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

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.

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

Nutrient management of horse paddocks

Horse paddocks like any other crop require sufficient nutrients to grow and without the correct balance of nutrition the quality of the grass will suffer and there may well be consequences for animal heath.

How much is not spreading sulphur costing you ?

Many farming practices for good reason are rooted in tradition and when it comes to buying fertiliser, farmers continue to buy what they have always bought. But if not spreading sulphur on grassland is costing you over £100/ha should this practice continue ?

Discover your limiting factors with soil analysis

Everyone knows the importance of taking a soil sample; but should you be investing in more than just basic soil analysis?

Planning spring phosphate applications

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.

Influencing earlier spring grass

Earlier grass is becoming more valuable than ever with winter forage reserves running low on many farms. Nutrition can play a vital role in influencing early growth.

What about selenium ?

Selenium is an essential nutrient for animal health but not for crops, yet applying selenium to grassland via fortified fertilizers raises the selenium levels in forage and avoids all the costs of unhealthy livestock.
