There is still time to test fields scheduled for silage production this year if they have not been tested in the last four years. Every year, many soil samples from grassland are still below target for phosphate, potash or magnesium. Land primarily used for silage production can quickly become depleted, especially of potash, if slurry…

With many fields yet to be drilled this spring, there is still time to check soil nutrient status to give crops the best possible start. Spring crops have much shorter uptake periods than winter crops, so for rapid establishment it’s essential to provide adequate phosphate, potash and magnesium. This is particularly important for spring sown…

Although crop nutrition planning should always start with soil analysis to identify the available nutrients in the soil in each field, checking nutrient uptake during the season is the key to optimising nutrient use efficiency, yields and margins. Understanding the nutrient content of your crops means you can take remedial action before the crop starts…
