Winter Wheat

Our programme of smart liquid fertilisers for Winter Wheat is specially designed to give your crop the right nutrients they need throughout the growth cycle.

Delivering crop nutrition for Winter Wheat

Shortage of nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, sulphur, copper, iron, manganese and molybdenum can lead to chlorisis in cereals and many of them can also lead to retarded and stunted growth, reduced grain size and deformation. A lack of calcium, sulphur and boron can also lead to deformation and a potassium deficiency can also stunt plant growth, lead to discolouration, necrosis and it can slow down growth.

We recommend the using NHK Delta or NHCa Delta and TipTop at the stages of the growth cycle as shown below to help your crops avoid many of the problems that can result from any of these deficiencies. There are some subtle differences between the needs of different cereals, so some crops will also require applications of CalFlux and 1-4-All.

“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.”
