Sustainability

Responding to a World Hungry for Sustainable Solutions

The world’s population is expected to grow to 9 billion people by 2050. A global technology boom in agriculture is increasing efficiencies in water use and demand for high efficiency liquid fertilizers and effective crop protection.

Crop Vitality products deliver demonstrated value to growers who are trying to maintain financially successful enterprises on the same land that has belonged to families for generations.

Farmers are still the best stewards of the environment and the most vigilant conservationists. They know and respect the value of their land. So do we. That’s why Crop Vitality is committed to delivering products that adhere to Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) are kind to the land, effective for crops, efficient in terms of water use, and beneficial for the grower when higher quality crops generate greater return on investment.

Sources of Sulfur

Upcycled Sulfur

Tessenderlo Kerley excels in upcycling sulfur for the agricultural market.

Our fertilizers leverage this high value sulfur to support crops in:

  • formation of chlorophyll
  • protein production
  • synthesis of oils
  • activation of enzymes

  • Young Potato Field

    How to Boost Potato Yield with Seed-Safe Potassium

    It’s no secret that potatoes are a nutrient demanding crop, especially for potassium. In the first 6-10 weeks, potatoes will take up the majority of nutrients needed in the entire growing season. Being that a potato requires large amounts of potassium, getting an early boost of nutrients it needs at planting is beneficial for several reasons.
  • Soybean Field

    In-Season Potassium and Sulfur Fertility in Soybeans

    In a corn-soybean rotation within the Midwest, soybeans can often be overshadowed by the focus on a strong nutrient management program for a corn crop. However, considering the yield potential and genetics in place today, soybean fertility programs need thoughtful consideration as well. We know that when it comes to nitrogen, soybeans are for the...
