The term enhanced-efficiency fertilizers (EEFs) encompasses slow-and controlled-release fertilizers, and fertilizers stabilized with urease and nitrification inhibitors.
The market for enhanced-efficiency fertilizers (EEFs) develops at sustained pace. Traditionally, these products have mainly been applied to specialty crops. However, slow and controlled-release fertilizers increase progressively their market share in the broadacre crop sector (rice in Japan, and more recently corn in the USA and rice in China). How is the EEF market expected to evolve in the medium- to long-term? What will be the key drivers of the EEF market: product development, economics or policy environment?
In 2005, the International Fertilizer Industry Association (IFA) organized an international workshop on EEFs. This was the first international industry event entirely dedicated to EEFs. Five years later, it is time to update our knowledge in the field of research and development, agronomic and environmental benefits, economics of EEF use, policy and regulatory framework, current market and outlook. In this connection, IFA and New Ag International have agreed to join forces and co-organize a one and a half-day conference on EEFs, on 23 March 2010 and the morning of 24 March 2010 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Miami downtown, in conjunction with the 8th New Ag International Conference, which commences on 24 March 2010 in the afternoon.
Please note: The Hyatt Regency is now full - please book one of the two support hotels below ...
