Kuwait - Barley and Fenugreek Project
Crops: Barley and Fenugreek
Area: Kuwait
Purpose: Water conservation and improved fertiliser efficiency
Soil condition: Poor soil, low organic matter content
Product type and usage: CROPSORB™ 90-100kg/ha; dry application
Effect of use:
①Kuwait has a serious water shortage, 90% of its land area is desert, there is no river in the country, and there is always drought and little rain, which makes it difficult to grow crops, and agricultural and animal husbandry products are mainly imported.
②To combat drought and water scarcity, the Kuwaiti farmer used CROPSORB™ on barley and fenugreek. The results at harvest time showed a yield of 6kg/m2 with the water retainer compared to 3.5kg/m2 without it, an increase in yield of about 71.43%.
According to this customer, the use of CROPSORB™ also improved fertiliser efficiency and irrigation water utilisation, reducing irrigation and fertiliser costs.
