Yara's nitrogen fertilizer products can help boost crop yield
Main content
Yara's core business of nitrogen fertilizer production is intimately connected with agricultural productivity and food production. The role of fertilizers in food production is usually underestimated. Fertilizers are food for plants. Just as we need essential minerals and nutrients for strong, healthy growth, so do the world's crops.
The three major nutrients required for a wide range of growth processes are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, or NPK. But other minerals are also essential as micronutrients - for example, manganese (Mn), iron (Fe) and copper (Cu) - have a number of important functions in plant nutrition. Nitrogen fertilizers replace the nutrients that crops remove from the soil. Without the addition of fertilizers, crop yields would be significantly reduced. That’s why mineral fertilizers are used to supplement the soil’s nutrient stocks with minerals that can be quickly absorbed and used by crops.
Correct crop nutrition involves supplying a properly balanced diet of nutrients and micronutrients to optimize plant health and growth while minimizing waste and pollution. Yara is the world's leading producer of nitrogen fertilizers, and with its Crop Nutrition Concept can assist growers in increasing food production.
Yara offers not only a product range that meets all crop nutrition needs, but also crop-specific advice and nitrogen fertilizer management tools.
Yara's nitrogen fertilizer portfolio – sold as five main brands - represents the most complete product portfolio in the industry. The company produces and markets complex NPKs, Nitrates (ammonium nitrate, calcium ammonium nitrate and calcium nitrate), UAN, Urea, Ammonia and other differentiated and value added speciality fertilizers with additional plant nutrients.
The knowledge we acquire from our research center and the field is quickly disseminated throughout the organization and to our commercial partners. Yara’s research center helps provide knowledge to support the company’s nitrogen fertilizer management programs.

"There was a stage when it was touch and go. Yields were down and crop quality was under par. I wasn't sure if my family and I had a future in this business. But that's well behind us now," says Australian potato farmer Aaron Haby. After switching to Yara's fertilizer program, the profitability of the Haby family's Nadine potato crop blossomed.
