Lankmark fertiliser trial locations
Aims

To investigate the role of the nitrogen stabilisers and plant stimulants on pastures.

Key messages
  • The use of eNtrenchTM, adequate sulphur at sowing, AwakenTM foliar all should be considered to enhance hay yields.
  • A more complete approach to nutrition (sulphur, zinc & copper) is only beneficial if the nutrition is managed within the environment provided. This is what AwakenTM, eNtrenchTM & Pro Gibb take advantage of.
  • By stabilising the nitrogen, big gains in utilisation were able, which results in more efficient use of land for hay production which could be adopted easily as all changes fit with existing operations.
  • The extra costs are easily returned in yield, even in a poor rainfall season.
  • The adoption of these products is not difficult as they fit as part of existing regimes.
