Planning your nutrient needs
Given the last two years of very poor rainfall, little to no fertiliser has been applied in northern NSW. Even though farmers have had reduced amounts of grass growth and therefore grazing pressure, nutrients have been removed from the pasture system. This being the case, the correct fertiliser needs to be applied at the right time to maximise pasture growth and supply pasture that is full of balanced nutrients and energy.
Rain into grain
As we head into spring, a crop nutrition program needs to be tailored to supply all the nutrients that the plant requires to turn ‘rain into grain’. Whilst nitrogen is important to increase grain yields and pasture dry matter production, it is imperative to remember the other nutrients the plant requires to convert sunlight into glucose and nitrogen into protein.
