Trial proves Nitram blue bag fertiliser produces more profitable
yields
An independent trial carried out by Armstrong has proven the significant financial advantage of Ammonium Nitrate
fertilisers over urea options. It’s even more support for the statement by ADAS that “Ammonium Nitrate yields more than
urea in 77% of cases”.
Winter wheat trials at Helpston in Lincolnshire compared plots treated with CF Fertilisers’ Nitram Ammonium Nitrate against
those treated with urea, and also with an early application of urea followed by Nitram. The results were clear. Nitram
outperformed urea by 0.4 tonnes per hectare, or 4% – a financial advantage of £46 per hectare.
Even on those plots where urea was followed by Nitram, there was a 0.25 tonne per hectare drop in yield compared to plots
treated exclusively with Nitram. That’s a loss of £34 per hectare, or £3,400 over a 100-hectare farm. If you compare the full
urea programme to the full Nitram one, the loss is even greater at £4,600.
The trial took place in the challenging conditions of spring 2017 and highlighted that the short-term saving to be made by
choosing urea poses a real risk to farm profitability.
As researcher Mike Armstrong concluded: “The trial certainly showed that different products and the weather conditions did
affect crop performance. CF products seem to be more resilient and reliable when the weather is against you.”

Nitram
An Ammonium Nitrogen Fertiliser- leading the field in crop nutrition and trusted by farmers for the last 50 years.
Analysis:
34.5% N Carbon Footprint (kgCO2eq per kg of N) 3.4
As a high-yielding energy crop, maize is a major part of many dairy and high output beef systems. Maize is often viewed as a handy repository for manures. However, a good crop pays dividends so it is worth spending time working out the crop’s actual nutrient requirements. Where maize follows maize or another forage crop, the Soil Nitrogen Supply (SNS) is given as index 1 (low). But, where manures have been regularly applied, there will be a residual effect; The Soil Nitrogen Supply will be higher and the N fertiliser requirement lower.
Example: Although Maize is an energy crop with relatively low protein content, CF Fertilisers and Maize Growers Association trials indicate a profitable response to Sulphur fertiliser applications on light and medium soils.

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.

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 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.

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.
Where soil P and K indexes are 3 or above, only Nitrogen (and Sulphur if you farm in a Sulphur-deficient situation) is needed. But remember to sample and measure soil fertility regularly as using the following system over several seasons will reduce soil P and K levels.
Example: Slurry is likely to be a challenge within high output milk and meat production systems, so even with high soil indices of P and K, it is unlikely that these fields will not receive some slurry applications. However, they should be kept to a minimum.

If the field is Sulphur-deficient then replace Nitram with SingleTop at the application rates of 410 kg/ha in April, 370 kg/ha in May after Cut 1 and 260 in July after Cut 2. This will supply 125 kg SO3/ha

Two silage cuts rather than three has become more common because of the cost of making silage, the proliferation of maize in the forage system and the increased emphasis on grazed grass, but yield and quality are still important. Slurry will usually be utilised here and so the nutrients from this can be balanced with fertiliser to build P and K indices.
Example: 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.

One silage cut followed by grazing is a typical system for extensive livestock management. Just like all systems, it is important to plan the nutrient applications, matched to soil fertility and supply of P and K, to achieve the desired yield and quality in the cut and the following grazing. Both silage and hay can be considered.
Example 1: Raising soil P and K to target indices of 2 is important and the fertiliser pattern below integrates FYM applications to achieve this.

As a high-yielding energy crop, maize is a major part of many dairy and high output beef systems. Maize is often viewed as a handy repository for manures. However, a good crop pays dividends so it is worth spending time working out the crop’s actual nutrient requirements. Where maize follows maize or another forage crop, the Soil Nitrogen Supply (SNS) is given as index 1 (low). But, where manures have been regularly applied, there will be a residual effect; The Soil Nitrogen Supply will be higher and the N fertiliser requirement lower.
Example: Although Maize is an energy crop with relatively low protein content, including Sulphur CF Fertilisers and Maize Growers Association trails indicate a profitable response to Sulphur fertiliser applications on light and medium soils.

Ploughing out of a temporary grass ley for a forage crop such as forage rape or stubble turnips is a useful way of obtaining late season grazing or providing a summer break before reseeding in the autumn. The N requirements are often modest (Soil Nitrogen Supply index 2, unless low input grass). If sowing after mid-August (i.e. as a late season grazing) N will not be needed unless the grass has been very low input.
Example: The modest inputs of P and K required by these crops can be achieved with a compound fertiliser or a straight nitrogen application following the use of slurry incorporated at ploughing.

Where grassland is established in autumn after grass as a direct reseed or through direct drilling, there is no need for Nitrogen fertiliser as the N previously applied in the season will provide sufficient base for the seedling to germinate and grow. A modest slurry or FYM application, incorporated with the plough, will provide the P and K required to encourage establishment.
For spring reseeds, around 60 kg N/ha is required to help the grass establish.
Example: For spring reseeds of grass following grass.
