A: The greatest challenge for Swiss farmers will be to meet new environmental targets. There is a growing focus on the relationship between production and ecology. ENTEC®26 helps us cut nitrous oxide emissions while increasing crop yields significantly. Our purchases are supported by the KliK Foundation, a climate protection foundation which ® Markus Kempf FERTILIZER PRODUCT MANAGER AT OMYA, subsidises ENTEC 26 due to SWITZERLAND its environmental benefits. Q: Why are EuroChem’s sulphur-containing fertilizers important for vegetable growing in your region? A: Sulphur is an indispensable nutrient for all crops, but especially for cabbage and the onion family. In our region, the production of vegetables with leaves is dominant. A good sulphur supply to the plant ensures a darker leaf colour and thus a better outer and inner appearance. This is important as it enables us to achieve the optimum market price. Improved air quality means sulphur inputs have dropped significantly in recent years.
