mine and import.
The power stations generate in
excess of 100MW of renewable
electricity, helping reducing the
reliance on non-renewable sources
of oil and coal. Because the carbon
in the litter was fixed from the air
recently, burning it does not add
new carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere so helps reduce
accumulation of greenhouse gases.
Is it approved for organic use?
No. Although derived entirely from
organic material, it cannot be used
on organic farms as the poultry
litter is not exclusively from
organic farms.
How is Fibrophos delivered?
Fibrophos is a bulk fertiliser
available for delivery or collection
across the country – typically in
bulk 29t loads.
It is ideally tipped on a hard, free
draining surface, just prior to time
of application. It is weather proof
and stands getting wet. Being
delivered in bulk there are no bags
or packaging to dispose of or
recycling costs.
Will it spread evenly?
Absolutely no problem. We have
taken great care in handling and
treatment of the product to ensure
it arrives on farm in excellent
condition, suitable for accurate
and even spreading.
How is it applied & what are the
typical application rates?
Fibrophos is a coarse powder and
therefore should be spread using
a contractor with the appropriate
experience and equipment for
spreading this type of material. It is
recommended to employ a trailed
spreader with a moving belt floor
system or similar, such as those
found on Atkinson, Bredal, Land
Drive or Transpread machines.
Typical application rates range from
300-900kg/ha (4-6.5cwt/ac). It is
the responsibility of the user to
read and understand the Material
Safety Data Sheet, to ensure that
the product is fit for purpose, and
to apply the product in accordance
with the DEFRA Code of Good
Agricultural Practice. Farmed
animals must not be allowed
access to the land for at least 21
days following application to land.
