Castanea, a member of the chestnut family, grows in mountainous regions. It is a wholesome food that has many uses. Farmers in Fu Jian Province have been growing this crop as a substitute for many of the more common cereal crops because the availability of flat land in the region is sparse. RLF Technicians recently developed a scientifically based crop nutrition program for this crop and the signs have been particularly encouraging. Read about the outcomes here.

The BETTER CROP project is an integrated crop fertiliser plan devised by the RLF Technical Group based on hundreds of trials and experiments conducted on a variety of crops in China. Its aim is to help farmers from seed to yield by embracing a complete fertiliser management approach. We follow the success of a pepper grower who experienced significant economic benefit by using a crop nutrition program using RLF Fruits & Veggies Plus and PowerPK.  View it here.

Following last week’s feature publication of wheat crop successes, we now follow up with a further three grower experiences.  Each of the growers used a donated package of Broadacre Plus and PowerPK to help increase quality and yield potential as a means of support through the COVID-19 pandemic.  They were all applied with UAV (airplane delivery).  You can view them here.

In an effort to support growers during the COVID-19 pandemic, RLF, through the 191 platform, donated 400 packages of crop nutrition products Fruits and veggies plus and PowerPK to wheat and rice growers in Hubei, Zhejiang, Anhui, Henan and other provinces for free.  This helped those farmers struggling to achieve high-yield and high-quality field crops. Considerable favourable feedback from the farmers was received and you can read of their outcomes here It makes interesting viewing.

RLF recently participated in the China International Special Fertilizer Development Conference (CIS), held at the Intercontinental Hotel, Chengdu Global Center. It presented and exhibited its brand YOURAN, a series of twelve (12) specialty liquid fertilisers for targeted crop nutrition. RLF’s contribution was enjoyed and it attracted the attention of a large number of participants as well as the multimedia. Here is a snapshot of the prestigious event.

Raoyang County is known for its greenhouse grape growing excellence. This growing region produces the first grapes to market each year and each year they are eagerly awaited by consumers.  Recently RLF’s Tech Team conducted a return visit to the participants of an evaluation program using RLF colour-changing product PowerPK, and many grape growers shared their stories, and provided feedback of their improvements such as increased sugar content, well-distributed colour change and early listing for sale after applying the RLF specialised nutrition product.  Here is a selection of their stories – you can view them here.

This is her story and you can see how it unfolded – read about it here.

During March 2020, many farmers in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province foliar sprayed their wheat crops with RLF Ultra Foliar Broadacre Plus using the mechanism of UAV in an effort to rejuvenate their crops.
