Controlling costs and maximising returns on inputs are key to successfully growing oilseed rape and cereals. The OMEX suspension fertiliser<\/a> system addresses these requirements by applying tailored fertiliser products with a high level of accuracy and precision, reducing farm costs and improving crop response.<\/p>\n Variable rate application is available from most OMEX\u00a0contractors<\/a>, working with application maps from most\u00a0providers, farm labour is freed up to improve the timeliness\u00a0of autumn operations and herbicides can be tank-mixed<\/a> with <\/p>\n A series of national surveys, comparing rates of removal\u00a0of P and K with rates of replacement, have shown that\u00a0UK soils have been in deficit for 15 years; more nutrients are being removed than are being replaced. This is not\u00a0sustainable and as soil levels drop to Index-1 and below,\u00a0crop yield potential is significantly compromised.
