Decreasing eutrophication

TIMAC AGRO's solutions to protect water

Eutrophication is a hidden threat that’s quietly transforming our natural landscapes, both on land and in water.

The effects of eutrophication

This process, driven by the buildup of excess nutrients and minerals, sets off a chain reaction—triggering harmful algal blooms, suffocating aquatic life through anoxic events, and fostering the growth of invasive plants. The damage not only affects the environment, but also has a significant economic impact, driving up the cost of water purification, slashing fish and wildlife populations, and spoiling once-thriving recreational areas.

TIMAC AGRO is at the forefront of addressing this topic : our innovative, on-demand fertilizer technologies are designed to prevent the excess release of Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) into the environment, thereby mitigating the risk of eutrophication. 

The benefits of TIMAC AGRO solutions

Our solutions ensure efficient nutrient uptake and increase nutrient assimilation. These technologies help to reduce the risk of soil loss by optimising nutrient uptake by plants. They limit the leaching of nutrients, thereby reducing their dispersion in the environment. By promoting better assimilation of nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur, these solutions not only improve crop health, but also reduce the environmental impact of agriculture. They play a key role in preserving natural resources and combating eutrophication.

The fight against eutrophication is a collaborative effort involving various esteemed institutions and research centers, and TIMAC AGRO works closely with these partners to innovate and implement effective solutions.

Together, these organizations strive to develop and promote practices that decrease the eutrophication of water, ensuring a healthier environment and sustainable future.

These actions are part of Groupe Roullier CSR commitments to make our products more sustainable and contribute to fighting climate change.
