Yara’s agronomic research worldwide is coordinated by an international team of scientists which are located at “The Hanninghof Research Centre” in Germany. The team continually scouts research, investigates and develops plant nutrition concepts, tools & services to support grower profitability.
Recent research work has been investigating the value of the different forms of phosphorus contained in YaraMila fertilisers. Research conducted by Yara has identified that ammonium citrate soluble phosphorus or P-Extend, easier to remember, is fully plant available. It releases at a consistent rate and improves phosphorus availability up to 70-80 days after application. It is a benefit in both alkaline and acidic soils and is not fixed by aluminium and iron. Other Granular NPK fertiliser do not have the same availability as this is a positive benefit of the high quality raw materials used to manufacture YaraMila products.
