Course Description:
Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizers (EEFs) are considered a key tool to achieve optimal Nitrogen use efficiency and help fulfill the 30% emission reduction target set by many sustainability initiatives. Although the technology employed in EEFs is not new, innovative compounds are being used to enhance the efficacy of conventional urease inhibitors and nitrification inhibitors. This course will cover the importance of Nitrogen, understanding Nitrogen fertilizer losses, benefits of using EEF’s and how biostimulants can drive Nitrogen use efficiency.
