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

Discover your limiting factors with soil analysis

Everyone knows the importance of taking a soil sample; but should you be investing in more than just basic soil analysis?

Planning spring phosphate applications

Phosphorus is a key nutrient for grass, and its role in energy supply, root growth and tillering makes its availability crucial for grass growth in the spring.
