COVERING FERTILISATION OF SPRING AND WINTER CEREALS: AN ADVANTAGEOUS SOLUTION

PHYLLON - SULFUR N38: AN INNOVATIVE ALTERNATIVE

The profound instability that is characterising the fertiliser market, as well as the commodities market, has led to an increasing search for technical and economic compromises for the production of our country's staple crop, wheat, and other cereal crops. Often people try to achieve quality in cereals, without obtaining great results, by depriving the crop of the right quantities of fertiliser units or by not distributing fertilisers at all, or by skipping important fertilisation shifts in pre-sowing or in coverage. How, then, to achieve correct cover fertilisation?

COVERING FERTILISATION WITH PHYLLON - SULFUR N38

In particular, covering fertilisation of spring and winter cereals,carried out at the time of greatest need for nitrogen supply,to increase protein content and crop growth, is of fundamental importance in the cycle of these crops, especially durum wheat. In fact, this crop benefits greatly from the presence of nitrogen in tillering and in the lifting phase to build up protein and increase its vegetative mass. Therefore, the choice of this type of fertiliser becomes decisive in achieving appreciable crop results.

For proper cover crop fertilisation, while also having less impact on the environment by limiting the passage of machinery and nitrogen loss through leaching, Msbiotech proposes Sulfur N38, a granular fertiliser characterised by the presence of nitrogen in urea and ammoniacal form, the nitrification inhibitor (DCD) Diciandiammide, sulphur and Micro active Complex.

HOW DOES PHYLLON SULFUR N38 WORK?

The presence of the DCD inhibitor allows the plant to modulate nitrogen uptake according to actual nutritional needs, slowing down the time it takes to transform ammonia and urea nitrogen into the nitric form and reducing losses through leaching and volatilisation. On the other hand, the sulphur content not only contributes to the regulation of nitrification, but is synergistic with nitrogen function, especially in protein synthesis.

The product, moreover, thanks to the presence of the Micro active complex,is able to exploit the presence of a micro-organism-based inoculum to promote root development by stimulating both the absorption of elements and the functionality of the roots

This product, in modern sustainable agriculture, always striving to achieve higher production goals, both in terms of quantity and quality, is also an important solution to the problems directly affecting the agro-ecosystem and, more generally, the environment.
