Example 1: If P and K are at target levels, a simple compound can be used, along with NS in a Sulphur-deficient situation:

If soil P index is between 2 and 3, there might be a positive response to early applications of available P in early spring, in which case the first application of SingleTop can be replaced with 160 kg/ha of Swardsman or Crop Master Sulphur, supplying extra early P.

Example 3: There is often little or no separate cutting land, with paddocks being shut for silage if the growth gets ahead of target. Cut paddocks should have some replenishment of the P and K taken out by the cut, unless soil indexes are high (over 3). Slurry can be used to achieve this:

On heavier soils, replace spring applications of SingleTop with Nitram

High stocking rates and feed inputs supplying nutrients in slurry often lead to a building of soil P and K indexes overtime in high input:high output systems.  In this situation where soil P and K indexes are 3 or above, only Nitrogen (and Sulphur if you farm in a Sulphur-deficient situation) is needed.  Remember to check soil fertility every 3 to 4 years to make sure that soil P and K levels are not falling below optimum.

Example: Grazing may need to support high yielding animals at high stocking rates, but the grazing season is unlikely to be long.

If the field is Sulphur-deficient, replace the Nitram with Singletop.  Applied at the same Nitrogen rate to 260 kg N/ha in the season, this switch will supply 90 kg SO₃/ha

Quality swards can improve liveweight gains from forage, either grazed or cut. Whether this is used for finishing stock or reducing concentrate feed costs, it helps to increase margins. Grazing fertiliser should be split into four or five dressings for best efficiency of use and to maintain grass throughout the season

Example 1: Where Sulphur is NOT deficient, the following system will raise soil P and K indices.

If four applications are preferred, use Swardsman at 180 kg/ha for each application.

If FYM is used, an application of 5 t FYM/ha in the previous winter will supply 3 kg N/ha, 10 kg P₂O₅/ha and 36 kg K₂O/ha for grass growth and a build of soil P and K indices

More extensive systems generally require less N to support sward growth for stock, but it is still worth ensuring that the P and K levels are maintained and that productive pasture does not become poor.

Example: Grazing fertiliser should be split into two or three small dressings, each supplying a small amount of P and K to build on the nutrients supplied by a FYM (or slurry) application.

If the field is Sulphur-deficient, replace Cut & Graze with CropMaster Sulphur.

If cattle slurry is preferred to FYM, then an application the previous autumn/winter of 6% DM slurry at 20 m³/ha will supply (nutrients available for grass growth) 16 kg N/ha, 12 kg P₂O₅/ha and 58 kg K₂O/ha and 1 kg SO₃/ha

With lower inputs such as this it is worth considering a white clover-based sward. In this case, fertiliser should be applied in modest dressings only at the early and later parts of the season, allowing the clover to supply the N by fixation during the mid-part of the year. If early growth is needed, apply up to 20 kg N/ha in February or March, and again in August or September if late season growth is required.

3 Cut systems for silage are mostly practiced on farms with high stocking rates and highly productive livestock.  Both quantity and quality of silage are vital to support the feed requirements of a high yielding animal.

Example: Slurry is likely to be focused on these fields within high output milk and meat production systems.  The challenge is to raise soil P and K and supply the nutrients to replace offtakes from silage cuts.  This can be achieved by integrating slurry applications from the previous autumn into the nutrient management plan.
