How to find the right fertiliser

It can sometimes be hard to find the right fertiliser so try using this selector to help you in the right direction.

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

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.

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 | 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. You also get the reassurance of a sustainably manufactured and fully traceable fertiliser.

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.

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.

Foliar phosphate boosts establishment of forage maize

Forage maize can be tricky to establish and often its root system struggles to support the nutrient demands for early growth.

How to avoid compromising silage yield and quality following the cold wet spring

Following the recent weather, many grass fields are still behind where they would normally be and first cut silage yields could well be back. So what is the best advice to avoid compromising both quality and yield.

Sulphur improves silage quality

Targeting silage ground with an effective source of sulphur improves silage quality and help secure optimal milk production levels from forage.

Managing crop stress under cold and dry conditions

When frost and dry conditions combine to put abiotic stresses onto crops it is worthwhile considering the use of biostimulants such as YaraVita Biotrac which have been developed to alleviate stress.

Improving carrot quality with calcium

The nutrition of carrots has a large influence on the growth and development and importantly on carrot quality. Several key nutrients are involved but none more so than calcium which is particularly associated with quality.

Four steps to successful reseeding

A new reseed can often be the most challenging crop to establish on grassland farms. The main benefits of new swards are improved dry matter (DM) yield, and improved nutrient use efficiency.
