Growth at Bionature has continued this month with our first export order all the way from Australia. The order, placed by a large potato farmer down under, is the latest sign that our innovative approach to clever crop nutrition and bespoke application programmes can work for any farm, anywhere. The full Delta range has been ordered and is being shipped to Oz.
“This is exciting news and a sign of things to come. Our approach to crop nutrition delivers stronger crops, higher yields and, most importantly, greater profits. Farmers realise now that nutrition can make the difference between profit and loss, and we’re here to help them make more from every hectare.” Mark Carter, co-owner of Bionature UK
Join us this week for the Elsoms Vegetable Open Days 2017 near Spalding, Lincolnshire. We’ll be there all day at the Elsoms Trials Field (PE11 3JG) this Wednesday and Thursday (11th and 12th October) with White Air Solutions to meet growers and suppliers to discuss the latest developments in crop nutrition. The open days will feature more than 20 exhibitors, with trial plots demonstrating vegetable, catch and cover crop innovation. There’ll be seed treatment highlights, harvested sample displays of new, exciting vegetable varieties and catering too. Hundreds of farmers are expected to attend over the two days.
Game cover crops – usually sown on the poorest quality soils in the field – will thrive if given the correct nutrition. That’s the view of Tim Furbank, from Oakbank, a leading cover crop consultancy, which advises clients all over the UK and recommends BioNatureUK Ltd’s Delta liquid fertilisers to deliver that nutrition:
“Delta’s liquid fertilisers are applied as sprays, which is easier than using a spreader in awkward shaped plots adjoining field boundaries”, he says.
We recommend NHK Delta and 1-4-All to ensure healthy canopy development
“These plots are often sown in May or June, when compound fertilisers may be volatilised and wasted. In contrast, liquid fertilisers will be quickly absorbed by plant leaves and used efficiently – which could be a major problem in a dry year like this one.”
Several Delta products are helping his company’s clients achieve excellent results:
“We recommend NHK Delta and 1-4-All, applied at two/three leaf stage, to provide early phosphate to aid establishment and good root/stem structure. Tip Top – applied at seven/eight leaf stage – provides nitrogen and trace elements to ensure healthy canopy development”.
Prepare your crop for the hard winter months and give your crop the best chance of recovery after winter by applying Smart Foliar Nutrition – NHDelta and 1-4-ALL
Poor Nitrogen uptake – NHDelta is a “smart foliar nitrogen” and will get into the plant via the leaf and the roots
Shallow rooting in water logged soil – NHDelta encourages rooting despite water logging so when it dries out in the spring, the crop will survive better
Loss of nitrogen through leaching – NHDelta is stabilized and will not readily leach giving the crop vital and quick nutrition at a time when the growing window is closing and other nutrients are being washed through the soil profile.
Poor nutrition – Environmental stresses such as water logging and the falling temperatures start to impact on the growing crop, 1-4-ALL’s balanced nutrition will give the plant exactly what it needs to grow quickly and healthily
Poor Nutrient uptake – 1-4-ALL’s Lightning Technology will improve the metabolic activity of the plant and enhance nutrient uptake via roots and the leaf.
Poor Tillering – NHDelta and 1-4-ALL will encourage tillering in cereals and branching in OSR and will prepare the crop for the long winter
Weed competition – The crop will compete better when treated with smart fertilizer – NHDelta and 1-4-ALL.
APPLY NOW!
Apply just 5L/ha of NHKDelta and 2L/ha of 1-4-ALL to autumn sown crops, tank mixed with most chemicals for a low cost insurance to maintaining good plant structure. An NHDelta and 1-4-ALL programme must be followed up in the spring to sustain healthy growth.
Bushier more vigorous Rooting encouraged by NHKDelta prepares the crop for the uncertainty on months ahead.

Winter Strawberry plants Treated with NHCaDelta. The plant on the left has recieved Delta treatment and that on the right has not. The picture was taken on the 7th February 2013.

More Tillers and better rooting in the NHDelta and 1-4-ALL treated wheat plants on the bottom row
Better Rooting in Barley Plants on the LHS that were treated with NHDelta and 1-4-ALL
Brassica Plugs at Windy Ridge – NHDelta treated plugs at the top have better roots and stronger leaves.
At the end of the NHCa Delta treatment it is clear to see the difference of the treated Brassica plugs on the left and the untreated plugs on the right of the picture. The plugs are healthier and stronger than those plugs that have not been treated and it is obvious that these plugs would handle very well when transplanted. Picture taken on 30th April 2012. Just 6 days after Delta was applied equivalent to 5L/ha
