Why is Fertilizer Important for Vegetables?
Fertilizer plays an essential role in the overall growth and yield of vegetable crops, especially in commercial environments. The soil you plant your vegetable in will ultimately become the vegetable pant’s habitat, which is why it is so important that the soil contains the required chemical, and biological properties that will promote the optimal plant growth. Vegetable plants, just like other living organisms, require certain nutrients and minerals to grow, and ultimately bear fruit.
What makes the application of fertilizer in commercial environments so essential, is that the soil is used over and over every year to plant the desired vegetable types. This means that the previous plants that grew in the soil, have soaked up all the nutrients and minerals present in the soil, leaving little for future crops. Supplemental fertilizer will thus enrich the soil with the nutrients and minerals needed for optimal growth of the next generation of vegetables planted.
Kynoch is a leading producer and supplier of Fertilizer in South Africa, and has developed a range of fertilizers designed to meet the specific nutrient needs of different crop types, and at different growth phases.

Enhanced Efficiency through Innovation
Kynoch’s vision is to be an innovative plant nutrition supplier that complements our clients’ businesses through Yield Enhancing Technologies® and innovation that enhances fertilizer performance. This, as well as a comprehensive range of agronomic services, plant nutrient scheduling® aligned with plant development and growth enhancers, allows us and our clients to manage the growth of their crops optimally.
Researchers work constantly to develop technologies that improve fertilizer performance and efficiency. Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizers are fertilizer products that can reduce nutrient losses to the environment while increasing nutrient availability for the crop. These fertilizers can either slow down the release of nutrients for uptake or alter the conversion of nutrients to other forms that may be less prone to losses.
To complete the full range of plant nutrition requirements, other fertilizer materials and enhancers are sourced locally and internationally. As a result, your long-standing innovative plant nutrition partner now brings you Enhanced Efficiency through Innovation.
Our product offering is continuously being updated to ensure we bring you the latest proven technology and enhancers in improving the quality and efficiency of our products and also your crop as you can nurture growth at every stage.
N-hanced-N®  
Kynoch is the exclusive distributor of the globally proven Agrotain® nitrogen stabiliser supplied by Koch Industries. This Agrotain® technology was the first of many technologies that we adopted to ensure efficiency on the farm. It allowed us to build a new category of N-hanced-N® products which are known as the KynoPlus® range.
KynoPlus® was specifically designed to mitigate the potential volatilisation losses typically associated with urea. This product is beneficial to all farmers but particularly so to no-till farmers faced with large amounts of crop residue on the soil surface. The higher efficiency of KynoPlus® can also reduce transport costs and handling on the farm.
Soil testing helps farmers and agriculturalists to determine any shortcomings regarding nutrients present in the soil, and how much fertilizer is required. If you are a commercial vegetable farmer, then supplementary fertilizer is essential. Many factors affect the choice of fertilizer for your vegetables, such as the soil structure and chemical composition and the method that will be used to apply the fertilizer.
