The giant fert price rise!!!!

[Bossfarmer]

As we all know cereal prices are strong again this year but the cost of growing them has increased sharply, im interested to know how much fert people are using on their crops does anyone put p & k on seperately as well as the compound at drilling? below are my applications for laureate malting barley it would be good if others post theirs, thanks

14-13-21 151kg/acre

27-0-0 131 kg/acre

Because he measures things in bushelsxlbs per hectare divided by chains = barstewardised rates

 

[DrWazzock]

Wow. We stopped buying compounds in 1980. Just too expensive. All straights now. But of course my time for multiple passes is 50p an hour.

 

[DrWazzock]

Most cereals here get 70 kg/ha potash, 50 phosphate in the form of MOP and TSP respectively. Also 80kg/ha Kieserite for sulphate and Mag. Then lit fert.

160-180kgs of N on wheat, 100kgs on linseed, 160kg on winter barley and 150kgs on Rye this year

ptices won’t change plans

 

[Hilly]

Hen shyt.

 

[neilo]

Fibrophos as a base fert, with Potash topped up on silage ground with MOP (quantity depending on yield taken off) or on cereal ground with Korn-Kali (also supplying S & Mg).

 

[RhysT]

200kg per acre per cut on haylage ground 21.8.11

No slurry though!

 

[principal skinner]

260kgs N plus on milling wheats. 120-140 on oats. Bought months ago at a lot more than last year but the way wheat prices are going probably a good buy. Sludge and fym also applied

Fert applications of P & K will be entirely based on soil sampling results and cropping history. Plus taking into account any muck/digestate slurry applied.

+1

Why didn't he just write 14-13-21 @ 7.5cwt/ha?

 

[farenheit]

What's that in bushels?

What's that in bushels?

How many groats per bushel?

 

[Courier]

Miscanthus established in 2007 cut every year and yields steadily improving had 0 N, 0 P and 0 K every year.

1kg per perch
