KEENE, N.H., Sept. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Premium or "specialty" fertilizers are an increasingly important product category in the fertilizer industry. Manufacturers, distributors, retailers and growers alike are finding improved economics from the products, and in many cases there are indeed sustainability advantages to using more complex formulations on a variety of crops.
These formulations can include a variety of novel combinations including: micro-nutrients (zinc, boron, copper, magnesium and more); production processes that allow for slow or controlled release of nutrients; additives that reduce non-beneficial chemical reactions; and liquid formats that allow for more targeted fertilization.
But development of new products and uptake of these products by growers is in a constant state of flux. To keep the industry informed on the current and future state of the market, on December 8, 2016 fertilizer market intelligence firm Green Markets gathers professionals from across the fertilizer industry for the Specialty Fertilizer Global Summit 2016 (www.FertilizerPricing.com/SpecialtySummit).
This convenient, one-day conference explores the trends and new ideas shaping the specialty and premium fertilizer market. Speakers include:
- Dr. Andres Gransee, Director of Applied Research and Advisory Service, Institute of Applied Plant Nutrition
- Russell Taylor, Vice President, Live Earth Products Inc.
- Arthur Bentley, Managing Director Agribusiness Vertical, Headwaters MB
- Dale Edington, Purchasing & Production Manager, Advanced Micronutrient Products
