Satellite Imagery and Liquid Fertiliser Tanks For Increased Yields
Productivity in farming is of course a major area of focus, and according to the Financial Times, one UK farmer is relying on satellite imagery to help with fertiliser administration. Looking at images of his Hampshire farm, the darker blue pools indicate where there needs to be more fertiliser used, whilst the yellow areas indicate where less fertiliser is required. As a result, yields on the ...

A Focus on Crop Yields – Liquid Fertiliser Tanks To Lower Overheads
Aberdeen Press and Journal discuss this week how arable farmers can cut costs and boost yields. To leverage a return on investment, growers must of course minimise the cost per tonne produced and one such way of doing this is to maximise crop yield. But obviously, according to BASF’s Scottish agronomy manager, Dudley Kitching, there is no ‘silver bullet’ to achieve increased ...

Precision Farming – Sprayers and Vertical Storage Tanks
Fertiliser spreading and spraying continues throughout May and many farmers report to Farmers Weekly that they are moving towards a more precision-farming approach, having started with variable-rate applications of phosphate and potash and implementing tractor-mounted sensors when applying nitrogen. Enduramaxx has a range of sprayers to enable farmers to apply liquid fertilisers efficiently and ...

Fertiliser Calibration and Product Choice – Liquid Fertiliser Tanks
Farming UK recently examined how the correct set-up and calibration of spreaders can have a significant impact on the effectiveness of fertiliser applications. Correctly calibrated spreaders ensure the uniform application to grassland and maximum benefit from application. However, according to Rob Foxall, manager of spreader testing company, SCS, calibration is not just about getting your ...

Silage Making and Liquid Fertiliser Tanks
It’s silage-making time across many of the UK’s farms and the weather is holding to get silage-making done, according to Wiltshire Times. With most days last week having been dry, Thursday did bring rain, but the timing was just right, as in many cases, first-cut silage was completely dry. The first process in silage making is cutting the crop, after which it needs to be left to wilt ...

Regular soil testing enables farmers to adopt a targeted approach to fertiliser use, thus providing significant cost savings, according to Lisa Roberts of Farming Connect. Soil analysis also identifies ...

Nitrous Fertiliser Prices Remain High Despite Falling Fuel Prices – Liquid Fertilizer Tanks Enable Bulk Buying Savings
Falling fuel prices. International gas prices falling by about 27 per cent compared to last year’s prices. Yet nitrogenous fertilizers continue to remain high, according to Herald Scotland. With gas accounting for around 60 per cent of ammonia’s production costs, AN (ammonium nitrate) and urea values seem to be remaining pretty much the same. Spot crop and milk-farm gate-process ...

UK Farmers Urged to Prepare For Spring – Fertiliser Storage Tanks At Hand
We’d echo the advice of one of the UK’s leading fertiliser suppliers, as reported by Farming UK, and that is to be prepared for spring fertiliser applications. Because we had a very early harvest this year, good conditions in autumn and favourable weather ever since, most arable crops are well ahead and looking good going into winter, according to Allison Grundy, Arable Agronomist ...

Fertiliser – From Airborne Dust To Liquid Fertiliser Tanks
Much of the early fertiliser spraying across the country is now complete and spring barley is in the ground, with most coming through and growing fast. For now, farming attention focuses on fencing in preparation for turning out stock and other important activities, but it won’t be long until more fertiliser applications and it’s this on-going and high cost expendable that makes all ...
