What kind of a return does a farmer get from using fertilizer?
The economics of buying and using fertilizer are compelling. The excellent value it provides for the world’s farmers was confirmed by a recent International Plant Nutrition Institute (IPNI) survey, which took into consideration higher crop prices and much higher fertilizer costs. Most crops in the survey returned more than $3 for every $1 invested in N, P and K fertilization. Crop quality also improved.
