Nitrogen fertiliser | Nitrogen + sulphur fertilisers | YaraBela

Nitrate based fertilisers are the most efficient form of nitrogen

Packs of YaraBela nitrogen plus sulphur fertiliser

YaraBela nitrate based fertilisers, are pure nutrients, offering the required precision efficiency and reliability to meet the agronomic and environmental imperatives of modern agriculture. Nitrate nitrogen has been proven to be the best form of nitrogen for UK farming conditions.

Stronger

YaraBela granules are stronger so will not shatter when spread

36m

YaraBela fertilisers will all easily spread to 36m and beyond

Heavier

YaraBela granules are heavier so perform better even in windier conditions

See for yourself the effect of physical properties

Effect of fertiliser bulk density on spreadability

Phil Burrell demonstrates the effect that bulk density has on the spreadability of fertiliser, in other words 'why heavier fertiliser spreads further'

Testing the bulk density of different fertilisers

Phil Burrell shows how to the bulk density of fertiliser and discusses how this will affect spreadability

Testing the strength of different fertilisers

Phil Burrell shows how to test the strength of fertiliser granules or prills and discusses why this is important and how it affects how well a fertiliser will spread

All YaraBela fertilisers are granular compounds

Because all YaraBela fertilisers are granules they will all easily spread upto 36m and beyond.
Because YaraBela granules are stronger they will not shatter when you spread them giving you a cloud of dust.
Because YaraBela granules are heavier they will perform better under windier conditions, giving a more even application.
Remember if it doesn't say Yara on the bag it won't be Yara quality fertiliser in the bag. Yara don't sell fertiliser in anyone else's bags.

What do other farmers say?

David Parke Castlewellan, Northern Ireland

"Consistency and keeping quality in storage means Yara Axan always spreads well and the spinner keeps clean even when some fertiliser is kept to be spread later. Spreading YaraMila with its consistent bulk density and particle size means a near-perfect pattern can be achieved".

Andrew Reed Berwick upon Tweed, England

"Here on our farm, I find the Yara Axan is ideal for what we are trying to get out of the crop. We only use Axan, so all the nitrogen is given to all crops with this fertiliser and the sulphur in Axan allows us to be applying sulphur each pass, which I believe is as key as the nitrogen "

Eurig Jenkins, Pentrefelin Farm, Lampeter, Wales

"When using YaraBela Axan, you split the bag it's always quality product and we never seem to get any stripes so the quality of the grass is as good as we can produce here"

Why choose a nitrate fertiliser rather than urea?

Agronomic efficiency

Immediately available nitrogen - Nitrogen present as nitrate and ammonium, immediately available for plant uptake
Highly soluble sulphur - Where included sulphur is present as calcium sulphate which is highly soluble so reaches plant roots quickly
Higher yield than urea - At identical nitrogen application rates, nitrates achieve offers 2 – 5% higher yield than urea based fertilisers
Enhanced protein - Nitrate fertilisers enhance protein content by 0.3 – 0.9% compared to urea based fertilisers

Environmental benefits

Low volatilisation losses - Volatilisation losses from ammonium nitrate fertilisers are 1 – 3%, compared with up to 27% from urea
Reduced leaching - High nitrogen efficiency, fast uptake and lower dosage giving better control over residual nitrogen
Low carbon footprint - The life cycle carbon footprint of YaraBela nitrate fertilisers is 12.5 % lower than for urea based fertilisers
Low environmental index - The overall environmental index of YaraBela is 46.6 % lower than for urea fertilisers
