OMEX has been supporting Lincolnshire Field Products<\/a> for almost 30 years, helping them grow first class, quality produce.<\/p>\n Having helped LFP successfully transition to a liquid fertiliser operation, with continual excellent service over a number of decades, LFP recently embarked on a journey to utilise OMEX’s new liquid NPK fertiliser range, Multiflo<\/a> on the farm.<\/p>\n Here’s what Paul Langford, Senior Farm Manager, had to say about LFP’s experience of growing with OMEX:<\/p>\nSpeak to us about Liquid Fertiliser<\/i><\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Paul Langford, LFP<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n LFP are farming approximately 6900 ha of land for a variety of crops including:<\/p>\n “Within the business we’re dealing with a variety of different crops, soil types, and growing conditions” comments Paul Langford. He adds “They all need a supply of quality fertiliser which is where OMEX comes in and supports us. OMEX carry out soil sampling<\/a> across our fields and contract operation to help us understand what nutrients the crop requires going forward. We then work together to create a fertiliser nutrient management plan to successfully grow excellent quality crops”<\/p>\n Soil sampling<\/a> is an integral management tool at LFP, helping the farming business utilise the most effective fertiliser programmes for the crops they’re growing. “With net zero, carbon emissions, and not using that prophylatic approach, you need more information. Soil analysis helps us ensure we’re putting the right fertiliser<\/a> in the right places so the crops we’re growing, grow efficiently.”<\/p>\nLearn more about Soil Sampling<\/i><\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Multiflo<\/a> is OMEX’s liquid NPK fertiliser range, offering ultimate liquid nutrition for growing crops.<\/p>\n This year LFP switched onto the Multiflo<\/a> system and have seen excellent results, from service to quality.<\/p>\n LFP switched over to the Multiflo<\/a> system after utilising Suspension Fertilisers for many years. Paul comments “once we knew Suspensions were no longer an option we had multiple meetings with OMEX to determine which system would work best for us.”<\/p>\n “We worked closely with the OMEX technical, operational and distribution teams to choose the best system for us and we decided to utilise Multiflo<\/a>, a quality liquid NPK fertiliser range.<\/p>\n We have three satellite sites, and storing Multiflo<\/a> at each site was the best option for us. It’s been a bit seamless really, it’s gone exceptionally well!”<\/p>\n LFP are now utilising the Multiflo<\/a> system across their farming operation to supply the crops with a range of NP starter fertilisers and NPK fertilisers, depending on the growing situation.<\/p>\n Reviewing ths season so far Paul adds “you can see the evenness of the crops as they’e grown, yields are up and quality is up too.”<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n The image to the right demonstrates pumpkins grown on the farm, with and without Multiflo<\/a> 7-20-0 NP starter fertiliser, showing a striking difference in crop development.<\/p>\n Both rows continued to receive fertiliser throughout the growing season, demonstrating the powerful effect starter fertiliser has with the Multiflo<\/a> system, supplying the crop with readily available nutrition, when it needs it.<\/p>\n LFP are well into their first year of utilising OMEX Multiflo liquid NPK fertiliser. The farming enterprise summarised their experience with Multiflo:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n \u201c<\/span>With OMEX basically everything’s a positive. We meet up, we have discussions. If we get stuck we have a 24 hour response and those prompt responses are key to the relationship. \u201d<\/span><\/h4>\n
