Our agronomist only ordered 54t of liquid Fert 26 5 instead of 75t we asked them to order back in September. 21t short! which has now doubled in price.

In order to sort the requirements out for this cropping year they have proposed using Liquisafe and Efficient N28 to plug the shortfall of 21t therefore reducing farm liquid fert requirements by 30%.

First question, can these 2 products regardless of cost and quantity used produce these sort of % savings?


The missing 21t would have cost £6k when it should have been ordered and now I'm told is £11k but can only get. 24n grade.

The Liquisafe is £1700 (210L) & Efficient N28 £2300 (IBC 1000L) Total £4k

Second question- the costs savings (£7k) by using these 2 products compared to buying liquid fert at todays price seem too good to be true ? Am i missing something?

Any advice/suggestions would be very welcomed and appreciated.

Thanks
