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

After a wet winter many fruit plants may have been growing under saturated conditions for some time. Under these circumstances the application of foliar fed calcium will be advantageous.

As the soft fruit production season nears an end with final harvests underway it is important to keep a focus on nutrition to avoid carrying any issues over to next season so here are a few recomendations for strawberry and raspberry growers to ensure crops go in to dormancy in good condition.

Successful fruit growers regularly monitor their crops nutrition status in order to proactively manage their crops nutrition. But where to begin ? We look at the full system of testing and explain the what is needed and why.

A new reseed can often be the most challenging crop to establish on grassland farms. The main benefits of new swards are improved dry matter (DM) yield, and improved nutrient use efficiency.

Nitrogen use efficiency helps to understand the relationships between the total nitrogen input compared to the nitrogen output. This allows improvements to be made resulting in better efficiency, profitability and sustainability.
