Optimize the rate of fertilizer use

Optimize fertilizer utilization rate

Every farmer wants to gain maximum profits from his crops, while reducing fertilizer costs. This is a condition for optimizing fertilizer utilization rates.

What is the best way to achieve optimum fertilizer use rates?

Crop productivity depends on many factors such as soil characteristics, irrigation, genetics, climate, culture, pests and disease control and fertilizer use.

Studies show that fertilizers account for 30- 70% of the yield. Therefore, this explains why many farmers believe that if they use more fertilizer they will be more productive. However, this is not entirely true.

So what is the relationship between fertilizer costs and crop yield?

The relationship between fertilizer use rate and potential yield is depicted in the form of a curve graph:

This is a curve showing the optimization of fertilizer use rate corresponding to yield efficiency. These curves are drawn based on many field tests.
