Beans

Whether you’re growing peas, beans, lentils or chickpeas, pulses have relatively simple nutritional needs compared to other crops, but they still need appropriate fertiliser throughout the life cycle. Some pulses can suffer from sulphur deficiency, in which case magnesium sulphate, calcium sulphate, potassium sulphate or elemental sulphur are required.

We can help you keep your pulses healthy and well nourished

Following our crop guides below can help you keep your pulses well fertilised, and it can help with plant growth, reliance, root development, uniformity and yield. We recommend using NHKDelta and 1-4-All from crop emergence. When the first flowers grow, you should switch to applying NHKDelta, Rainbow Wave and Calflux. After two weeks, you should then apply Calflux and Rainbow Wave.

Please refer to the charts below for measurements and dosage.

“Last year I grew Nelson winter wheat for a seed contract on a split field trial. It was drilled late on drought-prone land. It yielded 7.5 t/ha, which was 1.5t/ha higher than the standard programme without Cope Nutrition Plus.”

“We started using the nutrition programme just over six years ago,” he says. “We now use it across the whole of our 2000 hectare farm, covering winter wheat, winter barley, spring barley, record breaking Merlin spring oats, and spring beans.”
