How to increase wheat yield

The two key yield components of wheat are grain numbers per unit area, and the individual grain weight. High yields come from achieving the correct leaf and shoot numbers, maintaining a green leaf canopy, increasing grain numbers/ear and grain size.

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 oilseed micronutrients

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 sulphur and nitrogen

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

Take control of cereal micronutrient deficiencies

... of cereal micronutrients

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

... of your potato nutrition

Making sure your potatoes are fully supplied with all the nutrients they require is the best way to improve crop yield and tuber quality

... with spring phosphate

Switching from autumn to spring phosphate by using a compound fertiliser ensures the crop will have available phosphate when it is most needed.

... 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 grass 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.

... of grassland sulphur

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

... of grass selenium levels

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.

Deficiency prevention is better than cure

When it comes to micronutrients, prevention of a deficiency before crop losses occur is always better than correction after the damage has been done

Fertilisers are remarkable.

Fertilisers take the most natural of basic elements, nitrogen from the air, salts from ancient seas and oceans and phosphate rock from the ground and combine these so plants have essential nutrients to grow healthy crops which can feed the World.

Is blackgrass an issue for you?

Where blackgrass contamination leads to cultural control involving delayed drilling, the crop nutrition strategy should be adapted to help recover the lost yield potential

More effective weed control on autumn reseeds

When getting the sprayer out to control grassland weeds on autumn reseeds, there is an opportunity to add a foliar fertiliser to improve weed control and ensure long term sucess of the new ley.

Make your grassland fertiliser work harder

Nitrogen has always been a good investment for livestock farmers, whether you’re growing grass for grazing or looking to reduce feed costs through better silage management.

Do you really need straight nitrogen

Before ordering your straight nitrogen it is worth considering how much you actually need as it may be you actually need NS or NPKS grades instead.
