States Develop New Strategies to Reduce Nutrient Levels in Mississippi River, Gulf of Mexico
Summary The 12 states of the Hypoxia Task Force have devised new strategies to speed up reduction of nutrient levels in waterways in the Mississippi/Atchafalaya River Basin. High nutrients levels are a key contributor each summer to the large area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico known as a dead zone. Each state has outlined specific actions it will take to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus in ...

Fertiliser Advancements and Enduramaxx Liquid Fertiliser Tanks
Farming UK this week reports on a promising advancement in fertilizer that could see farmers slash fertiliser costs, boost yields and protect the environment following the launch of a new nitrogen-fixing bacteria mix. The fertiliser is a combination of nitrogen-fixing and nutrient-solubilising bacteria and fixes atmospheric nitrogen, turning it into a usable source for the crop. The fertiliser ...

Record breaking rapeseed crop last month – liquid fertiliser tanks bring savings
Last month a Northallerton farmer harvested what could well be the highest yield of rapeseed ever recorded. With 7.2t/ha, the crop way outweighs the UK national average of 4t/ha. The restored hybrid variety, Incentive, grew well for a number of reasons attributed by farmer, Steve Tuer. To begin with, the farm used to be a dairy farm, so there is thought to be a lot of inherent fertility in 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 ...

Boost Grass Yields – Liquid Fertiliser Tanks
According to the Western Morning News, dairy farmers could significantly boost their grass yields by paying closer attention to detail when applying slurry this spring. As the closed spreading period is now over, farmers will be keen to get on spreading manure as they get a window in the weather.

Target Fertiliser Use on Grassland – Consider Large Liquid Fertiliser Tanks
Gemma Claxon recently wrote in Farmers Weekly how target-treating grass like an arable crop with compound fertiliser could lead to significant feed and fertiliser savings and also boost grass production in the process. The piece goes on to detail how many farmers are not yet unlocking the genetic potential of modern grass varieties, and yet doing so could well lead to high-quality yields, ...
