EuroChem showcases technologies for sugarcane and soybean at Coplacampo 2025

Date:03-07-2025

One of the global leaders in plant nutrition, EuroChem highlighted new technologies for sugarcane and soybean at Coplacampo 2025, an event held in the city of Piracicaba, in the Brazilian state of São Paulo. Organized by the Coplacana cooperative, the event is aimed at farmers and cooperatives.

EuroChem's main highlight at Coplacampo 2025 is Fertiva, described by the manufacturer as "a complete nutritional solution." The technology presented at the fair contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, magnesium, boron, and zinc.

According to EuroChem's Market Development Manager, Gabriele da Silva Oliveira, the product is "ideal for sugarcane cultivation and post-harvest fertilization, a time when ratoon cane has a greater demand for these inputs. Our technology provides balanced nutrition and uniform development for sugarcane."

Another highlight from EuroChem at the fair is Avigo, specially formulated for tropical soils with phosphates and potassium. According to the manufacturer, the product promotes "more robust rooting, which results in greater nutrient absorption and, consequently, significant gains in productivity and operational efficiency in the field."

Croplex, meanwhile, is a balanced phosphate fertilizer with sulfur in readily available and slow-release forms. Its formulation ensures vigorous plant start-up, as well as offering logistical and operational advantages to the farmer.

"At EuroChem, products are developed to meet the real needs of the field, providing consistent results under different soil, climate, and crop conditions," concludes Gabriele.

In addition to showcasing the Fertiva, Avigo, and Croplex products, another highlight of the company at the fair is a project that combines science and field reality, developed in partnership with USP/Esalq (Luiz de Queiroz School of Agriculture). The initiative uses rhizotrons – cylindrical glass structures – that allow observation of sugarcane development as a whole, under different nutritional conditions.

According to EuroChem's Market Development Manager, in the rhizotrons, it was possible to visualize how the lack of certain nutrients affects the development of roots, shoots, and stalks, compared to plants that receive complete nutrition. "In this experiment, each rhizotron will have a plant immersed in a solution with the absence of one nutrient. And this demonstration, in addition to highlighting aspects of nutrient deficiency, will show the potential of our Fertiva product, which contains seven nutrients in a single granule," she explains.
