertilizer by now applying much more, because two things can happen that nothing happens or that this element blocks others that are into the ground and do the plant a disservice.
For this reason, fertilizers that carry more nutrients, such as SulfActive range from Laziness thinking about complex fertilizers or al nitrogenous ranges with sulfur from Laziness make this fertilization more balanced and consequently more efficient.
This year more than ever the nitrogen supply must be evident in two ways:
- That which has a nitric part, the emersion has been quick and good, so if little fund has been paid, its contribution is needed sooner, and if time accompanies and production should be greater, what is needed will be applied after .
- Two, that nitrogen is accompanied by other nutrients, mainly sulfur, which helps mobilize the soil “pantry” and makes each unit of nitrogen supplied more efficient.
Not all forms of nitrogen are created equal or used the same way, not “anything goes”.
For this reason, different fertilization options must be tried and tested, comparing themselves in similar situations and obviously collecting in a differentiated way or with yield maps to see which works best.
This is what Fertiberia does every year in different areas with different soils and with different products to give the most reliable and certain answer possible to all the farmers who rely on us.
