KICKSTART 38 – Granular Urea based fertiliser blend
Farmers, wake up your grass this spring with KickStart 38!
Early spring grass is the highest quality, most efficient feed on the farm. According to Teagasc figures, each extra ton of grass eaten is worth 185euro per hectare in extra profit! Due to higher animal performance and lower feeding costs, early grazing will generate an increased profit of 2.70euro per cow per each extra day at grass.
This granular blended urea based fertiliser is a very cost effective way of getting Nitrogen plus P & K into the plant in early spring and will result in plenty of extra spring grass at the start of the grazing season.
