Nutritional Agronomy Note: Sweeter Beet, Less Sweat
With many growers still unsure about their plans for next year's beet crop, the Omex team of soil samplers are currently testing potential beet land so that once decisions are made, field information is already in place for speedy delivery and application of essential nutrients.Omex's soil sampling service is FREE for customers, and if you decide not to use our suspension fertilisers just a small charge is made for the sampling. There is no obligation or pressure to buy following testing.
Accuracy and Flexibility
offer an economical fertiliser application method with accuracy advantages and environmental benefits plus the convenience of a contract service. They are tailor-made with P, K, Mg, Na, S plus Boron and other trace elements, as required. The sulphur is included as finely ground elemental sulphur, which mineralises to plant available sulphate in the spring.
Applying sulphur has been shown to deliver an average increase of 0.56 t/ha sugar, worth around an extra £85/ha.
Suspension Fertiliser for Sweeter Beet
Don't Just Take Our Word For It
Switching to Omex bespoke sugar beet fertiliser helped Norfolk grower John Harvey to boost average adjusted yields of early lifted crop to 92t/ha with 20.87% sugar.
Mr Harvey believes attention to detail is the key to maximising profitability across the farm, but the only major change to the sugar beet enterprise that can be directly attributed to this current performance boost is a switch from broadcasting bulk blends to applying bespoke Omex suspensions.
