Starter Fertilizers: Know about Future Forecasts and Business Growth Opportunities
Starter fertilizers are fertilizers used in small amounts and placed in close proximity to seeds to enhance the growth and development of seedlings during their early growth stages. The starter fertilizers are mostly composed of phosphorous and nitrogen but may also contain zinc and other micronutrients in calcareous and high pH soils. They are used in meeting the nutritional demands of the seedlings until the plant roots systems are developed.
The depleting levels of phosphorous in the topical soils of farms around the world have been a major factor behind the rising demand for starter fertilizers. Phosphorus has an important role to play in the early root development and crop yield. Increased awareness about the importance of phosphorus and other nutrients in the early stages of plant growth through educational programs for farmers has led to a substantial level of consumption of starter fertilizers. The increasing use of starter fertilizers in the production of sillage and grain corn has spurred the demand for starter fertilizers. Burgeoning uses of starter fertilizers in corn production in Pennsylvania and other surrounding states in the US have given an impetus to the demand for the starter fertilizers.
