Nitram Fertiliser Rate

[Seth470]

Looking at Spreading 34.5% Nitram on some grass for Hay/Silage and grazing. What would be the spreading rate per acre.

2-3cwt. Depending if your going over it once or twice.

 

[Agrivator]

2 cwt (69 units) per acre would be enough for a first dressing.

What does cwt mean.

What does cwt mean.

A bag to the acre when fert was in hundredweight bags!! or maybe 125kg/ha. To answer your question grazing id put 125kg/ha and if everything else p,k lime etc put 250kg/ha on cutting leys

Hope you’re not in an NVZ!

 

[willie waver]

1 cwt for grazing, 2 cwt for hay, 3 cwt for silage, is what I put on

[Werzle]

50-75 kgs / acre for hay, 75-100 kgs for grazing, 100-150 kg for silage

What was the previous crop, what nutrients were applied and has it had any dung or similar in that last 12 months?

How much rainfall do you get and what soil type is it?

What you can legally do depends on the above, what you do in practice is down to how productive your grass is.

Roughly four years ago it had a crop of Wheat or Barley I think. It has had no nutrients from my records. And we have loamy soil ( I think).
