How to improve oilseed rape establishment

Autumn nutrition is important to get the oilseed crop off to the best possible start. Getting oilseed rape established and away rapidly is the best way to try to counteract the various pests that are rife at that time of year. This also ensures the overwintering crop will be more efficient and require less nutrients in the spring.

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 sulphur and nitrogen

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

... of crop yields

Developing a healthier crop root system will ensure better access to nutrients throughout the growing season so you can grow a higher-yielding crop.

... with soil and leaf analyses

Don’t waste money on fertilisers that won’t deliver results. The best way to avoid this is to base nutritional decisions on soil and crop analyses

... 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

... 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.

... 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 ?

Our fertilisers are grouped into product families to make it easier to choose the right one. If you are just looking for efficient nitrogen or nitrogen plus sulphur fertilisers, compound fertilisers containing all the major nutrients, micronutrient fertilisers to correct a deficiency or something else you will find plenty of choices.

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.

Foliar nutrition increases potato tuber bulking

Potato tuber bulking can be maximised by optimising crop nutrition to maintain tuber growth rates throughout the important bulking stage.

Phosphate seed treatments

Rapid establishment has always been important for cereals so optimising nutrition early on can help get crops off the the best start.
