Introduction of Cost-Efficient CRF Fertilizers to Help Market Gain Impetus
The American Plant Food Control Officials (AAPFCO) defines controlled-release fertilizers as plant-nutrient containing fertilizers that delay its availability for plant uptake and use after application. With the increasing population, governments of various nations are imposing security on food. This is likely to help promote the delayed-release fertilizers market growth. Besides this, companies are trying to introduce cost-efficient and encapsulated CRF fertilizers and this will further attract high slow acting fertilizers market revenue in the forecast duration.
The increasing environmental concerns are further propelling agriculturists, farmers and others to improve the utilization of fertilizers for increasing nutrient uptake among crops. This, as per analyst at Fortune Business Insights™, will further contribute to the decline in environmental stress and ultimately help to increase the overall CRF fertilizer market size in the foreseeable future.
However, the lack of proper laws for protecting controlled-release fertilizers may affect the overall CRF market size in the forecast period. Nevertheless, government efforts and the launch of various educational programs for farmers are likely to help create lucrative controlled-release fertilizer market growth opportunities in the near future.
