Dairy Select Range

GRASS IS KEY TO SUCCESS

Since the abolition of milk quotas in 2015, Irish dairy farmers have had to focus on the most efficient production systems possible in order to reach their profit potential. Good grassland management is key to this success. Farms that grow quality grass swards will be more responsive to fertiliser applications and will increase the overall productivity of the enterprise.

A UNIQUE PRODUCT

NitroFert Dairy Select range is a selection of high performance fertilisers designed to meet the demands of today’s Irish grassland farms. These highly soluble fertilisers give a much faster response than other products on the market and due to the smaller and even size of the particles they give a consistent even spread with more particles per meter square which leads to faster growth recovery after cutting or grazing. This is a top quality, low dust product with high density, round shape and strength resistance which will throw further allowing a spreading width of 24 meters as verified in the analysis below by independent spreader testers SCS Ltd in the UK.

The Importance of Sulphur

Over 30% of Irish soils are deficient in sulphur which is an essential nutrient for grass growth and nitrogen efficiency. Research has found a mean grass yield response to sulphur of almost 10% at responsive sites! Land most prone to deficiencies are lighter to moderate textured soils and those that are regularly cut for silage. As there is very little sulphur available in slurry it is a key input for productive grassland. Sulphur has also been proven to help boost DM yield production, protein and grass sugar content. Products within the Dairy Select range that contain sulphur include : Pasture, Pasture+, Cut+ and SulCAN.
