TRIALS on a new crop care technology designed to change how growers think about crop nutrition are underway in the Netherlands that could ultimately provide a new solution for UK potato growers.
Triplex is a new crop care technology which was unveiled by Agro-Vital earlier this month.
The technology was originally developed in the Netherlands which is carrying out trials in potatoes. While no trials are currently taking place in the UK, the company’s Managing Director Andrew Sincock said it is a target market for the technology as it creates bespoke fertiliser for individual fields, which would work perfectly for more high value crops like potatoes.
Already named Gold Winner, Arable Crop Care Innovation of the Year at the LAMMA Innovation Awards, Triplex aims to move fertiliser use away from broad-brush applications towards more precise, data-led decisions.
