Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE™) Grower Solutions from Verdesian Life Sciences

Alliance Ag & Grain helps farmers with sustainable efficiency and profitability though nutrient use efficiency (NUE) solutions supported by Verdesian Life Sciences. These solutions enhance crop uptake, reduce nutrient losses to the environment and improve yields. 


NUE is a measure of how well plants use available mineral nutrients. With tight margins, high input costs and unpredictable weather patterns, efficiency optimization is absolutely critical. Farmers need to pay close attention to enhancing soil fertilizer efficiency, and focusing on plant uptake and utilization using enhanced efficiency fertilizer (EEF) technologies that improve crop yields and quality by limiting nutrient loss by creating a nutrient use efficiency (NUE) plan.

As a 4Rs Nutrient Stewardship Partner, Verdesian works with Alliance Ag & Grain to invest in science to discover and evolve NUE technologies for farmers. The 4R principles are built into the solutions that help farmers get the essential nutrients into and utilized by the plant as efficiently as possible without having the nutrients tied up in soil or lost to the environment.
