Designed specifically for peas and beans, ToPPit is a speciality 0-30-40 liquid foliar fertiliser that provides all the essential nutrients your crops need to maintain healthy growth and high quality yields.

ToPPit contains high levels of phosphorous, potassium and a wide range of micro-elements. Crucially, ToPPit does not contain nitrogen which means it meets all the requirements for growing peas and beans in the UK.

The fertiliser encourages strong root development and stress tolerance. it can also improve the health of plants and their tolerance against adverse weather conditions and disease. Crops that have been treated with ToPPit can also have extended shelf-life. ToPPit has no risk of scorch, making it an ideal foliar fertiliser for pea growers in the UK.

How to use ToPPit foliar fertiliser for peas and beans

Toppit should be applied at a rate of 2-5 litres per hectare in a minimum of 200 litres of water. Spray applications should begin from when the plant has two full leaves up until flowering. We advise that 2 or 3 applications should be enough to give your pea crops the nutrients they need to thrive.

You can find out more about ToPPit in our product pages and it’s available to buy now. Please contact us to find out how ToPPit can help you.

Last year we sent our first shipment of smart liquid fertilisers to Australia. Now, after a successful first application in January, we’re sending out even more to help farmers grow stronger crops in some of the most extreme farming conditions on earth.

The Australian summer is extremely hot, with temperatures staying between 35 and 45°c during the day. To help the plants grow strong and healthy in those difficult conditions, our client needed our full range. Five pallets of NHK Delta,  NHCa Delta, XStres and Rainbow Wave left our distribution partner RASE Distribution in Lincolnshire this week for its 10,000-mile journey by sea freight and lorry. Once it arrives, it will applied to a crop of Rodeo – a variety of red potato.

As you can see in the photo, the landscape is very dry, and growing conditions are difficult with light sandy loam soil and high saline water, which will prove a good test for our products. Our Products are designed to help the plants withstand stressful environments, hold onto nutrients and grow to be of a consistently high quality, so despite the environmental challenges, the crops are doing well and they’re now at 90% emergence.

It’s exciting to see how much our products can help farmers in the most difficult of environments, and we’ll be be keeping a close eye on this crop.
