Transferring technology from TVA's National Fertilizer Development Center

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5658339

The Tennessee Valley Authority's National Fertilizer Development Center at Muscle Shoals, Alabama, is a research complex supplying much of the world's technology for creating, producing, and introducing new fertilizers. The Center achieves its goals by using the multidisciplinary approach. It relies on cooperative programs with universities and the fertilizer industry to give direction to NFDC research and to help in transferring new technology to those needing it most. These programs - plus royalty free, nonexclusive patents on new fertilizer processes - guarantee rapid and widespread adoption. As a result, the NFDC has improved productivity of American agriculture by increasing the efficiency and profits of farmers and of fertilizer dealers and manufacturers.
