What are the main reasons for changing to liquid fertilisers ?
Increased efficiency
- Increased application efficiency - Liquid fertiliser systems are capable of achieving extremely high work rates - maximum bout widths with fewer passes at increased ground speed together with rapid fertiliser handling and tank filling so less standing time.
- More working days - Liquid fertilisers can mean more available working days because, compared to solid fertilisers, applications are less affected by weather conditions.
- Reduced labour - The handling and application of liquid fertiliser is often a simple, one man operation.
- Better use of capital - Changing to liquid fertilisers can have a considerable effect on the capital requirements of a farming enterprise with one machine replacing two, no need for handling equipment and reduced storage requirement
Unbeatable accuracy
- Improved accuracy - Liquid fertiliser applied through your current farm sprayer can give you an immediate improvement in the accuracy of your nitrogen and NPKS applications
- Uniform application - Yara’s liquid fertilizers are 100% water soluble, and hence are uniform, which means they give consistent flow rates and no recalibration is required when changing grades
- No headland effect - Liquid fertiliser applied through stream jets fertilises to the edge of the crop and no further. Avoids losing yield by under fertilising crop margins.
- Avoids wastage - Over-fertilising beyond the field boundary wastes up to 5% of total fertiliser applied to the field.
- Protects field margins - Spraying up to the crop edge protects the environment and field margins under management schemes.

Liquid fertiliser FAQs
Application accuracy allows even fertiliser application across the full working width right up to the headland with no wastage or under application. Ease of storage and handling, increased efficiency and wider operating windows.
You can use your conventional farm sprayer to apply liquid fertilisers, however you will need to fit suitable nozzles or stream bars.
Yara supply a range of GRP storage tanks. Delivery can often be very quick and you could be applying liquid fertiliser in a matter of days after deciding to switch to liquid.

Any product sprayed onto crops can potentially cause some scorch if applied to a stressed crop. To avoid this do not apply liquid fertilisers to stressed crops or under hot condition in bright sunlight. Typically early morning or evening are the safest times.
A wide range of crop protection products and micronutrients can be tank mixed with Yara foliar liquid fertilisers - Chafer Nufol and Chafer Nufol + S.
