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.

Managing winter grazing

Good management of grazing from autumn through into early spring can increase the quality of first cut silage.
