en.Wedoany.com Reported, The Spanish fertilizer group Fertiberia is introducing its NSAFE bio-inhibitor technology to the German and Dutch markets, marking its first expansion beyond the Iberian Peninsula following commercialization in Spain and Portugal. The promotional activities will be handled by the group's Dutch subsidiary, Van de Reijt Meststoffen, as nitrogen use efficiency and soil health are focal points of agricultural policies in both countries.
NSAFE is described as a microbial nitrification inhibitor designed to reduce nitrogen losses and maintain soil biodiversity. After more than six years of research and development, this patented technology differs from traditional chemical inhibitors by targeting nitrate instead of ammonium, temporarily integrating nitrogen into microbial biomass before releasing it back into the soil. Fertiberia states that this mechanism enables a more gradual nutrient supply, helping to improve crop uptake efficiency and reduce leaching and volatilization losses.
Trials conducted in collaboration with institutions such as Wageningen University, Ghent University, and the Spanish National Research Council have shown that NSAFE technology can reduce nitrogen leaching by approximately 20% and cut nitrous oxide emissions by 20% to 60%. Over 70 field trials indicate an average increase in nitrogen use efficiency of 70%, with arable crop yields rising by more than 7% and even higher benefits observed in woody and horticultural systems.
Initially, NSAFE will be incorporated into two products within Fertiberia's Nergetic Complete series. The company states that this expansion aligns with its strategy to promote low-carbon crop nutrition technologies in Europe, as regulators and farmers face pressure to reduce emissions and nutrient losses while maintaining productivity.
