Costly fertiliser must be used efficiently

In the wet weather this year a lot of nitrogen was lost, especially on water-logged soil.

Unfortunately, fertiliser costs have risen dramatically in recent years — which makes it a priority to use them as efficiently as possible.

Fertiliser price and fertiliser value are two very different concepts. Even with the increase in price, they are very good value for money where they are required, because without adequate fertiliser and lime production will be very poor.
