[QUOTE="Agro-Vital, post: 7432501, member: 156339"] Hi, you are right that 25 kg/ha would cost about £38 and that can replace (or do the equivalent work of as an addition) 40 kg N/ha from granular. That 40 kg N/ha is equivalent to 116 kg/ha of ammonium nitrate or 87 kg/ha of urea if AN costs, for example £250 / tonne then the cost of 116 kg/ha is £29 /ha compared with £38 /ha from EfficieN28t When AN is £275 / tonne that will cost you £31.90 / ha compared with £38 / ha from EfficieN28t But you should also consider that nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) from AN is only 40 - 60 % so you are effectively throwing half of it away (into groundwater?). EfficieN28t is as close to 100% NUE as makes no difference and the crop does not have to use 15% of its energy converting nitrate to plant-usable N as it would if you apply AN. Another thing to consider is that, should it go hot and dry in spring, any solid fertiliser is going to sit there until there is enough soil moisture for it to be taken up. EfficieN28t goes straight onto the leaf then straight into the plant. Other benefits are that you do not get scorch, you reduce lodging risk as there is no nitrate flush of soft growth and you are not damaging the micro-organisms in the soil that contribute to soil health. EfficieN28t is a premium product but you are getting every bit of N from it when the plant needs it. I would not suggest that all granular N can be replaced by it but it is a serious consideration when looking at the challenges involved in feeding and keeping a crop healthy whilst limiting environmental impact. Sorry about the long sales pitch but I hope that I answered your point. I am happy to send out any trials reports should you want them. Carl [/QUOTE]
