Although little known and underestimated, fertilizing residual materials (FRMs) are a cost-saving solution for farmers.

“There’s an FRM for every need, from fertilizing to adding organic matter and correcting pH,” says Simon Naylor, Vice-President and Co-Founder of Viridis environnement. Viridis has a 70% share of the FRM recovery market and delivers 600,000 tonnes of organic matter to 700 farm businesses each year.

Some crops—like corn, cereals, canola and potatoes—have higher input requirements. In such cases, tight application management is key to minimizing fertilizer loss and pollution. That’s where PurYield controlled-release nitrogen comes in.

Corn silage is an essential part of many livestock operations as a primary feed ingredient. Maximizing silage crop performance is key to profitability as a result. So, when you approach corn planting time, it is a good idea to review your corn fertility program and your Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) management strategies.

Managing nitrogen loss due to volatilization, leaching and denitrification is an essential part of preserving the environment and reducing the amount of greenhouse gases generated by corn production. Fortunately, that’s why we have nitrogen protection products!

Problem #1 : Volatilization

Nitrogen volatilization occurs when urea is applied to the soil’s surface but not absorbed.
