The Chief of Landcare Research says that the effectiveness of fertilizers needs to double in the coming 15 years if New Zealand agriculture is to remain globally gung ho.
Dr. Warren Parker says that New Zealand fields need increased amounts of nutrients to meet up with worldwide food demands.
He says that the farming industry should mull over that from where it will obtain those additional nutrients and how it can utilize them in an ecologically conscientious way.
Dr. Parker says that stores of potassium and phosphate that are presently utilized to fertilize fields are liable to become inadequate over the next 20 years.
He thinks that by doubling the efficiency of how they are used at present can be the solution for the upcoming time.
It's an intimidating job and they must be reasonable and effectual.
Dr. Parker remarks that science has experienced tough challenges such as this in the past, and a communal approach by the whole agriculture industry should guarantee its success now.
