The 13th ANDA Brazilian Fertilizer Congress, held on August 25, 2026, brought together industry leaders, specialists, and companies to discuss the developments transforming the fertilizer industry. In a market increasingly driven by efficiency, innovation, competitiveness, and sustainability, the event became an important forum for connecting technical knowledge with the real needs of the value chain.

For Adfert, being part of this environment means more than simply following industry discussions. It is an opportunity to showcase knowledge, technology, and solutions developed in response to the challenges faced by the industry. And it was within this context that a new technology gained prominence: PhosProtec, developed to address one of the major challenges of phosphate fertilization: increasing the utilization potential of applied phosphorus.

When applying more does not mean utilizing more

Phosphorus plays an essential role in crop development, but its dynamics in tropical soils create a significant challenge for fertilization efficiency. Part of the applied nutrient may become retained in the soil, reducing its availability in forms that plants can absorb and utilize.

At this point, the discussion is no longer only about the amount applied, but also about technology. If part of the phosphorus can become fixed after application, improving efficiency means finding ways to preserve its availability and enable the fertilizer to deliver greater utilization potential.

This is where PhosProtec comes in

Developed by Adfert, PhosProtec was created specifically to address this challenge. The technology combines humic acids and PhosComplex in a synergistic system that forms an organic complexing barrier around the granule. This barrier helps reduce phosphorus fixation in the soil and extend its availability in forms that can be assimilated by plants.

More than a new additive, the concept is to incorporate intelligence into fertilizer formulation. PhosProtec connects a well-known challenge in phosphate fertilization with a technology developed to preserve the nutrient’s potential, creating a solution that adds value to the fertilizer from the formulation stage onward.

Technology that turns protection into efficiency

The performance of PhosProtec is based on three main benefits:

• Phosphorus protection: helps reduce phosphorus fixation in the soil;
• Greater efficiency: supports better fertilizer utilization and enhances its performance;
• Flexibility: can be used in different formulations without changing their physical characteristics.

Adfert’s technical material also presents phosphorus availability results over 30, 60, and 90 days in evaluations conducted with MAP, reinforcing the technology’s objective of extending the presence of the nutrient in available forms.

From innovation to value for the industry

The relevance of PhosProtec lies precisely in transforming an agronomic need into an opportunity for the fertilizer industry. By helping reduce phosphorus fixation, the technology adds a new layer of efficiency to fertilizer formulations and creates a value proposition that goes beyond simply supplying the nutrient.

This is the principle guiding Adfert’s development efforts: transforming technical knowledge and innovation into practical solutions for market challenges. In the case of PhosProtec, this means helping fertilizers achieve greater utilization potential, greater efficiency, and higher added value. The technology’s own technical material positions the solution at the intersection of innovation, sustainability, and efficiency.

A new potential for phosphate fertilization

The presentation of PhosProtec within the context of ANDA 2026 marks the beginning of a new stage for the technology. Now that it has reached the market, the next challenge is to expand awareness of a solution developed to address an issue that remains highly relevant to fertilizer efficiency.

For Adfert, this movement reinforces its positioning as a company committed to transforming industry challenges into technological solutions. For the market, it introduces a new possibility: better phosphorus protection to better utilize its potential.

Conclusion

Phosphorus remains essential. The challenge is ensuring that the applied nutrient remains available and can perform its role more effectively.

It is precisely within this gap that PhosProtec operates. Developed by Adfert, the system combines technology and technical expertise to reduce phosphorus fixation and extend its availability, taking the discussion around phosphate efficiency to a new level.

PhosProtec: greater potential for phosphorus.
