Crop yield enhancing encompasses the management of the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC) to promote optimal crop production. This complex and dynamic system holds several benefits if expertly managed.
This includes but is not exclusive to improved plant start-up from seed or seedling shoot, improved plant and root health and improved nutrient and water intake as well as stress and drought mitigation. Crop yield enhancing also helps with preventing or at least managing nutrient tie-up within the soil and inside the plant.
As a result, farmers are seeing better results from the fertilizers when enhancers are being introduced and this is translating to increased agricultural output.
Produce output and fertilizer enhancers have been proven to provide economic and environmental benefits. Introducing agricultural output enhancers has seen growing improvement season on season in both the quality of the soil as well as an increasing return on investment.
There are several factors contributing to the success of any crop production, regardless of the type, but one of the most important ingredients in this process is the presence and the management of the nitrogen in the soil.
Introducing nitrogen to the plant at the right time is essential to procuring a successful yield. In fact, John D. Bailey, National Product Manager – Row Crops, Timac Agro, calls poor nitrogen use efficiency the “single-most pressing fertilizer issue that faces us in agriculture.”
He adds, “It causes product output loss, environmental degradation and poor return on investment.” This concern takes place more often than necessary as farmers often don’t make use of crop yield enhancers.
Still, however, extensive research indicates that crop yield enhancing is hugely advantageous to crop producers.
This is why Kynoch has drawn on its one hundred years of proven expertise and experience, utilising leading agriculturists and product developers to procure a premium yield enhancing management system.
