A NEW nutrition product suitable for potatoes has been developed by Agro-Vital, part of the Agriton group, which uses farm-specific data to create adaptable nutrition programmes tailored to crop needs and conditions.
Managing Director at Agriton, Andrew Sincock, said: “Triplex is designed to deliver nutrients precisely where and when they’re needed, providing a practical, rapid and, crucially, sustainable solution.”
Following successful prototype development and rapid adoption in the Netherlands, early UK trials of the technology have also yielded promising results ahead of a full operational season in 2026, with growers and industry partners already expressing strong interest.
Andrew said the system is built around nutrient use efficiency, crop performance and environmental protection. It was been selected as Gold Winner in the Arable Crop Care Innovation of the Year category at the LAMMA Innovation Awards 2026, ahead of its official launch at the show.
Agriton has previously conducted trials in Wales exploring the use of liquid fertiliser such as Triplex in potato growing with the aim of providing a cost-effective, environmentally-friendly option to reduce reliance on traditional granular phosphate without negatively impacting crop quality. Initial observations from these trials indicated the treated potato plots grew robustly while the crop showed no apparent difference in health or development compared to the farm’s standard plots.
