if you use urea on cereals and osr it should be on by the end of march for it to be productiveJust be careful before rushing off to buy cheap uncoated urea for 2023 and beyond. The window for applying uncoated in the future is very tight. https://www.nfuonline.com/updates-a...310322&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=bulletin

We’ve used AN in March as it was forecast dry, we will use urea in April if we are likely to get 10mm of rain within 3 days of application. Urea can still evaporate in Feb/March, I guess we cannot be trusted to efficient managers of our resources.if you use urea on cereals and osr it should be on by the end of march for it to be productive
all the trials where urea has been significantly lower yielding than ammonium nitrate are when the timing for application is is in april or may
do proper trials with urea 2 to 3 weeks earlier and urea is more cost effective
the biggest benefit of the continuation of the use of urea will be in keeping AN priced competitive with imported urea every farmer will benifit
Yes do not pass go do not collect ÂŁ200.00I'll be using solid urea as a final dose. Won't be on for another fortnight. Does that mean I'm going straight to hell?
Lol. Tbh I'm after the warmth. And the BBQ.Why wouldn't you want to rest eternally among friends anyway?
I believe they use a lot of urea in Australia, wonder how they manageWe’ve used AN in March as it was forecast dry, we will use urea in April if we are likely to get 10mm of rain within 3 days of application.

You are more likely to get rain than here in the dryer part of the countryThis is rubbish. It totally depends on the circumstances. I very often spread urea before a shower of rain in April or May
And if Urea gets regulated out then CF fertilisers have knocked out a major competitive product

They are a menace to us and to society as a whole no benefit!Not just this, but on many heavy land farms out this side of the country you're often lucky if you can get a tractor on the land in March without making a shocking mess.
Here we are today, on a wet drizzly cool day with an "arctic blast" due on Thursday.....but in a few years time apparently this still doesn't make urea acceptable in RT's eyes.
Strange that they are happy with leachable AN being applied though.
You will still be able to use inhibited ureaNot just this, but on many heavy land farms out this side of the country you're often lucky if you can get a tractor on the land in March without making a shocking mess.

Yes but is it not that it has been treated with formaldehyde which will in effect kill the life in the soil it therefore will not work as effective.You will still be able to use inhibited urea
