How grassland fertilisers increase grassland yield

How to increase grassland yield

The main yield components of grassland are the number of leaves per unit area and dry matter content. Higher yields come from optimising leaf numbers, maintaining a green leaf canopy and achieving a high dry matter content. A balanced grassland fertiliser programme including all macro and micronutrients is essential to help manage all of these components.

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.

Nitrate based fertilisers are the most efficient form of nitrogen

YaraBela nitrate based fertilisers contain nitrogen and sulphur in the most available forms for plant uptake, for use on grassland and tillage crops

Compound fertilisers contain each nutrient in every granule

YaraMila complex compound fertilisers (CCF) contain nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and often sulphur too – the essential plant nutrients

Foliar fertilisers supply crops additional micronutient needs

YaraVita micronutrients supply specific nutrients exactly when needed to boost crop performance by overcoming deficiencies

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 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 grassland sulphur

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

... 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.

Increase potato yield with better phosphate management

Increase potato yields with better phosphate management

Ensuring sufficient phosphate is available for early development is critical in potatoes so perhaps it is time for a re-think about phosphate management.

Are your potatoes getting enough calcium?

Calcium is a vital nutrient for potatoes and most aspects of tuber quality can be improved by having a sufficient supply of calcium during growth.

Improving nitrogen use efficiency on livestock farms

Improving nitrogen use efficiency on livestock farms is a key environmental challenge however, this also has a significant effect on farm profitability

Foliar phosphate – energising cereal crops for spring growth

Many cereal crops struggle to get moving in early spring due to low phosphorus levels as a result of low phosphate availability. Giving these crops a quick 'energy boost' from foliar phosphate is the best way to get them started.

Managing spring nutrition – what should I do?

When faced with wide variation in crops it is important to use spring nutrition to manipulate the crops as best you can in order to get the most from what you have.

Sulphur management in cereals

Getting the most from your sulphur applications is critical for both yield and quality so it is worth reviewing your current practice to make sure you get the best response from sulphur.
