IntraCrop team strengthen agronomic expertise with FACTS
IntraCrop team members Emily Way and Michael Noonan have successfully achieved their FACTS qualification. This impressive achievement will strengthen the company’s ability to support growers with informed, practical nutrient management advice.
The Fertiliser Advisers Certification and Training Scheme (FACTS) is the industry-recognised standard for individuals advising on fertiliser use and nutrient management. The qualification builds on existing agronomic knowledge and demonstrates a significant level of competence in delivering recommendations that are economically and environmentally sound.
Widely regarded as a natural progression from BASIS, the FACTS qualification focuses on the principles of plant nutrition, soil health and fertiliser planning, equipping advisers with the expertise needed to optimise crop performance while supporting sustainable farming practices.
For IntraCrop, continued professional development is central to ensuring customers receive the highest level of technical support.
By achieving FACTS, both Emily and Michael have strengthened their ability to provide detailed nutrient management guidance and support fertiliser planning. Both are now even better placed to advise on best practice in line with current environmental and regulatory requirements. This is particularly relevant in the current climate as growers face increasing pressure to improve nutrient use efficiency while maintaining productivity.
Emily Way said, “Completing the FACTS qualification has given me a deeper understanding of how nutrient management decisions impact crop performance in real-world conditions. It means I can better support growers in making informed decisions around fertiliser use, making sure that their inputs are used as efficiently as possible while maintaining crop health and yield.”
Michael added, “The FACTS qualification builds on our existing agronomic knowledge and allows us to provide more detailed, practical advice to customers. With increasing focus on nutrient use efficiency and sustainability, being able to support growers with tailored nutrient strategies is more important than ever.”
With expertise spanning crop physiology, biostimulant technologies and nutrient management, the team is well positioned to support growers in navigating increasingly complex agronomic challenges.
As the industry continues to evolve, IntraCrop will continue to invest in its people to be certain that it is combining strong scientific understanding with practical field application, ensuring that growers can maximise both crop performance and return on investment.
