Establishing potatoes successfully
As with any other crop, good nutrition is key to securing a healthy potato crop, one that will return good yield and high quality and ultimately achieve a better profit margin for you.

Micronutrients: Micro but Mighty
Don’t be fooled by the name - micronutrients are NOT unimportant, we just need less of them than the macronutrients to achieve the best results.
Spring Barley Fields
How to Maximise Spring Barley Productivity
With so many farmers struggling to get onto their fields to drill winter wheat due to the wet weather, many are turning to spring barley as an alternative crop.

Planning for Successful Oilseed Establishment
Oilseed rape can be a tricky crop to establish, so attention to detail is critical to overcome various obstacles that can affect early growth and development.

Where drilling of winter wheat has been delayed, the crop nutrition strategy should be adapted to help recover the lost yield potential
Do you really need straight nitrogen
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.
Don't forget about sulphur
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.
Heavier fertiliser spreads further
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.

Grow the future | Spring arable nutrition |
Spring barley needs to gain momentum quickly
Spring barley nutrition is no different to any other crop but growth happens a lot quicker so the focus has to be on maintaining its momentum and ensuring nutrients are readily available when needed.
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.
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 | 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 | Potato nutrition
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
