A long and warm autumn allows field work to continue. Unfortunately, the current conditions are the perfect time for aphids to develop and attack emerging winter cereals. After the sugar beet and grain maize harvests are complete, aphids are also moving into the new winter oilseed rape sowings. The young seedlings are ideal food for them, leading to a weakening of the plant before winter dormancy. Damage to leaf blades or the transmission of dangerous diseases that cause, in particular, yellow dwarfing of barley leaves, are the greatest bane of farmers.

The supply of nitrogen after the winter period is crucial for cereal plants, enabling their rapid development and regeneration. The timing of the first dose of nitrogen has a direct impact on future yields. So which form of nitrogen should I choose and when?

Growing vegetables can be far more successful if you take care of the right condition of the soil and use the right fertilisers. One interesting option is lime fertilisers. What is worth knowing about them? And how should they be applied? We discuss this topic in our article.

Urea is a type of nitrogen fertiliser, and nitrogen is extremely important for proper plant growth and development. Nowadays, newer and newer versions of this product are being developed, which are distinguished by their greater assimilability and easier distribution over the area of the crop in question. A particularly noteworthy innovation is UFF® urea solution – OPTI N15. This is an innovative product in liquid form that can be used in orchards, gardens and cereal crops. What are the advantages of this fertiliser and why is it so recommended?
