Findings from a three-year nitrogen (N) efficiency trial have been labelled as a ‘potential game changer’ for growers looking to enhance farm sustainability and variety performance while reducing the overall cost of N inputs.

Thinking of spring, the majority of UK arable soils are deficient in sulphur which means that is needs to be part of the fertiliser strategy. With many buying straight nitrogen products this season, sulphur might need managing differently and you need to be aware of the differences, advises Yara.

2022’s floods, storms, drought and the volatile grain market shook the industry, but as 2023 gets underway, Natalie Wood, agronomy operations manager at Yara, discusses the findings from last years’ trials.

Farmers and researchers at the Oxford Real Farming Conference 2023 discussed various practical and cost-effective ways of increasing fertility and nutrient availability in the soil while reducing or eliminating the need for artificial fertilisers.

Following a surge in demand for urea fertiliser products, the agronomy firm Hutchinsons issued a reminder to farmers about the safe handling and storage of urea.

CF Fertilisers UK is set to temporarily halt ammonia production at its Billingham complex, while Yara has announced further curtailments.

As a farmer, you’d have to have been living under a rock for the past few years not to notice the intense pressure the agricultural industry is coming under to reduce its carbon footprint.

Farming leaders have broadly welcomed a series of Defra announcements today (30th March) on key issues affecting British farmers and growers, particularly the rising cost and tightening availability of fertiliser for the coming growing season.

With most OSR crops now well on their way, growers are doing all they can to ensure robust growth and higher yields. Yara agronomy operations manager, Natalie Wood, and Yara area manager, Oscar Thacker, discuss the current status of OSR crops and what steps growers can take to drive growth forwards.

The surge in fertiliser prices has created a ‘financial nightmare’ for farmers and growers.

With current fertiliser challenges and pressure to increase carbon capture and efficiency on farm, AerWorx offers some fresh advice on aeration of compacted soil.

With fertiliser costs spiking, effective management of your grassland is vital for ensuring growth potential and a strong ROI. On a recent Yara ‘Grow the Future’ podcast, Philip Cosgrave, country grassland agronomist at Yara, offered his thoughts and advice considering the current circumstances.
