Fibrophos for Arable

Fibrophos is ideal for cereals, oilseed rape, peas, beans, linseed and many other arable crops. Effective across a wide range of soil pH conditions, Fibrophos supplies not just phosphate and potash but the secondary elements of sulphur, magnesium, calcium and a wide range of trace elements. In fact, Fibrophos is the most concentrated fertiliser on the market today.

Replacing the nutrients removed and maintaining soil fertility are the key issues for arable farming today and Fibrophos does just that. The nutrient balance of Fibrophos is very similar to that removed by cereal crops which is to be expected from a recycled fertiliser derived from poultry with a cereal diet.

ADAS trials carried out by ETSU for the DTI confirmed that Fibrophos performs equally as well as TSP within the first growing season after application.

Any phosphate remaining will become available to plants in the longer term, making Fibrophos a very effective fertiliser for enhancing long term fertility.

The ADAS report recommended annual applications of Fibrophos or larger dressings at two to three year intervals for nutrient maintenance purposes.

Maintaining a satisfactory, stable and balanced level of nutrients capable of sustaining high yielding crops also enables efficient use of available nitrogen.

Fibrophos' ability to release it's nutrients for up to three years, enables the farmer to apply sufficient nutrient in one year and then forget about his phosphate for another two years - only topping up with nitrogen and potash as required.
