Triplex, a cutting-edge crop nutrition technology, has been recognised as Overall Innovation of the Year with the prestigious IAgrE Ivel Award at the LAMMA Innovation Awards.
The Insitution of Agricultural Engineers (IAgrE) make the award annually to the best new product or environmental innovation at LAMMA.
The new technology was launched at the show by Agro-Vital and offers another way for farmers to manage fertiliser applications.
Andrew Sincock, Managing Director of Agro-Vital, says: “Receiving the IAgrE Ivel award at LAMMA has truly been an unexpected and humbling moment.
“To have our work recognised in this way is a testament to the dedication and passion of the team behind Triplex.”
He explains that Triplex is designed to deliver precise, sustainable, and tailored nutrient applications based on farm-specific data, ensuring crops receive exactly what they need for optimum productivity.
“With increasing pressure on farmers to balance environmental accountability with crop performance, nutrition must be approached differently,” he says.
“Triplex is designed to address these challenges, providing farmers with a rapid, effective, and sustainable solution.
“By delivering nutrients at the right time and in the right place, it will help farmers maximise their crop yields while reducing waste and environmental impact.”
The Triplex system was developed in the Netherlands through extensive research and collaboration between Agro-Vital’s team of agronomists, engineers, and data scientists.
The machine works by feeding in soil or sap analysis data from individual farms, allowing it to create bespoke, adaptable nutrition products that are tailored to specific crop needs and field conditions.
Mr Sincock explains that one of the key benefits of Triplex is its rapid turnaround time.
“Once the farm-specific data is analysed, the system can create a tailored fertiliser programme in as little as 48 hours, allowing farmers to act quickly and efficiently.
“These bespoke foliar fertiliser products are then delivered on farm in IBC containers, ready to be applied.
“The speed of implementation is crucial, especially during key planting or growing periods, when timely nutrient applications can make a significant difference to crop performance,” he says.
There has already been rapid adoption of the technology in The Netherlands following successful pilot trials, with promising results from early UK trials conducted ahead of the 2026 season.
