Spreading nitrogen and sulphur at the same time means more grass

Applying fertilisers containing nitrogen and sulphur means the grass uses nitrogen more effectively, you get more kgs of dry matter per kg of nitrogen that you apply

Grassland agronomy advice

The latest grassland fertiliser and nutrition advice from the Yara agronomists.

Understanding the economics of grass growth
Understanding the economics of grass growth
Against a climate of rising costs, livestock farmers have some tricky decisions to make. Nevertheless, replacing homegrown forage with purchased feed is still not justified, even at current fertiliser costs.
Planning spring phosphate applications for grass
Planning spring phosphate applications for grass
Phosphorus is a key nutrient for grass, and its role in energy supply, root growth and tillering makes its availability crucial for grass growth in the spring.
Agronomy Advice - Using manures more effectively
Using manures more effectively on livestock farms
Using manures more effectively is one way to mitigate increases in the cost of fertiliser. This will allow a lowering of the fertiliser requirements on livestock farms without risking a reduction in grass production.
Agronomy Advice - What is the value of grass?
What is the value of grass?
Grass is a vital part of any livestock enterprise and remains the most dominant and economic feed for the dairy, beef and sheep sector either as grazing or conserved forage; but what is the real value of grass?
Agronomy Advice - The impact of reduced nitrogen rates on grassland yield
The impact of reduced nitrogen rates on grassland yield
Any farmer contemplating reducing nitrogen fertiliser applications on grass needs to be aware of the effect any decrease in nitrogen rates will have on grass production.
Make up for poor first cut yields by getting your second cuts fertilised
Make up for poor first cuts by fertilising your second cuts
Achieving good second cut yields will be more important than ever this year, because of poor first cut yields and low silage stocks. Second cuts are capable of very high yields if these crops are optimally fertilised.

Grow the future | Kickstart early spring grass | Farmer inspecting grass
Kickstart early spring grass with a nitrate based fertiliser
Applying early nitrogen as nitrate will get grass off to the best start, but if you combine this with urea you will get more flexibility without having to worry about the weather.
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 | 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 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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
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.
