Innovative solutions in plant nutrition: scientists and practitioners unite for the future of the agricultural sector

Innovative solutions in plant nutrition: scientists and practitioners unite for the future of the agricultural sector.
In a world of rapidly developing agricultural technologies, the issue of efficient use of fertilisers and optimisation of plant nutrition systems is becoming increasingly important. This important topic is the focus of the conference "Formula for Profitable Nutrition 2025", which has become a landmark event for the domestic agricultural sector. Professors, postgraduate students and students attended the conference with interest.

The conference was particularly practical, as participants received not only theoretical knowledge but also specific recommendations on how to implement innovative solutions on their farms.
The central topic of discussion was the modernisation of the technical park for efficient fertiliser application. Participants had a unique opportunity to learn about the real results of using different fertiliser application methods based on the practical experience of successful farms.
Particular attention was drawn to the presentation by Associate Professor Nadiia Bordyuzha, who presented an in-depth analysis of the effectiveness of various forms of sulphur and zinc-containing fertilisers, including ammonium thiosulphate (ATS), ammonium sulphate (AS), zinc nitrate and zinc chelate. Her presentation sparked a lively discussion on the optimal choice of fertiliser forms for different soil and climatic conditions.

Dmytro Gordeychuk shared the results of the fertiliser market analytics, including production, sales and key aspects of price and demand formation for 2025.

   In times of digital transformation in the agricultural sector, it is impossible to ignore the use of modern digital tools. The conference participants learnt about advanced methods of calculating fertiliser application rates that take into account the heterogeneity of soil conditions and the specifics of growing different crops. Experts demonstrated how modern technologies can help optimise resource use and increase the efficiency of agricultural production.

Olga Kapitanska presented a thorough report, sharing the results of research into the effectiveness of liquid starter phosphate fertilisers under different options for pre-sowing nitrogen application. Of particular interest was the presentation of the additional capabilities of In-Furrow technology, which demonstrated significant potential for increasing the efficiency of fertiliser use.

Oleg Furmanets focused on the impact of soil cationic composition on crop nutrition. He elaborated on phosphorus nutrition management and its effectiveness in local application, which aroused considerable interest among practitioners.

 Volodymyr Makhota presented the results of the Digital Field 2024 project, demonstrating the impressive results of the agronomic and economic efficiency of the implemented technological solutions. His presentation clearly showed how digital technologies help to optimise resource use and increase production profitability.

The conference has become a unique platform for sharing experiences and establishing professional contacts. Participants had the opportunity not only to hear expert presentations, but also to take part in live discussions, ask questions to leading industry experts and discuss current issues with colleagues.
The conference "Formula for Profitable Nutrition 2025" was an important step in the development of the domestic agricultural sector and will help farmers increase the efficiency of their farms by implementing innovative solutions in the field of plant nutrition.
