Biochar, a powerfully circular way to fight climate change Energy access is a complex issue for the African continent, where 70% of the population in sub-Saharan Africa depends on biomass for energy. This means most people burn firewood, charcoal, agricultural residues, and animal dung for cooking and other daily activities. While bioenergy is renewable, its overuse can cause deforestation and soil erosion. The lack of a secure and sustainable energy supply is connected to Africa’s food security and climate change challenges. Biochar is being promoted as a solution that can address all three challenges by enhancing soil fertility and sequestering carbon.

Specialized biostimulant for root development and vegetative growth on field crops Turbocrop stands as a specialized biostimulant, strategically crafted to elevate root development and stimulate vegetative growth across crops. The formulation is tailored to fortify plants against abiotic stressors, encompassing extreme temperatures, drought conditions, and nutrient deficiencies. Its multifaceted benefits include enhanced root architecture, optimized nutrient utilization, and holistic support for robust plant growth, ultimately contributing to improved crop resilience and productivity.
Boost your Bean Production Yield In Sub-Saharan Africa, common bean production faces challenges due to poor soil nutrient availability. To address this issue, specialized fertilizer blends designed for common beans offer a balanced mix of nutrients, including phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, and sometimes starter nitrogen, tailored to soil conditions and crop needs. These custom blends, combined with the right application timing and methods, significantly boost common bean productivity, nitrogen fixation, and resilience to environmental stressors, ultimately leading to improved yields and crop quality. This technology plays a vital role in enhancing food security and income for bean farmers in the region.
Unlock Maize Potential with Balanced Fertilizer Bliss! Balanced Fertilizer Blend for Maize is a specialized mixture of nutrients crucial for optimal maize growth. Proper application of this blend ensures robust root systems, disease resistance, and improved grain production. It addresses the issue of inadequate nutrient supply which often leads to subpar yields and environmental losses. This technology provides a cost-effective and efficient solution for maize farmers, enhancing both profitability and sustainability.
Unlocking Maize's Full Potential Pre-emergence herbicides for maize crops are a crucial innovation for agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa. High weed encroachment poses a significant threat to crop yields by depleting soil nutrients and water. These herbicides, applied before or at planting, prevent weed development during the critical early growth stages of maize, ensuring higher grain yields, better fertilizer efficiency, and increased resilience to drought. Their adoption is vital for improving food security and agricultural sustainability in the region.
Special fertilizer for root and tuber crops The technology "Specialty Blended Fertilizers for Root and Tuber Crops", plays a pivotal role in enhancing the growth, productivity, and resilience of tuber and root crops like sweetpotato and cassava. These specially designed fertilizers provide a balanced mix of essential nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and sulfur, addressing deficiencies commonly found in soils across Sub-Saharan Africa. By applying the right nutrient blends at the appropriate time and location, these fertilizers significantly improve tuber quality, crop yield, and the plants' ability to withstand drought, pests, and diseases.
Fertilize for Success: Banana & Plantain Boost The Specialty Fertilizers and Local Blending for Banana and Plantain technology addresses the widespread issue of low nutrient availability in Sub-Saharan Africa's soils. Specially designed fertilizer blends are used to provide a balanced supply of nutrients, enhancing the productivity and nutritional value of banana and plantain crops while making them more resilient to drought and pests.
Smarter Fertilizer, Stronger Crops: Maximize Growth with Minimal Input "Micro-dosing of Fertilizers in Precision Agriculture," holds significant importance for small-scale millet and sorghum farmers. These farmers often face challenges related to inadequate fertilizer use, leading to soil fertility decline and increased risk of crop failure. Micro-dosing offers a crucial solution by allowing precise and efficient application of small fertilizer quantities at the base of each plant. This approach minimizes risk, reduces input costs, and results in improved crop establishment, nutrient absorption, and water utilization. By utilizing this technology, farmers can enhance yields, protect the environment by reducing nutrient loss, and ultimately promote sustainable and profitable agricultural practices.
Empowering Aquaculture with Affordable Feeds Formulation and Pelleting of Low-Cost Feeds" plays a pivotal role in enhancing the profitability of fish farming in Sub-Saharan Africa. By locally sourcing ingredients and employing pelleting technologies, this approach significantly reduces feed costs, which typically account for 60% to 70% of a fish farmer's operating expenses. Moreover, pelleted fish feeds are more water-stable, boost nutrient transfer, and are environmentally friendly due to reduced pollution. This cost-effective and efficient method contributes to the sustainability and economic viability of aquaculture in the region.
Targeted nutrients for stronger crops and richer grain Foliar micronutrient addition involves spraying rice crops with liquid fertilizers containing essential elements like magnesium, calcium, copper, zinc, manganese, and boron. These micronutrients are often deficient in Sub-Saharan African soils, affecting rice yields and nutritional value. Applying micronutrients directly onto rice leaves and stems is a cost-effective solution that enhances crop health, increases grain production, and boosts nutritional content. The method is easy to adopt, does not require significant infrastructure, and can be tailored to specific soil deficiencies.
Boost rice yields and save on fertilizer costs through efficient nitrogen management The technology of Deep Urea Placement offers a significant solution to the challenges of nitrogen fertilizer application in Sub-Saharan Africa's rice paddies. By drilling large urea granules or briquettes into the soil, it allows for a slow release of nitrogen into the root zone of rice crops, improving nutrient uptake, soil fertility, and crop productivity. This approach not only enhances grain yield and quality but also leads to cost savings, additional income for farmers, reduced environmental nitrogen losses, and ultimately contributes to food security and reduced dependence on food imports.
