Sulky fertitest app

Does anyone use it and does anyone know why Origin products aren't on there it's a right pain!

I use the Lemken version but I think it is exactly the same.

I use the shaker box thing and go for the closest match for urea and blends.
Tray test and usually pretty close maybe one number up or down.

Origin urea spreads much the same as any other. 139-141 width setting for 24m.

I did think that to be fair. I put the yara urea 46 in to the app and it came up with 137 so you reckon that will be close enough? I'll be spreading origin urea 46

24 meters that is

That is what I'm spreading at, 140.

Origin is unknown origin.. if you phone them and ask questions you might get to learn who made the stuff and then probably find the stuff in the app.. I just use shaker box and closest match. But don’t buy Origin either.

I dug my shaker out this morning and got a setting of 133 which is way below 140. Could they really be this different when it's basically the same product

This is a prime example of why if you're using a fert spreader you should have your own tray test kit . It takes the guessing out of it.

My understanding is orign may import urea from different manufacturers around the world so we need to test what sorce we have in the bags delivered to farm.

You can search urea on the site and maybe identffy a match to your sample. I checked a couple one was 135 the other 142 so 133 may be correct but only a tray test will confirm this,
