Controlled Release Fertilizers to Gain Traction over Conventional Fertilizers, on back of Improved Crop Efficiency

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / March 2, 2021 / Fact.MR: Broader initiatives toward sustainable agriculture continues to boost controlled release fertilizer sales, but inflexibility and inconsistency remain deterrents. A new market study by consulting firm Fact.MR opines demand for controlled fertilizers to grow at nearly 5% in 2021. The potential for further demand remains significant, however, in the absence of regulations, adoption remains modest in many agrarian economies.

Fact.MR's study tracks global sales of controlled release fertilizers in 20+ countries, highlighting key aspects will drive demand in the future.

"Controlled release fertilizers are sustainable, and in sync with the greener future of agriculture. However, pragmatic challenges with supply-demand and cost mean adoption will take its own time," says an Fact.MR analyst.

Root Burn and Nutrient Deficiencies Remain Chronic Challenges

According to Fact.MR's survey with stakeholders across the controlled release fertilizer value chain, lack of flexibility remains a key deterrent to wider adoption.

Water soluble fertilizers provide growers the flexibility of adjusting the rate of fertilizer application, however, controlled release fertilizers are devoid of this flexibility.

Further, the same level of release is sometimes not in sync with the actual quantity of fertilizer required by a crop. The inflexibility continues to remain a key reason why growers still prefer conventional fertilizers.

The Fact.MR study profiles some of the leading players in the controlled-release fertilizer market, highlighting their key strategies.

Some of the controlled releaser fertilizer manufacturers profiled in the study include AgroBridge, ATS (Growth Products), Compo GmbH & Co. KG, Ekompany, Eurochem Agro GmbH, Greenfeed Agro Sdn Bhd, Haifa Group, Hangfeng Evergreen Inc, Harrell's LLC, HIF Tech Sdn Bhd, Israel Chemicals Ltd, JNC Corporation (Chisso), Kingenta International, Nufarm Ltd., Nutrien, Scotts Miracle Gro, Smart Fert, Sociedad Quimica Y Minera De Chile SA, and Yara International.
