For rotational grazing adjust the nitrogen rate using 2 units of nitrogen, per acre, per day
(eg. 20 days grazing period would receive 40 units per acre). To minimise leaching nitrogen
should not be applied after mid August.

It is important that cropsreceive the correct amounts offertiliser, applying too little willreduce yields, whilst excessfertiliser can be damaging tothe environment.
Soil should be analysedregularly to ensure PH – P – Klevel are kept at their optimumlevels.

Where farmyard manure or slurry is applied the above rates should be reduced by 125kg
per hectare (50kg per acre). High yields are achieved by using 150-180kg nitrogen on
potatoes without irrigation, while those irrigated have a higher nitrogen requirement of
225-250kg per acre due to their higher yield potential.
The phosphate requirement of maincrop potatoes depends on the soil phosphate index
and irrigation. Crops without irrigation will give an economic response to 200 to 230 units
per acre. Under certain circumstances a proportion of the potash requirement should be
applied 2-5 weeks before planting.
SUGAR BEET
Phosphate In the absence of a soil analysis 60kg per hectare is a general recommendation,
except on light peat and clay soils where 100kg per hectare is recommended.
Potash Must be considered together with sodium, and the amount used should be based
on soil analysis results.
Sodium Either as salt or kainit should be applied at 150kg per hectare to all soils except
peat and fen silts.
Nitrogen The requirement varies with soil type and soil nitrogen status. On most soils the
crop requires 100 to 120 units per acre, although on chalk soils the requirements increase
up to 150 units per acre.
