Agri-Elemental Ltd

Agri-Elemental Ltd is a consultancy formed primarily to improve the efficiency of crop production and protect the environment on large-scale commercial farmland, via the use of its in-house tool, NPK-MAX. NPK-MAX, a mass balance calculator, accounts for the crop nutrition elements available to a grower. It creates and records plans for these elements, and demonstrates areas of loss to be improved upon in the future. It helps improve the efficiency of crop production while maintaining environmental protection. It ensures farm compliance with many areas of the Nitrate Pollution Prevention Regulations 2015 and The Reduction and Prevention of Agricultural Diffuse Pollution (England) Regulations 2018. It also meets the obligation of all members of Red Tractor Schemes to create and record the details of crop nutrition and manure management plans where appropriate. NPK-MAX achieves compliance by utilising the contents of the RB209 Nutrient Management Guide, to form a bespoke crop nutrition and manure management plan in a single report. NPK-MAX places client engagement at the heart of the product, improving crop production efficiency by maximising the availability of expensive nutritional elements, either manufactured or organic, purchased or produced, including livestock manures, biosolids, digestate, compost, paper pulp, and crop residue. It promotes environmental protection by maximising elemental crop absorption and minimising losses either as harmful global warming gases such as ammonia or nitrous oxide, or as leachate into watercourses, reducing the potential for eutrophication of water. It also promotes growers’ education and autonomy by engaging them in the process of deciding which materials are best used, when they’re used, where they’re used, and the best method of application. Growers save money through greater elemental utilisation, ultimately reducing cost and improving profitability. Why NPK-MAX? Because crop nutrition doesn't have to cost the earth.
