1. Opportunities & Challenges for Bringing Fertilizers to Latin America: What Does It Take to Survive?
Author: Paul Zheng, editor of AgroPages
Latin America is an important region for global food production and export.

This, in turn, will support increased fertilizers consumption.

Agriculture in the United States uses less land, and far less labor, today than it did in the 1940s. Yet agricultural production grew by 169 percent between 1948 and 2013, with nearly all of it due to improvements in productivity. Biological, mechanical, chemical, and organizational innovations from both public and private sector investments in research and development (R&D) have largely driven this productivity growth.

BREAK-TRHU® DA products contain multiple occurrences of these anchoring groups which are particularly effective for adsorbing onto many organic pesticide particles. Due to their amphiphilic character, these dispersants decrease the surface tension of water and thereby provide wetting of solids into water. This enhances the milling efficiency and leads to smaller particle sizes which improves biological efficacy.

The fall-out from last year's decision by the UK to withdraw from the European Union continues to bring unparalleled uncertainty to biopesticide industry across the UK and deep concern especially in research and development.
