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.
