Nanomaterials as fertilizers for improving plant mineral nutrition and environmental outcomes Peter M. Kopittke, *a Enzo Lombi, b Peng Wang,c Jan K. Schjoerringd and Søren Hustedd Food production must increase markedly to feed the growing human population, but this needs to be achieved whilst simultaneously reducing adverse environmental impacts. In this regard, there is increasing […]
Read moreDeveloped by the University of Copenhagen the NN-Easy55 works on chlorophyll fluorescence. Numerous studies have shown that manganese deficiency has a unique effect on the emissions of chlorophyll fluorescence. Manganese deficiency is therefore detectable with chlorophyll fluorescence long before visual deficiency symptoms are present. This is due to the irreplaceable role of manganese in photosynthesis. […]
Read moreWe all know that good nutrition is required to achieve maximum yield potential, but the most essential element is H20. When receiving below average rainfall events in the growing season it is paramount to make the most of every drop. Water use efficiency (WUE) is essential to get maximum efficiency. Getting the crop out the […]

Read moreMicro Nutrients, although only needed in small amounts are critical to the development of plants. Needed for: germination and emergence; Photosynthesis; production of the root and shoot partitioning; reproductive development; flowering; pollination; grain set, grain fill; protein as well as assisting in tolerance to stress from drought, heat, frost and disease. Copper is one element […]
