Agromaster® Carrots Trial in Germany

9%

Yield increase

Agromaster® was tested in a trial with carrots at the precision agriculture trial station of Neuhofen in Germany

9%

Yield increase

Key Conclusions

  • Higher yields – up by 9%
    Steered by soil temperature, nitrogen is released according to plant needs and improves marketable yield by 9% – extra 3.5 mt/ha
  • Improved nitrogen uptake – up by 5.3%
    Coated nitrogen is made available to plants at the right time and rate thereby nitrogen uptake is improved
  • Higher NUE – up by 7%
    Compared to N-Inhibitors, Agromaster® increased nitrogen use efficiency by 7%
  • Positive ROI – extra 1659 €/ha
    Increase of marketable yield brings extra profit to growers and makes Agromaster® a reliable solution to fertilize open field soil grown crops

Objective

To evaluate the performance of Agromaster®, as controlled release nitrogen-based fertilizer, compared to double inhibited-based urea, in respect of yield and nitrogen use efficiency for carrot production.

Results

Bar charts comparing carrot yield and nitrogen uptake efficiency for different fertilizer treatments. The first chart shows total and marketable yield in metric tons per hectare for Zero N, N-inhibitors, and Agromaster treatments, with Agromaster achieving the highest yields. The second chart shows nitrogen uptake (kg/ha) and nitrogen efficiency, indicating increases of 5.3% with N-inhibitors and 7% with Agromaster.
