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.

Managing grassland sulphur doesn’t need to mean big changes. Simply switching fertilisers can deliver impressive results.

Don't risk compromising the yield or quality of your silage by cutting corners with your fertiliser programme

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.

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.

Combining nitrogen and sulphur together increases nitrogen use efficiency so means more for your money with less wastage.

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.

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.

When winter cereals begin spring growth keeping that momentum going should be the main focus of the spring nutrition strategy

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.

Making sure your potatoes are fully supplied with all the nutrients they require is the best way to improve crop yield and tuber quality

The best way to avoid wasting money on fertiliser is through soil testing and tissue analysis and then understanding what the results mean.
