CPM explores the concept… If we can use biostimulants to raise an overall healthier crop across the field, then it’s going to help. By Charlotte Cunningham With record-high fertiliser prices seen this season, growers have been forced to be more efficient with usage to make the most out of what supplies they do – or don’t – have. For many, this has meant looking at and adjusting rates, considering how losses can be minimised by ‘little and often’ applications, and ensuring crops have everything else they need by means of phosphate, potash, magnesium and sulphur to produce the best possible results in a difficult scenario. Another aid which has been widely discussed is the use of biostimulants. And while such products won’t replace the absence of high volumes of nitrogen, some are claimed to optimise uptake and efficiency by the crop. But just how beneficial can they be? To set the scene, in a recent survey carried out by CPM and Interagro, 49% of growers said they will be reducing…
