Do you really need straight nitrogen

Before ordering your straight nitrogen it is worth considering how much you actually need as it may be you actually need NS or NPKS grades instead.

January 07, 2021

Don't forget about sulphur

Sulphur was often overlooked in the past but today it is recognised as an essential nutrient and considered just as important as nitrogen, so not to be forgotten.

April 29, 2022

Heavier fertiliser spreads further

Some fertilisers consistently spread further and more accurately than others. A heavier and larger fertiliser granule will spread further because the spreader can put more energy into it.

April 20, 2022

Boron deficiencies in cereals shouldn’t be overlooked

Boron is generally an overlooked micronutrient and it is often wrongly assumed to be less important for cereals than for brassicas which have the highest boron requirement.

Agronomy Advice -Barley needs more micronutrients than just manganese

March 21, 2022

Barley needs more than just straight manganese

Most barley growers will be familiar with manganese deficiency and will recognise deficiency symptoms and understand the causes. However, other micronutrients, particularly copper and zinc are just as important yet tend to be overlooked.

March 06, 2022

Managing the nutrition of second wheats

When it comes to managing second wheat nutrition the main objective is to improve the biomass that is very often low due to later drillings and to increase nutrient supply which is often poor due to a compromised root system.

March 04, 2022

How to determine the optimum N rate for cereals

With only 50% of wheat crops having an optimum N rate close to the average figure and the other 50% varying by more than 15%, good determination of the required N rate is needed to avoid under or over fertilising fields.

February 11, 2022

Are micronutrients an integral part of your wheat nutrition

Micronutrients should be an integral part of any wheat nutrition programme, not just to ensure successful establishment but to set the ultimate yield potential of the crop.

February 06, 2022

Micronutrients - deficiency prevention is better than cure

When it comes to micronutrients, prevention of a deficiency before crop losses occur is always better than correction after the damage has been done.

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.

Foliar phosphate and zinc – let crops make better use of nitrogen

November 22, 2021

Let crops make better use of limited nitrogen

A poor or compromised root system, caused by phosphate deficiency will not allow plants to make the best use of limited nitrogen. Giving crops a boost from foliar phosphate together with zinc is the best way to build a big and healthy root system.

April 12, 2021

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.

Biotrac helps combat stress in potatoes

There are many types of biostimulants on the market, each with different purposes. Yara's biostimulant products focus on is enhancing tolerance to abiotic stresses such as extreme temperatures or drought. They contain bioactive components that help the plant mitigate the effects of stress.

October 30, 2021

Biostimulants increase marketable yield of potatoes

Biostimulant products trigger natural plant processes that enhance nutrient use efficiency. Improved plant growth and abiotic stress tolerance help the plants to remain vigorous in hostile growing conditions so the farmer can generate better yield and quality.

April 08, 2021

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.

May 09, 2021

Concerned about hail damage to apples and pears

Apples and pears are both susceptible to hale damage in late spring with the potential for both fruits and leaves to be damaged. Whilst crop nutrition cant control the weather it can help mitigate some of the effects and help damaged crops recover.

May 27, 2021

How to recover frost damaged fruit crops

Where fruit crops, particularly apples, pears and grapevines have suffered frost damage we need to think about how to best manage the crop buds which are left to both recover the damaged buds and then to recover the lost growth.

June 09, 2021

How to manage higher temperatures in strawberries

Higher temperatures bring both good and bad news for strawberry growers. The good news is increased production and demand for strawberries but the downside is managing heat stress and other challenges. Controlling the crop through these tricky periods can be made easier by utilising foliar feeds.

July 01, 2021

Is there a better alternative to monopotassium phosphate

Monopotassium phosphate, otherwise known as MKP is a product synonymous with fruit production that is widely used, primarily as a flower boosting green fruit supporter. However, at this point in time, MKP is sometimes difficult to get hold of, so many growers are asking if there is a better alternative.

June 09, 2021

How to manage blueberry fertigation

Blueberry nutrition and fertigation is very much a consequence of the rooting system and pH range. Blueberries are more acid-loving than most soft fruits and also have a less efficient root system which has consequences for fertigation recommendations.
