Crop micronutrients are critical nutrients that plants need to develop and perform other metabolic functions. They help to improve quality, color, taste, fertilizer efficiency, disease resistance, water use, and other factors.

New York, July 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Global Crop Micronutrients Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Form, By Application, By Crop Type, By Type, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2022 2028" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06289226/?utm_source=GNW These micronutrients also help in the creation of big and strong roots, as well as the formation of full proteins and chemicals and improved plant immunity. The crop micronutrients market is being driven by factors such as the efficacy of micronutrients for crop production and productivity, growing awareness among growers about the advantages of micronutrients, and shrinking agricultural land. Additionally, developing soil inadequacies in cultivated lands can be attributed to the increased demand for crop micronutrients. Crop micronutrients also help crops to be more resistant to disease.

Growing public awareness about food security, as well as rising occurrences of micronutrient deficiencies in soils around the world, are likely to drive market expansion over the forecast period. Rising investment by key participants in new product launches is projected to enhance industry sales even more.

Iron application has been linked to good yields, economic returns, and iron concentration in mungbean. Biofortification is a popular trend in the agricultural micronutrient industry, and it aids in the integration of nutrients into food crops. This method is gaining popularity as a cost-effective and sustainable strategy to boost mineral concentration in staple crops like mungbean. Increased iron levels in mungbean are bringing in more money for farmers and enhancing manufacturers credibility in the agricultural micronutrient market. Manufacturers are increasing their iron compound production capacities because women and pre-school children are the most vulnerable to micronutrient deficiency.

COVID-19 Impact

Fertilizer application to crops is influenced by soil type, soil fertility levels among soil types, accessible nutrients ratios, type of crop, and weather conditions. The influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on soil fertility is due to human activity, such as farmers failure to apply fertilizer on time. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a pressing need to expand existing measures to improve agricultural input use efficiency, particularly fertilizer, by implementing innovations like sensor and satellite technologies.

Market Growth Factors

Rising deficiency of micronutrients in soil

Crop micronutrients can be found in low concentrations in plants, and their deficiencies can cause crop diseases. Micronutrient shortages and imbalances are occurring in soils all around the world, and the main causes include temperature, humidity, and soil pH. The accessibility of micronutrients in the soil is reduced as the pH of the soil is raised. To alleviate the shortages, governmental and non-governmental organizations are emphasizing mineral fertilization measures. As per the FAO, countries like China, the United States, and India consume roughly half of all mineral fertilizer nutrients. Many countries have achieved national food sufficiency, nonetheless, there is always a need to feed people with nutrient-rich food by improving agriculture practices.

Increasing development in the biodegradable chelates

Owing to the different known risks of non-biodegradable chelating agents, the market is increasingly focusing on the creation of biodegradable chelates. In place of non-biodegradable agents, NTA, EDDS, and ITS are the most recently produced and extensively utilized agents on the market. These are mostly utilized for goals like removing metals that can harm plant and soil health, as well as preventing harmful metals from precipitating into the soil. Growers in the region are gradually transitioning away from commodity fertilizers and toward specialty fertilizers such as coated and encapsulated fertilizers, chelated fertilizers, and slow release fertilizers.

Market Restraining Factors

Availability of various organic fertilizers

The trend in food consumption in industrialized countries is mostly changing toward better meals derived from healthy and safe sources. As a result, consumers are becoming more conscious of the commercialization of agriculture and the widespread use of chemical and synthetic fertilizers, both of which have the potential to harm human health. Due to this, in countries where food production outnumbers consumption, people are more concerned about the quality of their food. Organic fertilizers are witnessing huge demand, particularly in developed regions, with key markets including the United States, Germany, and France. As a result of the rising organic fertilizers, organic food production would rise in the coming years.

Form Outlook

Based on Form, the market is segmented into Chelated and Non-Chelated. The non-chelated segment garnered a significant revenue share in the crop micronutrients in 2021. It is owing to the expansion of the agriculture sector across various nations. These non-chelated micronutrients are as useful as chelated forms since they provide boron, zinc, copper, and other elements to plants.

Application Outlook

Based on Application, the market is segmented into Soil, Foliar, Fertigation, and Others. The soil application segment procured the maximum revenue share in the crop micronutrients market in 2021. The soil mode of application is a popular method for applying micronutrients in agriculture. This portion enables for equal distribution of micronutrients to plants using traditional fertilizer application equipment. Because of the various factors, soil mode of application is extensively employed in agriculture, and this segment is predicted to grow in the coming years.

Crop Type Outlook

Based on Crop Type, the market is segmented into Cereals & Grains, Pulses & Oilseeds, Fruits & Vegetables, and Others. The fruits & Vegetable segment procured a significant revenue share in the crop micronutrients market in 2021. It is owing to the rising demand for fruits among the population. The recent trend of rising fruit consumption has coincided with an increase in vegetable and fruit exports, resulting in a rise in the crop plantation area. Micronutrient-rich fruits and vegetables are likely to rise significantly in the next years.

Type Outlook

Based on Type, the market is segmented into Copper, Zinc, Boron, Iron, Manganese, Molybdenum, and Others. The copper segment recorded the highest revenue share in the crop micronutrients market in 2021. Copper-type micronutrients catalyze processes in plants by activating enzymes necessary for protein synthesis. They also aid in the reduction of vitamin A production in plants, which would fuel the segments expansion.

Regional Outlook

Based on Regions, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America, Middle East & Africa. The Asia Pacific emerged as a leading region in the crop micronutrients with the largest revenue share in 2021. It is due to the fact that most crop production is done in this region. The market for crop micronutrients is growing due to the rising demand for high-quality products and changing farming practices. The direct application of micronutrients for the treatment of plant shortages would bolster the industrys need even further.

The Global Crop Micronutrients Market size is expected to reach $8.7 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 7.5% CAGR during the forecast...

BROOMFIELD, Colo., July 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- How would you like to live forever? Maybe you'd like to be stronger, faster, and more agile while on this journey of immortality. If so, plants might be able to help you get there! Here's some steps on how plants can help you reach your goals from Backyard Farming Supply.

Solutions where you might not expectWhile no, you obviously can't live forever, consuming certain organically grown foods may be able to help you live a healthier life and cut your chances of contracting serious illnesses, like cancer. With all these health benefits, it seems like getting some organic produce into your diet isn't just another craze it's a way to protect yourself against disease and illness. If you're worried about where to start, start with what's most available in your area. Apples are always abundant in fall, so they're an easy place to start adding more fruit into your diet. Eating plant-based dishes is also a great option that many people don't take advantage of but are happy when they do.

Longevity is better understood in insectsBy better understanding insect longevity, scientists hope to unlock insights into extending human life. For example, some genetic components have been discovered that extend lifespan by up to 50 percent in some species. Some research points to plants being responsible for extended life spans in insects such as fruit fliesbut whether similar plant compounds can slow aging in humans.

A plant-based diet extends lifeNew studies show that a plant-based diet can extend life by giving animals better heart health and even helping repair DNA. Specifically, there's evidence that animal-based fats (found in red meat) have a negative effect on our heart health and DNA when consumed in large quantities. In contrast, plant-based fats (found in nuts, seeds, avocados, and coconut oil) do not appear to damage our hearts or DNA. One study at Harvard University compared two groups of subjects, one with a vegan diet and one with an omnivorous diet. The study found that those who were vegan had lower blood pressure, cholesterol levels, body weight, and risk of diabetes than those who followed an omnivorous diet.

Additionally, a separate study found that following a plant-based lifestyle may also slow down the effects of aging in cellscausing them to function like they were much younger! Scientists believe this may be due to the plants' antioxidant qualities, which reduce cell damage over time. These results suggest we should rethink how we treat cardiovascular disease and diabetes as more people choose vegetarian diets over their carnivorous counterparts.

The Search for the Fountain of Youth: Can Plants Make You Live Forever? - PR Newswire

The history of fertilization, which humans have been using since the dawn of agriculture, has taken a new step forward thanks to Tebrio with the launch of the first fertilizer of entomological origin registered in Europe. "Adriana Casillas, CEO of Tebrio, and Sabas de Diego, CTO of the company, came up with the idea in 2012, motivated by their wish to provide the agri-food sector with a sustainable and quality solution and help the planet by addressing the growing demand for food and fertilizers in an environmentally-friendly way," says Miguel ngel lvarez.

Miguel ngel lvarez del Real.

The result of this initiative was :oFrass, a biofertilizer suitable for organic agriculture made 100% from Tenebrio molitor, and produced under an interesting circular production model with negative CO balance that maximizes the yield in the production of the insect in its different stages. "In order to feed the Tenebrio molitor we use by-products from the food industry, and the insects can be used at every stage. When the Tenebrio molitor is in the larval stage, we obtain fertilizer from its droppings. At the end of its larval stage, we obtain high-quality flour with a high protein content that we use for animal feed production, and from the adult beetle we obtain chitosan, a raw material of high value for industrial uses, including the manufacture of biofilms."

However, the versatility of this insect, commonly known as a mealworm, does not stop there. The European Commission itself has even endorsed its use in food by including it in the Union's list of novel foods since last year. "Also, the Tenebrio molitor does not produce any methane or greenhouse gases," says Miguel ngel, "which makes it very different from other agricultural products, and :oFrass guarantees the total absence of heavy metals, pathogens or seeds in the product."

:oFrass is marketed in powder form or pressed into pellets, two formats that facilitate its application, depending on the farmer's needs.

"oFrass improves the capacity of plants to absorb nutrients from the soil thanks to its low carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, and aids in the fixation of environmental nitrogen and the solubilization of phosphorus and potassium. It makes a great contribution of organic matter to the soil, as well as of essential macronutrients (NPK) and micronutrients. Also, given the product's microorganism content, it provides a high amount of superpotent and beneficial bacteria for plants."

"Moreover, it has biostimulant effects due to the production of plant phytohormones, which allows plants to better respond to abiotic stress factors, such as frost, salinity or extreme pH."

"It also has biofortifying properties. One of the keys is that each Tenebrio molitor dejection comes wrapped in a chitin sheath. This molecule activates the induced systemic resistance of plants; that is, it makes the plant activate different metabolic pathways to defend itself against pests and diseases, allowing us to space out pesticide applications and achieve a more resilient plant."

"With :oFrass we are focusing on horticultural crops, obtaining very good results. With woody crops we are also conducting successful tests, and we are currently introducing it in strawberry cultivation; in fact, we are going to start several trials with producing companies in Huelva."

o:Frass trial on melons: crop comparison with and without the Tebrio solution on April 25 (top left photo), after the first harvest (top right photo) and after the second harvest (bottom photo).

New production plant in SalamancaIn the ten years since coming up with the idea of this initiative, Tebrio has followed a successful path that will be completed in 2024 with the completion of the company's new industrial complex, with which it plans to multiply its production capacity.

"In 2016, we built the first insect plant approved for feed in the EU. Just one year later, in 2017, we were the first company in the world to obtain market approval for :oFrass. It is also important to note that we are registered as a fertilizer breeder plant."

"In 2020, the backing of investors Criteria Caixa and CDTI to Tebrio gave the firm a very strong boost and we are currently building our new facilities for the manufacture of insect products in Doinos de Salamanca, which will be fully completed in 2024. 70 million Euro have been invested and it will have 70,000 m devoted to the breeding of Tenebrio molitor, with a production capacity of 100,000 tons of insect products per year," says Miguel ngel lvarez.

Future new Tebrio facilities.

Organic Tea Market Size, Scope and Forecast | Associated British Foods plc., Celestial Seasonings Tata Global Beverages Limited, Harney & Sons...

Bulgaria can be a regional leader in producing proteins from insects, but the State needs to be more active in regulating this business.

That conclusion was reached at a round table on the future of foods, initiated by the Association of Producers and Processors of Insects in Bulgaria with support from the Bulgarian Startup Association. Among the participants were Cleantech Bulgaria, the French-Bulgaria Chamber of Commerce, Endeavor Bulgaria, the Black Peak Capital Investment Fund, organic food producers Harmonica and NV3, among others, reports Capital daily.

They agreed that Bulgaria has a huge potential in this sector: it is the only country in the Balkans where the industry of producing alternative proteins from insects already exists and has serious ambitions for future development.

On the EU level, the legislative needs of the sector have largely been taken care of, but the legislation is non-existent in Bulgaria at this stage, and this slows down the sectors development. Ensuring local regulations has been recognized as the top goal of the Association of Producers and Processors of Insects in Bulgaria. They believe that this country can grow to become a regional leader because it is the only one in the Balkans and among the very few in Central and Eastern Europe with an alternative protein industry - the nearest other producer country being Poland.

An increasing number of investor and consumer networks embrace the idea of using alternative proteins, said Rossen Ivanov, managing partner at Black Peak Capital. He said the expectations for the market of alternative and plant proteins is to grow considerably, with close to 80% of the younger generation using at least occasionally such products. The new regulations and climate change will enhance these trends. He said that a logical next step would be the creation of specialized funds for investment in innovative and sustainable foods, similar to the funds in the IT sector.

The looming problems in the global food sector cannot be addressed without a fast introduction of the principles of the circular economy in all business sectors, and Bulgaria is lagging behind in this department, said Dessislava Dimitrova of the Circular Economy Board with the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The round table ended with a plea for pooling the efforts and starting a dialogue between the competent institutions and the companies in the sector of organic farming and alternative proteins (proteins from algae, plant proteins, meat substitutes, insects, and nuclear proteins). The aim is to set up a working group and closer cooperation for supporting innovations in Bulgarian agriculture and the food industry.

Bulgaria: Discussion on innovative food started - hortidaily.com

Shreya buys healthy food to donate to local food banks with the money she fundraised through Nourish America./Courtesy Shreya Shivakumar

Meet Daily Point of Light Award honoree Shreya Shivakumar. Read her story, and nominate an outstanding volunteer or family as a Daily Point of Light.

Like many immigrant families who must build a completely new life in a completely new land, Shreya Shivakumars family often faced financial instability and food insecurity as they worked hard to adjust from their life in India to their new American life in the Washington Heights neighborhood of New York.

As Shreya saw her parents and neighbors struggle to keep food on the table, she didnt feel defeated. Rather, a fire for food equality was lit inside of her. After moving to Edison, New Jersey, in 2012, Shreya started volunteering at food banks, and after quickly realizing that she wanted to do more, she started her own nonprofit organization called Nourish America at age 15.

An estimated 2 million Americans live in poverty with food allergies or Celiac disease, according to Allergic Living. Federal assistance programs such as SNAP do not provide enough financial resources for families to afford gluten-free or allergy-friendly foods, which are often higher in price. Shreya, now a 19-year-old second-year college student, is working to solve this problem by hosting fundraising events and food drives for allergy-friendly foods through Nourish America and donating them to food pantries so people in need can easily access them.

Nourish America is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing allergy-friendly and organic food to communities in need. It was really born out of the idea that giving back and fighting hunger needs to focus more on nourishing the people who need it the most rather than simply feeding. We focus on donating to under-resourced communities all across the U.S., and our donations typically consist of nonperishable, organic, nutrient-dense, healthy foods appropriate for multiple cultures, appropriate for children, for people with other food-related conditions such as diabetes, so that everyone who needs food assistance can receive it.

One of the great privileges of this work is directly interacting with the families that we help and talking to them. They show their gratitude, surprise and happiness once they realize the new options that are available to them. Theyll tell me stories about how their child who is allergic to peanuts can now have sunflower butter or how their elderly parent who cannot have that much sugar now has this lower sugar alternative, so these individual stories of how Nourish America is giving these families a little less to worry about. Im really proud of that.

We typically did food drives partnering with community organizations, but with COVID-19, it became kind of a safety hazard to directly collect food, so we transitioned to online fundraisers. Our biggest fundraising event is a youth-led benefit concert called Notes for Nourish. We had an in-person concert in 2019 that had a great turnout. Many youth musicians volunteered their talents, and we had a great attendance. In the years since COVID-19, 2020 and 2021, we continued to do that same event in a virtual format on YouTube and getting donations from that.

With a combination of fundraising and grants, weve raised about $12,800 so far and donated 4,500 pounds of organic and allergy-friendly foods.

Before Covid, I was volunteering with a refugee assistance nonprofit in New Jersey, mainly tutoring refugee children English and Math on Sundays. When COVID hit, their families suffered financial troubles due to layoffs and just economic turmoil because of the pandemic, so the president of the organization reached out to me to see if our organizations could partner up to provide food assistance to these refugee families. We conducted our first online benefit concert with other youth organizations in our area and raised enough money to provide 400 refugees with weekly donations over a couple of months in the spring of 2020.

Our efforts are typically focused in New York and New Jersey, but recently, weve expanded to Michigan, and this coming year, were going to partner with food banks in Atlanta, Georgia.

I would like people to learn how to give back in a way that stays true to yourself, your roots and your authentic experiences. No one can represent that as accurately as yourself, so I hope that everyone realizes that they have a unique power in their own experience, their background, their lives to make a change in a way that they can only do themselves.

Do you want to make a difference in your community like Shreya? Find local volunteer opportunities.

Organic Pesticides Market to Witness Heightened Revenue Growth During the Forecast Period 2022-2030 - Taiwan News

Modular hydroponic farms are now available through special partnership agreements and are designed to be located anywhere - eliminating fuel costs while boosting food production.

CORONA, Calif., May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Container Technologies, Inc (Ticker: ACTX), announced that its innovative modular hydroponic farms can help farmers lower costs and boost production during these trying times.

According to Fox News, "rising fuel prices are hitting some farmers hard." Additionally, there are unprecedented issues with the supply chain, the pandemic, and now the war in Ukraine, which together have made this a very difficult time to be a farmer - or anyone involved with food production.

ACTX has a way to help. The company's innovative Modular Hydroponic Farms can be located virtually anywhere and provide a smart way to grow organic fruits and vegetables without pesticides, herbicides, or risk of contamination. Additionally, the farms require no fuel for tractors or other heavy equipment, and produce more crops with less water per acre than traditional farming.

We Grow 4U

The company also announced a new partnership program that allows farmers, businesses, organizations, and entrepreneurs the ability to own the production, but have the actual growing done by ACTX.

"Even though our systems are automated and easy to operate, many people simply don't want to get their hands dirty (which actually doesn't happen with a hydroponic system) and find it easier to let us do all the work," said Doug Heldoorn, CEO of Advanced Container Technologies. "Through these partnerships, we do the growing and you own the crop."

Financing is also available, with an astonishingly rapid ROI.

According to the Chicago Sun Times, access to affordable, healthy food is a significant problem impacting 40 million Americans. Large numbers of people live in food deserts, "which contributes to higher diabetes and heart disease rates, increased poverty and lower educational outcomes."

Modular Hydroponic Farms can help solve this problem by giving community groups the ability to grow organic food locally, where it is most needed.

"Food must be protected and prioritized as a human right," Heldoorn said. "Governments, the private sector, entrepreneurs, schools, community groups, farmers, foundations and even grocery stores should be prioritizing the deployment of portable farming systems to drive the shift toward a more sustainable, resilient global food system."

The Modular Farm can be set up in a matter of days, and is much less labor-intensive than traditional farming. Automation software controls the environment, nutrition and hydration levels; and enables farmers to remotely monitor the conditions.

The cost of everything from fuel to food seems to be rising around the world. So, growing our own food is a good way to save money.

However, the cost of gardening materials has also been rising.

Plant expert Jessica Damiano writes about gardening for the Associated Press. In her latest story, she writes about saving money on fertilizer. She suggests that home gardeners make their own.

All plants require nutrients. Necessary nutrients exist naturally in most soils. But over time, they get used up. So, nutrients need to be added to the soil from time to time for plants to produce fruits and vegetables for our meals.

This is where fertilizers come in.

Most fertilizers contain three primary nutrients: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. (This is often represented by the N-P-K ratio on fertilizer containers.) Damiano explains how the three work. Nitrogen helps the plant turn its energy into green, leafy growth. Phosphorus helps the development of roots, fruits, and flowers. And potassium helps the plants overall health.

Many fertilizers also have secondary nutrients, like calcium and magnesium. They sometimes have micronutrients such as iron, copper, boron, manganese, and zinc.

All these nutrients are necessary for creating the best growing conditions for a plant.

Here is some good news: There are many ways that home gardeners can save money while providing their plants with high-quality nutrients.

Cut grass

Consider cut grass. If you leave cut grass on the lawn, you may not need fertilizer.

As grass breaks down, it releases nitrogen into the soil. This will help grass to continue to grow. However, Damiano gives this warning: Do not use fresh cut grass in garden beds. It will burn your plants.

Compost is best for soil

Compost, she says, is the best thing you can add to soil.

Compost helps to control how much water stays in the soil. It keeps dry soil wet. It can help thick dirt, or clay, drain water. Compost also adds nutrients to the soil.

Damiano advises to use a lot of compost in plant beds or planting holes. She suggests using compost in place of mulch. (Mulch is placed on top of the soil.)

To make your own compost, simply collect fruit and vegetable scraps. Do not add meat, dairy, or fats. You can keep the food scraps in a bowl in your kitchen. Whenever it fills up, bury the material directly in the garden soil. As the scraps break down, they add nutrients.

Just be sure to bury them at least 25 to 30 centimeters deep. This will keep hungry wildlife from digging them up. And bury the scraps several centimeters from the plants. This will avoid damaging roots.

Fish fertilizer

Many gardeners treat their plants with fish fertilizer. It contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, and sodium, among other nutrients. And it could be costly. So, Damiano suggests burying fish parts deep in the garden soil -- again 25 to 30 centimeters deep.

You can also make your own fish fertilizer by putting fish scraps in a closed container of water -- about 19 liters. Leave it for about a month. Then drain the liquid and use it to water plants. However, do not use processed fish that has added salt. Too much salt can damage the soil and your plants.

Use leftover materials from around your house

Are you someone who fishes? If so, you can use scraps from the fish you catch. If not, your local fish seller, called a fishmonger, might give away or sell at low cost scraps and heads.

Are you a fish owner? Plants can also be helped from used fish-tank water. This water is rich in nitrogen and other nutrients.

Do you cook vegetables in water? If so, save it! The water is filled with vitamins and minerals that could help your garden.

And water from boiled eggs is full of calcium. This is especially useful for tomatoes and peppers. Just make sure to let the water cool to room temperature before using on your plants.

You can even use eggshells instead of buying garden lime. Both are made of calcium carbonate. Dry out the egg shells thoroughly. Then break them up into tiny pieces. Add the small pieces to your gardens soil. The same can be done with banana peels. They are full of potassium and good for plants.
