Gübretaş continues to strengthen its product portfolio by taking into account the demands of the market and consumers. The rich content organomineral fertilizer patterns offered by Gübretaş to the market in the spring season had won the appreciation of farmers. Again, there was a demand above expectations for the RICHNESS product containing Effective Phosphorus Technology offered to the market in the spring season. Gübretaş increased the number of products in the EFT group and offered two more fertilizers, DAP and TROPHY, to grain producers.

General Manager Aytaç ONKUN regarding the subject;

“As a result of our studies on product development and diversification, which aim to provide benefits to the soil and our producers through the most accurate and effective use of plant nutrition products, new fertilizer patterns started to meet with consumers in the spring months. These products, which will contribute to efficient and high-quality crop harvest with optimum fertilizer consumption, are innovative products supported by technology that will also eliminate the problems arising from traditional consumption habits.”

“We attach importance to the use of technology with innovative product patterns in order to create added value in terms of the sustainability of agricultural production and to bring the fertility of the soil to the society. In particular, the inadequacy of traditional farmer practices in combating climate change has accelerated our R&D studies that will create added value in plant nutrition. In addition to yield and quality, we address sustainable agriculture and the protection of ecosystems together. For sustainable agricultural production that is sensitive to the environment and people, the protection of ecosystems is as important as increasing yield. We continue to develop and market new generation plant nutrition products supported by technology in order to grow strategic products in terms of the agricultural industry in our country, especially to detect plant nutrient deficiencies and to restore decreasing soil fertility without harming the environment, and to bring them together with our producers.”

What is Effective Phosphorus Technology?

Effective Phosphorus Technology is an innovative product that eliminates the binding problems of phosphorus originating from the structure of the soil and increases the efficiency of phosphorus uptake by plants. Fertilizers containing this technology ensure that phosphorus that remains bound in the soil for various reasons is released, thus preparing the environment for plants to benefit from this element at the maximum level.

Gübretaş introduced its products containing Effective Phosphorus Technology to the market under the umbrella brand Royal Starter. The brands and patterns of Royal Starter products are as follows:

EFT RICHNESS (13.18.15+10SO3+2MgO)
EFT DAP (18.46.0)
EFT TROPHY (16.24.0+20 SO3+ME)

Benefits of Products Containing EFT

It is an ideal product to prevent resource waste and soil pollution by using the optimum phosphorus needed by the plant in regions where excessive phosphorus is unconsciously consumed.
The technology in Royal Starter reduces phosphorus fixation in the soil.
Royal Starter keeps phosphorus in the soil in a form that the plant can benefit from at any time. Thus, it helps the plant to benefit more from water and nutrients by increasing root development and increasing its yield potential.
Protective fertilizer increases the intake of trace elements such as Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu.
Protective is 100% biodegradable in the soil and is an ecological product.
Organomineral Fertilizers

The organic matter amounts of agricultural soils determine the efficiency in agricultural production. Soil organic matter, which affects the working performance of chemical fertilizers used to increase the amount of product to be obtained from a unit area in agricultural production, becomes higher performing with organomineral products formed by the combination of chemical fertilizers with organic substances.

The solid organomineral fertilizer patterns offered to the market with the Gübretaş Leolife umbrella brand are as follows:

8.21.0+(10SO3)+ME
11.11.11+(11SO3)+ME
24.0.0+(20SO3)

What are the Benefits of Organomineral Fertilizers?

In soils with low organic matter content, the uptake of nutrients given to the soil with chemical fertilizers decreases. Organomineral fertilizers provide a rich growth environment for plants by increasing the nutrient reserves in the soil thanks to the minerals and organic substances they contain.

With organomineral fertilizer applications, the hard structure in heavy-textured soils is dissolved and the soil softens, gains an easily workable, permeable and airy structure. Thus, the mobility of plant roots in the soil increases.

It prevents the formation of a crust layer in the soil and supports the downward movement of water in the soil layers. Thus, germinated plants easily come to the soil surface without being exposed to a physical obstacle and the number of plants in the unit area is preserved.

In light-textured (sandy) soils, it aggregates the soil by binding the sand grains together. Thus, the water retention capacity of the soil increases and the rapid loss of plant nutrients from the soil (leaching away) is prevented.

The salinity and pH problems carried to the soil by chemical fertilizers are buffered by the organic substances contained in organomineral fertilizers.

The presence of organic and inorganic raw materials together in organomineral fertilizers is more economical in terms of labor and fertilizer efficiency.
