 26th August 2008 New-for-2008 Sugar Beet Fertiliser RangesSugar beet fertiliser recommendations are changing because the farmer-levied British Beet Research Organisation are now recommending lower beet fertiliser applications rates at index 2 for both Potash and Sodium. So were updating our sugar beet fertiliser range to reflect the changes and in doing so, simplifying our beet fertiliser ranges. As a result we now sell 305 new ‘standard’ sugar beet fertilisers comparing against 443 mixes that existed before the recommendations changed. Seven Scenarios
The new ranges reflect seven different sugar beet fertilier scenarios that we have identified that give growers the option to fertilise according to the BBRO tables or to replace nutrients removed by high-yielding T70 crops. | Scenario | Fertiliser Range | Target Customer | | 1 | Very Low Potash Index 0 | A sugar beet fertiliser range for light land farmers with low potash reserves without the benefit of organic manures | | 2 | Low Potash –T70 [Index 1] | A beet fertiliser range reflecting the latest BBRO recommendation but supplying insufficient potash to meet crop removals from T70 beet growers unless organic manures or additional spring potash applied. | | 3 | Low Potash +T70 [Index 1] | A maintenance beet fertiliser range for K Index 1 land supplying enough potash to meet crop removals from T70 beet | | 4 | Medium Potash -T70 [Index 2-] | A beet fertiliser for low potash Index 2 soils that does not replace potash crop removals for T70 growers unless additional spring potash or manures are applied and with intermediate sodium requirements | | 5 | Medium Potash +T70 [Index 2-] | A beet fertiliser that matches potash removals for T70 beet growers with intermediate sodium requirements on | | 6 | High Potash [Index 2+] | A fertiliser that reflects the latest BBRO recommendations for higher potash reserves on medium to heavy soils but | | 7 | Kaimag Rotational | Ideal for growers who fertiliser for the sugar beet and the following cereal crop | Two Ranges
And within each scenario we now have two ranges of sugar beet fertiliser each with different raw material base ingredients and costs. - A Premium Kaimag Fertiliser Range based on Kainit benefiting from soluble magnesium, sulphur & trace elements. Where no magnesium is required, there will not be a Kaimag equivalent. Kaimag indicates that Kainit is used in the mix.
- An Economy Oxide Fertiliser Range based on Magnesium from Calcined Magnesite & Sylvinite but containing no soluble magnesium or sulphur.
So that's Seven scenarios and two ranges for each making 14 tables in total. For more information and to see the complete range, click here
