SALINAS, CA - Fertilizer has gotten smarter. Stout Industrial Technology has launched the Stout Smart Rate Fertilizer, a solution set to transform the way commercial farmers approach fertilization. The Stout Smart Rate Fertilizer is now an available implement that can be added to the company’s Smart Cultivator.
“Our goal with the Stout Smart Rate Fertilizer is to provide a tool that not only enhances the efficiency of farming operations but also supports long-term sustainability,” said Ryan Mazzuca, Director of Business Development. “Materials like fertilizer make up more than 50 percent of the overall cultural costs in agricultural production, and we plan to reduce that burden while increasing yield, a win-win for all.”
The cutting-edge technology introduces a smarter, more efficient approach to crop fertilization, focusing on precision, cost effectiveness, and sustainability. What sets the Stout Smart Rate Fertilizer apart is its ability to deliver tailored nutrient application to the needs of individual plants—a concept Stout calls “Farming to the Individual Plant,” according to a press release.
The technology empowers farmers to optimize fertilization practices, ensuring up to 30 percent reduction in material use while driving uniformity across every field. By applying nutrients only where and when they are needed, the Stout Smart Rate Fertilizer helps farmers minimize material use.
