Soil management

Proper planting and fertilizing can go a long way toward delivering good results. But to get the most out of your crops, it’s critical to pay close attention to every need and make sure you’re meeting them. That means balancing plant nutrition and making sure your plants can optimize the uptake of nutrients.

For balanced nutrition, growers need to optimize uptake of nutrients and reduce nitrogen loss, all while facing economic pressures, scarce resources and increasing government regulations. Only about half of the nitrogen in fertilizer isn’t taken up by the plant. That unused nitrogen is a golden opportunity to drive improvement through better solutions. We are driving that innovation.

Sustainability

The U.S. Department of Agriculture defines sustainability as producing enough food and fiber to satisfy today’s needs without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same. At BASF we view sustainability in a holistic way. It’s not only the critical agronomic practices that conserve soil health and reduce greenhouse gasses. Sustainability encompasses all the environmental, economic and social factors that contribute to preserving the long-term viability of the farm.

While it’s critical to make sustainable agriculture work for the future health of people and the planet, it’s just as important to maximize yield potential and profitability for the long-term economic and social sustainability of farmers and their families. Our sustainability goals include:

Benefits for the farmer

• Greater crop resilience in weather extremes
• Improved yield potential
• Being able to pass the farm to the next generation

Benefits for the land

• Reduced soil erosion
• Greater water holding capacity
• Rebuilding soil organic matter

Benefits for the planet

• CO₂ captured in the soil
• Reduced greenhouse gasses
