Arevo launches new crop nutrition system to reduce dependency on harmful fertilisers and give growers more predictable and consistent yields
• Between 60-70% of European soil is degraded, which threatens crop productivity, reduces soil carbon storage, increases risk of nutrient and pollutant losses, and undermines biodiversity.
• Despite facing continued pressure from rising input costs, farmers are looking for alternatives to traditional fertilisers to lower environmental impact and protect yields - but need assurances.
• Arevo has developed single-compound crop nutrition technology that has proven efficacy and outperforms alternatives, delivering more crop per unit of nitrogen.
