Grow the future

Farming is a way of life and is anything but predictable. That's why your farm must be efficient and resilient enough to grow crops both sustainably and profitably now and in the future.

Improve your farm's fertiliser efficiency

Improving fertiliser efficiency is one way your farm can become more productive, profitable and sustainable. Try our quiz to find out how you can improve your farm's fertiliser efficiency.

Grow the future | Nitrogen and sulphur

Grow the future | Nitrogen and sulphur

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

Read about improving nutrient efficiency

Grow the future | Kickstart early spring grass | Farmer inspecting grass

Kickstart early spring grass with a nitrate based fertiliser

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.

Grow the future | Grassland sulphur management | Farmer inspecting grass

Managing grassland sulphur delivers impressive results

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

Grow the future | Silage fertiliser | Farmer inspecting grass

Avoid compromising your silage with poor nutrition

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

Grow the future | Grassland selenium fertilisers | Farmer inspecting grass

Preventing selenium deficiency avoids reduced productivity

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.

Grow the future | Forage maize foliar nutrition | Farmers watching maize harvest

Paying more attention to forage maize nutrition pays off

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.

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 | Phosphate and potssium | Agronomists in wheat field

When it comes to P and K doing nothing is not an option

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.

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

Grow the future | Soil testing and tissue analysis

Soil and leaf testing avoids wasting money on fertilisers

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