After its start in 2014, AgroTech USA has been working to find efficiencies for farmers. Co-founder James Paterson says the company is focused on phosphorus deficiency. Higher Ph soils can mean phosphorus is less available to plants. “You may only be recovering from a single season application, maybe 10-to-20 percent of the phosphorus being available to the plant, the remainder fixes into the soil.” AgroTech USA has developed chemistry that will allow greater return on input investment. Research has shown an 8.5 bushel increase per acre on corn. “Even on the low end of $4 corn, you’re still looking at over $30 an acre return on a small initial investment.” Hear the full interview with James Paterson here.
