URALCHEM has successfully exhibited at its fourth Cereals event in Lincoln, UK. The company’s new water soluble products were well received by the participants and visitors of the trade show.

Lincoln, UK (June 14, 2013) — URALCHEM has successfully exhibited at its fourth Cereals event in Lincoln, UK. The company’s new water soluble products were well received by the participants and visitors of the trade show.

Although at the moment the demand for soluble fertilizers in the UK is not particularly large, it is well established, and URALCHEM wants its UK customers to know that it is now supplying these products. Soluble fertilizers are primarily used in greenhouse farming; some interest is also coming from liquid fertilizer producers who want to manufacture speciality and added-value products.

The United Kingdom and Ireland remain strategic markets for URALCHEM’s nitrogen based fertilizers. Due to the weather conditions here, the UK market demand has been volatile, when even normally regular seasonal purchases shifted by a couple of months. However, the company’s position is to remain a reliable supplier to its customers and to keep and grow long-established partnership with them.

Graham Dunn, URALCHEM’s Agent in the United Kingdom and Ireland, said, “We have seen a lot of interest to our products, including the NS 30:7 that we first introduced to the UK market a year ago. URALCHEM is one of the first Russian producers to declare that fertilizer should not be seen as a commodity. The company employs highly qualified agronomists and chemists to develop the precisely formulated fertilizers that farmers need. Today we have a large portfolio of speciality products which we want our customers to get to know and use.”

“It is important for UK to recognize that it is part of an inter-connected global market. Today businesses have to compare markets globally: for example, the UK fertilizer market is 5 million tonnes and the one in Brazil 30 million tonnes. Manufacturers will send their products to those who are prepared to pay higher prices. It is already happening, and traditional products destined for the European market, such as calcium ammonium nitrate, are being diverted to Brazil. So, monitoring and responding to global trends will provide British farmers with a better guarantee that their business will survive and prosper.”

URALCHEM is using its traditional participation in the leading technical event for the UK arable industry, Cereals 2013, to present SOLAR, its new line of water-soluble fertilizers, to the British and Irish markets. The exhibition will also mark the beginning of a large-scale, year long promotion campaign for URALCHEM’s sulphur containing fertilizer NS 30:7.

Lincoln, UK (June 12, 2013) — URALCHEM, the second largest ammonium nitrate producer in the world is using its traditional participation in the leading technical event for the UK arable industry, Cereals 2013, to present SOLAR, its new line of water-soluble fertilizers, to the British and Irish markets. The exhibition will also mark the beginning of a large-scale, year long promotion campaign for URALCHEM’s sulphur containing fertilizer NS 30:7.

True to its strategy of developing tailored products that meet the demands of UK market, URALCHEM is now offering its new line of 100% water-soluble fertilizers, SOLAR. Currently, the product portfolio includes potassium nitrate NK 13:46, monoammonium phosphate NP 12:61 and calcium nitrate Ca(NO3)2.With guaranteed high chemical purity, environmental friendliness and high quality, these products support a wide range of applications; they are suitable for drip watering, foliar fertilization of plants, root fertilization of seedlings, fertilizing potted ornamental plants, flowers, lawns, soccer fields and other applications. The physiologically balanced content of nutrients ensures proper feeding of plants. URALCHEM’s SOLAR fertilizers also help to extend the service life of drip irrigation systems because no insoluble mineral salt deposits are formed in drippers and pipelines.

“We are sure that our SOLAR fertilizers will add value in our supply chain and help to cement relationships with on-farm customers. Being able to offer a wider range of grades means that we can respond to the results of soil analyses more precisely with in-house products. This helps to improve crop quality and volumes through better balanced plant nutrition, thus improving on-farm economic outcomes. Furthermore, the company’s product range suits both farmers and distributors alike. We are pleased to say that different grades from the SOLAR product line can be mixed to prepare solutions with predetermined proportions of nutrients,” said URALCHEM’s Business Development Director, Mikhail Genkin.

URALCHEM is also using Cereals 2013 to launch a promotion campaign for NS 30:7 in the United Kingdom. The company presented this product at the last Cereals exhibition in 2012. Since then NS 30:7 has proved very popular worldwide as an excellent source of combined nitrogen and sulphur nutrition.

Within the framework of a new large scale campaign, URALCHEM’s specialists will hold a number of seminars with potential customers in all key regions of the UK. Together with representatives of leading machinery manufacturers, they will carry out dispersion tests and lay a number of test fields. The programme will also include a large-scale media campaign.

Mikhail Genkin commented, “As well as being consumers of URALCHEM’s standard mass usage products, the United Kingdom and Ireland remain key markets for the company’s complex fertilisers. The UK’s long tradition of using fertilizers to increase crops and its high level of agricultural sophistication has created stringent criteria for the quality and effectiveness of products on the market. Using special fertilizer grades with an appropriate ratio of nutrients is becoming essential to ensure the continued improvement of crop yield. That’s why we are interested in bringing here our most state-of-the-art and market-tailored products, and we are prepared to reach out to each farmer showing the advantages of these fertilizers.”

The SOLAR product line and NS 30:7 will be presented at the company’s stand 8-H-830.

Visitors will also be able to see URALCHEM’s other products that the company has been successfully supplying to the UK and Ireland since 2008.

URALCHEM Presents its New Sulphur Containing Fertilizer NS 30:7 at Cereals 2012

June 14, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

URALCHEM, the second largest ammonium nitrate producer in the world, is again exhibiting at Cereals, the largest agricultural event in the United Kingdom.

Boothby Graffoe, UK (June 14, 2012) — URALCHEM, the second largest ammonium nitrate producer in the world, is again exhibiting at Cereals, the largest agricultural event in the United Kingdom. This year URALCHEM is presenting to the British market its new nitrogen-sulphur fertilizer, nitrogen sulphate NS 30:7 (17.5 SO3), which has been developed within the company’s sulphur containing product range. The unique production technology used in its manufacture has enabled the creation of a product with excellent physical and chemical properties.

The new fertilizer has been specifically designed to meet the requirements of the crops in the UK, taking into account the specific characteristics of the soil here. The ratio of the two nutrient elements is perfectly balanced for these purposes, with 30% of nitrogen and no less than 7% of sulphur (17.5 SO3). The sulphur in the form of water-soluble sulphate within the new product is fully available for plants.

The results of trials that URALCHEM carried out under different soil and climatic conditions have proved the effectiveness of its sulphur containing nitrogen based fertilizers.

In Great Britain the trials were carried out in collaboration with Harper Adams University College. On the basis of forage grass (pastures), the agricultural effectiveness of URALCHEM’s NS-line fertilizers has been determined in comparison with commercially available ammonium nitrate, CAN, as well as nitrogen sulphate NS 26:13 and NS 27:4. The trials proved that the influence of URALCHEM’s products on yield of forage grass was up to 57% higher than that of the existing fertilizers it was compared with.

“As a member of The Sulphur Institute URALCHEM has long recognized the global problem of soil-based sulphur deficit and it is continually expanding its sulphur containing product line. The UK is one of the leading European nations in terms of environmental protection. Ironically, the effective environmental policies have caused a noticeable reduction of sulphur emission into the atmosphere, which, in its turn, has resulted in harvest yield reduction of important agricultural crops over the last 10 years. Thus, field experiments show that yield losses due to sulphur deficiency in this country can be up to 70% in oilseed rape and up to 50% in cereals”, – said Mikhail Genkin, Business Development Director, URALCHEM. “The company’s researchers are sure that added sulphur components at the market-tailored ratio, along with the overall characteristics of our new product, will help British farmers to significantly increase their crop yields.”

Like other NS-line fertilizers produced by URALCHEM, the new NS 30:7 has excellent storage and spreading characteristics due to superb granule strength and granulometric composition.

URALCHEM expects NS 30:7 to become one of its most successful products in the UK market. The first sales are planned for the summer of this year.

So far, the main groups of fertilizers supplied by URALCHEM to the UK market have been stabilized ammonium nitrate and NPKs. Great Britain and Ireland remain key markets for the company’s complex fertilizers.
