Mosaic Fertilizers, a producer of combined phosphates and potassium, brings to ExpoForest (9 to 11 August, Guatapará - SP) solutions that contribute to superior performance in quality, productivity and sustainability of planted forests, whose economic and environmental relevance has grown in the country.

Currently, eucalyptus forests occupy an area of ​​5,5 million hectares. Cultivation has become increasingly attractive, due to factors such as high productivity

with lower costs and higher rates of return on investment, in addition to the rapid development of culture and the ability to adapt to different biomes. “There are hundreds of species of eucalyptus, with such diverse properties that they are used for

countless purposes - from furniture making to gift wrapping. Like any other crop, development depends on several factors such as planting location, cultural practices and available inputs”, says Filipe Miranda, Products Manager at

Mosaic Fertilizers

It is common for forestry to occupy former pasture areas in Brazil, which in many cases are degraded. Among the successful management practices applied in the country is investment in restoring soil health, through the provision of adequate nutrients. “Thanks to the extensively adopted good practices, such as soil fertility management, we have seen eucalyptus forests producing more and more in the recovered areas, contributing to Brazil's position as a global reference in sustainable forestry”, highlights Miranda.

During the crop's production cycle, generally seven years, plants remove carbon from the atmosphere and convert it into biomass. “We are talking about aligning productivity, profitability and sustainability in eucalyptus forests. In addition to the economic benefits, factors such as improved air quality, thermal comfort, reduced erosion intensity, increased biodiversity, among others, are recorded.”

Mosaic Fertilizers is a company that develops products and solutions that guarantee plant nutrition, restore and increase plant productivity, contributing to sustainable agricultural production. “We have a wide line of products for crop nutrition, with options for the development and maintenance of the most varied crops. In our Performance line we have solutions such as MicroEssentials and Aspire, which ensure that plantations such as eucalyptus reach their productive potential.”

MicroEssentials is composed of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Sulfur in the same granule. This formulation increases the efficiency of nutrient absorption from the beginning to the end of the planting cycle. Aspire is the only product on the market with Boron availability throughout the cycle, meeting the need at all stages of tree growth, acting from the beginning of seedling development. In both cases, the release of nutrients increases absorption efficiency and allows for stable, uniform tree growth.

Promoting registration reinforces the company's commitment to being increasingly closer to its customers and expanding the benefits offered.
