Nitrogen price - how does this affect you?

In this webinar, Yara UK's Head of Agronomy, Mark Tucker is joined by Natalie Wood Yara's arable agronomist and Philip Cosgrave Yara's grassland agronomist to discuss how to maximize your return on investment and respond to the price of nitrogen for next years arable and grass crop.

Topics covered include:

  • A brief background on the manufacturing process of nitrogen fertiliser
  • What is driving the jump in nitrogen prices
  • How to make the best use of nitrogen fertiliser
  • How fertiliser pricing effects nitrogen rates
  • What to consider to increase nitrogen efficiencies come spring
  • Contribution of fertiliser to variable costs on dairy farms
  • Nitrogen response on grassland
  • What happens if we decrease our first cut nitrogen rate

followed by a live Q & A session

Fertiliser application advice for first cut silage crops
Fertiliser applications for first cut silage have been really hampered by the weather since mid-March. This is a very worrying situation as these first cuts constitute a large part of next winters forage.

Maximising your vegetable crops’ potential with foliar nutrition
With the amount of rainfall we've had, a lot of the nutrients in the soil will potentially have leached away.

Spring 2024 Nutrition Management
There’s no getting away from the wet conditions many have faced this autumn and winter. We can now try and manage some of the issues this has caused via a robust spring nutrition strategy with the following steps

Establishing potatoes successfully
As with any other crop, good nutrition is key to securing a healthy potato crop, one that will return good yield and high quality and ultimately achieve a better profit margin for you.

Micronutrients: Micro but Mighty
Don’t be fooled by the name - micronutrients are NOT unimportant, we just need less of them than the macronutrients to achieve the best results.

Greater returns from first cut silage crops
Slurry applications in spring can make up most if not all of the NPK requirements of a 1st cut, so it’s important to do your sums before deciding on the rate and type of fertiliser needed in March.

Grow the future | Spring arable nutrition |
Spring barley needs to gain momentum quickly
Spring barley nutrition is no different to any other crop but growth happens a lot quicker so the focus has to be on maintaining its momentum and ensuring nutrients are readily available when needed.
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 CCF fertiliser | Agronomists in wheat field
A compound fertiliser is so much better than a blend
When you apply nutrients using a complex compound fertiliser (CCF) you avoid the risk of segregation and uneven distribution that you get when using a blended fertiliser.
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 | 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 | Potato nutrition
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
