Why is there a need for these products ?

‘’ 90% of soil samples show a deficiency in at least 1 major nutrient’’ (Teagasc 2017).

What is the difference between these products and other similar products on the market?Similar products may contain trace elements but trace elements are coated by natural organic acids to boost trace element uptake from the soil and increase the release of natural trace elements from soil reserves.

Sulphur is an essential nutrient in crop production.• Sulphur is the ‘the 4th major nutrient’ after N P & K.

• Some crops can take up as much Sulphur as Phosphorus.

• 70% of Irish soils are deficient in Sulphur.

• Sulphur has become more important as a limiting nutrient in grass production in recent years for several reasons:

• A crop’s need for Sulphur is closely associated with Nitrogen.

Why use Lushgrass• Helps produce lush and consistent swards.

• Helps to boost the balanced uptake of natural trace elements from the soil.

• Sulphur in the product increases the Nitrogen efficiency.

• Lushgrass is a balanced NPK fertiliser for grazing.

Why use Lushsilage• Helps produce silage swards that have high yield and high quality.

• Better quality silage for your animals.

• It is a balanced NPK fertiliser with added trace elements and Sulphur.

» Higher yields require more Sulphur.

» Reduced industrial Sulphur emissions to the atmosphere.

» A greater awareness of Sulphur needs from research trials.

» Both are components of protein and are involved in chlorophyll formation.

» They are also linked by the role of S in the conversion of nitrate to amino acids.

» Crops receiving high Nitrogen rates will also have high requirement for Sulphur.

Benefits

• allows accurate and even application to all crops.

• Plant root systems are improved resulting in higher nutrient uptake.

• Protection of trace elements increases the efficiency of uptake to the plant.

• trace elements increase performance by optimising the nutrient balace

in the crop.

• Crops treated with micro-coated nutrients have a higher stress tolerance.

What is ?• is an organic bonding agent which is rich in organic acid extracts.

• These organic acids when applied to fertilisers help protect nutrients from soil lock up.

• The system can now bond micronutrients to each and every fertiliser granule to give a more even trace element distribution in the soil.

• The micro nutrients are 100% water soluble and available.

» Both are components of protein and are involved in chlorophyll formation.

» They are also linked by the role of S in the conversion of nitrate to amino acids.

» Crops receiving high Nitrogen rates will also have high requirement for Sulphur.

MAGNESIUM

• Helps reduce the incidence of grass tetany.

• Stimulates appetite.

• Required by all plants for photosynthesis and growth.

TRACE ELEMENTS

• Trace elements, including copper, zinc and

manganese, are all involved in a wider process of

animal functions that impact on performance. Trace

elements improve animal performance in terms of:

- Growth and liveweight gain- Milk yield- Reproduction and fertility- Ease of calving- Lameness- Health and immunity.

Functions of Magnesium and Trace Elements

• Trace elements are also essential for yield and quality of cereals and other crops.
