When it comes to P & K doing nothing isn't an option

Not applying phosphate and potassium or failing to fully replace the nutrients removed by previous crops is a false economy and will lead to yield losses.

Agronomy Advice - Are micronutrients an integral part of your crop nutrition plan?
Are micronutrients an integral part of your nutrition plan?
Micronutrients should be an integral part of the crop nutrition programme for autumn sown crops, not just to ensure successful establishment but to set the ultimate yield potential of the crop.
What is the value of nitrogen fertiliser
What is the value of nitrogen fertiliser?
The response of crops to nitrogen is both predictable and well established. The optimum rate of nitrogen depends on both the value of the crop being grown and the cost of the nitrogen. However, the value of nitrogen remains high and the return on investment is unquestionable.
Nitrogen use efficiency - how do we improve it
Nitrogen use efficiency - how do we improve it
Nitrogen use efficiency helps to understand the relationships between the total nitrogen input compared to the nitrogen output. This allows improvements to be made resulting in better efficiency, profitability and sustainability.
Have you considered Spring NPKS compound fertilisers?
Have you considered Spring NPKS compound fertilisers?
Spring applications of NPKS fertilisers have consistently outperformed traditional autumn applications of P&K fertilisers in independent trials. So why do so many growers still apply phosphate and potash in the autumn rather than in the spring.
Agronomy Advice - How better nutrition can improve oilseed establishment
How better nutrition can improve oilseed establishment
Nutrition has always been important for good establishment of oilseed rape. Despite the continued decline in oilseed rape in recent years, there is still a significant area sown around the UK so autumn nutrition still has an important part to play.
Why di-ammonium phosphate is not the best choice of phosphate fertiliser
Why DAP is not the best choice of phosphate fertiliser
Phosphorus is considered the second most important nutrient after nitrogen but whilst phosphate availability in soil is influenced by many factors, including pH, it could be that the actual form of phosphate can be one of the greatest influences on crop availability.
Liquid starter fertiliser improves oilseed establishment
Liquid starter fertiliser improves oilseed establishment
Adequate nutrition has always been important for good establishment of oilseed rape and a liquid starter fertiliser helps achieve this.
Fertilising short term leys and forage brassica crops
Fertilising short term leys and forage brassicas
It is important for short term leys and forage brassica crops to get off to a good start and getting the seedbed fertilisation right is a big part of this.
Top tips for making late season silage
Top tips for making late season silage
There are many farmers still intending to make grass silage this year. But, there are a few things that we need to look out for, if we want to make well preserved, palatable silage.

Grow the future | Phosphate and potssium | Agronomists in wheat field
When it comes to P and K doing nothing is not an option
When it comes to P and K doing nothing is not an option. Potassium and phosphate are two essential plant nutrients with the plant requiring a consistent supply from the soil during the critical spring growth period.
Grow the future | Nitrogen and sulphur fertiliser| Agronomists in wheat field
Applying nitrogen and sulphur together just makes sense
Combining nitrogen and sulphur together increases nitrogen use efficiency so means more for your money with less wastage
Grow the future | Compound NPKS fertiliser Agronomists in wheat field
A compound fertiliser is so much better than a blend
When you apply nutrients using a true compound fertiliser you avoid the risk of segregation and uneven distribution that you often get with a blend
Grow the future | Silage fertiliser | Farmer inspecting grass
Avoid compromising your silage with poor nutrition
Don't risk compromising the yield or quality of your silage by cutting corners with your fertiliser programme
Grow the future | Grassland sulphur management | Farmer inspecting grass
Managing grassland sulphur delivers impressive results
Managing grassland sulphur doesn’t need to mean big changes. Simply switching fertilisers can deliver impressive results.
Grow the future | Forage maize foliar nutrition | Farmers watching maize harvest
Paying more attention to forage maize nutrition pays off
Paying more attention to forage maize foliar nutrition, particularly phosphate and zinc will improve crop establishment and early growth resulting in higher yield and better quality forage.
Grow the future | Grassland sulphur management | Farmer inspecting grass
Better nutrition improves potato yield and quality
Making sure your potatoes are fully supplied with all the nutrients they require is the best way to improve crop yield and tuber quality
Grow the future | Spring arable nutrition |
Spring nutrition must keep crop momentum moving
When winter cereals begin spring growth keeping that momentum going should be the main focus of the spring nutrition strategy
Grow the future | Soil testing and tissue analysis
Soil and leaf testing avoids wasting money on fertilisers
The best way to avoid wasting money on fertiliser is through soil testing and tissue analysis and then understanding what the results mean.
Grow the future | Grassland selenium fertilisers | Farmer inspecting grass
Preventing selenium deficiency avoids reduced productivity
Grazing animals have a requirement for selenium so it is important sufficient is present in the grass to meet the animals' needs to prevent selenium deficiency problems.
Grow the future | Cereal micronutrients | Agronomists in wheat field
Cereal micronutrients can prevent yield losses
If you supply your cereal crops with exactly the right micronutrients where and when they are needed this will prevent yield losses or quality reduction due to deficiencies.
Grow the future | Oilseed micronutrients | Agronomist and farmer in oilseed field
Oilseed micronutrients consistently increase yields
Supplying your oilseed crops with exactly the right micronutrients where and when they are needed has been shown to consistently increase yields.
