This switch could save over £7/acre and give an extra £76.40/acre beef production or £68.36/acre in terms of lamb liveweight gain, he suggests.
“Things have changed considerably over the last few decades, we don’t need to apply as much P as previously because systems have intensified and soil P has built up with manure applications. So paying for nutrients when they are not required is just a false economy.”
Reductions in the amount of Sulphur falling on grassland following the industrial ‘clean-up’ of recent times is affecting both quantity and quality of grassland.
Not so many years ago each year would see around 30kg/acre of sulphate deposited from the sky but this has now fallen to little more than 2-3kg/acre which is just not enough for the plants’ needs.
Even on medium to heavy soils, using a Sulphur fertiliser should produce a significant response.
Therefore, a more cost-effective option than traditional 20.10.10 which also gives a better fit nutritionally would be a 24.8.8+8SO3 product like Heartland Sulphur, which, for every kg applied, increases the vital Nitrogen and Sulphur content whilst lowering the P and K, he says.
“Don’t just look at the price per bag, although more modern Heartland Sulphur is slightly more expensive, it is much more cost-effective in reality.

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.

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.

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.

Twenty Ten Ten
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.

Heartland Sulphur
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.

Save Money & 18% increase in productivity
At February 2017 prices, a 20.10.10 compound will cost around £264/t whilst Heartland Sulphur (24.8.8 (8SO3) will cost £277/t, he explains.
“But using 4t/acre of FYM followed by 3.8 bags/acre of 20.10.10 to achieve 80 units of Nitrogen for first cut silage, will cost £50.16/acre whilst using the same amount of FYM followed by 3.1 bags/acre of Heartland Sulphur to give the same level of Nitrogen input will cost £42.94/acre.
“That’s a saving of £7.22/acre straight away, but you can also expect the addition of the Sulphur to give you an extra 1.5 bales/acre of silage – 10.0 bales rather than 8.5 bales – which is an 18% increase in productivity.
“However you look at it, using the more modern products gives you both cost savings and extra production from more effective use of home-grown feeds.”
Proven in on-farm trials
According to CF Fertilisers’ Hefin Llwyd, trials carried out by the company support these lifts in production but there are other advantages too.
“We’ve seen addition of Sulphur to optimum levels lifting yields by up to 2.0t dry matter/ha with a corresponding increase in forage crude proteins of 7%, so it is something all grassland farmers need to be aware of.
"The problem is a lot of producers tend to stick with what they’re familiar with but in this case it could be leading to significant reductions in quality and quantity of the most cost-efficient feed they can produce."
Hefin LLwyd
A compound product like Heartland Sulphur at £277 per tonne is more expensive than standard 20.10.10 compound fertiliser at £264 per tonne but it goes further and you actually end up using less per acre while getting better results, he says.
(Prices as at Feb 2017).
