Silage season is here, and finding ways to maximise the quality of second and third cuts is very important for a lot of farmers. All high-quality crops start with good nutrient values found in the soil, and treating deficiencies with lime and sulphur could help drastically improve results.
Recent data suggests that following a dramatic reduction in atmospheric deposits over the last 30 years, up to 85% of arable land and 88% of grassland is deficient in sulphur, with some soils now at critically low levels*. Sulphur is an essential nutrient required for the healthy development of all plants and vital to efficient nitrogen utilisation.
Calcifert granulated lime and sulphur products can be applied between silage cuts to help enhance the quality and protein levels within the grass.
