Take control ...

Against a background of great change, it is even more important to take control where we can to deliver impressive results, whatever the weather or the politics!

... of micronutrient deficiencies

Supply your crops with exactly the right micronutrients where and when they are needed and prevent yield losses or quality reduction due to deficiencies.

... of your nutrient application

Ensure an even application of all nutrients by using a compound fertiliser rather than risk segregation and uneven distribution when using a blend

... of grassland sulphur

Proactive sulphur management on grassland, using a little and often approach to application, will ensure maximum nitrogen use efficiency.

... of grass nutrition

Prevention is often better than cure. By preventing issues such as a lack of selenium, you’ll avoid the costly effects of reduced productivity and costly vet bills.

... of sulphur levels

Proactive sulphur management, with a little and often approach to application, will ensure maximum nitrogen use efficiency.

... of your silage

Don't risk compromising the yield or quality of your silage by cutting corners with your fertiliser programme. Like any crop, grass needs balanced nutrition.

Do you need help choosing the right fertiliser ?

How much is not spreading sulphur costing you ?

Many farming practices are rooted in tradition, not least buying fertiliser. But if not spreading sulphur on grassland is costing you over £100/ha should this practice continue ?

Are your potatoes getting enough calcium?

Calcium is a vital nutrient for potatoes and most aspects of tuber quality can be improved by having a sufficient supply of calcium during growth.

Boron deficiencies in cereals shouldn’t be overlooked

Boron is generally an overlooked micronutrient and it is often wrongly assumed to be less important for cereals than for brassicas which have the highest boron requirement.

Micronutrients - an important component of spring nutrition

With spring nitrogen and sulphur going onto cereals and oilseed rape on most farms at present dont forget about micronutrients at this time too.

Spring nutrition influences straw strength

Deficiency of potassium, manganese or copper during stem extension will lead to weaker stems and increase the risk of lodging later in the season.

Spring fertiliser increases yield

Spring applications of some fertilisers have been shown to produce increases in cereal yields. Here are eight agronomic reasons why you should apply phosphate and potash in the spring rather than in the autumn
