Cost of micronutrients low, and why get a low result & then ignore it. Save the testing cost.Did that for B on cereals at the 'experts' request-not any more!
We do annual trial strips on macros. Biggest result years ago was 30kg/ha N as foliar urea in drizzle at booting. 1.5t/ha better off. That and N/S ratios & grain proteins have pulled our applied N up on cereals by 25%. For simplicity we use Fibrophos in autumn-but I am always aware that the 'freshness' of a spring base application may be missing out.
But we monitor-and the battle with potash etc means we are sticking in an in season K,Mg S dressing that may become policy, to keep these macros at hopefully less yield depressing levels. Trialling on wheat, and will use on our silage land that it will suit alongside urea. For AD so Mg not an issue.
Definately legs in foliar K-though the reason eludes me as to why it should work. I think one of the members has done some DIY work on this. Is there any update?
