Just 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




Thanks

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

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.

I'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?

Why wouldn't you want to rest eternally among friends anyway?
The pious feckers that are claiming heaven as theirs, you are most welcome to.

Lol. Tbh I'm after the warmth. And the BBQ.

 

[Wombat]

As we can all only believe in one or no religion and if you don;t believe in that religion you goto hell, and as there are multiple religions it summises that everyone is going to hell anyway so crack on

I believe they use a lot of urea in Australia, wonder how they manage

Given that heat rises.....surely hell would be the colder of the two places!

They manage just fine.

They don't have Red Tractor, or NFU.

This 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

You are more likely to get rain than here in the dryer part of the country
you are likely not to have limestone chalk based soils
spreading before a rain reduces losses to the levels of AN but it needs to rain


over here all the evidence is that earlier applications of urea are comparable to AN and losses minimal
niab and others has a lot of data that was submitted to defra to back up the nfu lead defence of urea
every farmer will befit from this paid for by members and subscribers and farmers /industry levy

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.

They are a menace to us and to society as a whole no benefit!

You will still be able to use inhibited urea

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.
