Benefits
Can be considered as near-neutral in its effect on soil pH and therefore can be used on soils that have a low pH without lowering further. For use on perennial fruit crops (where soil incorporation of lime is difficult). 25:8:00 is a nitrogen fertiliser which contains equal parts of fast acting nitrate-nitrogen and longer lasting nitrogen. Volatilisation of nitrogen from 25:8:00 is negligible, therefore the timing of the applications is flexible.
25:8:00 can be considered as near-neutral in its effect on soil pH – and therefore can be used on soils that have a low pH without lowering further. This also means it is most suitable for using on perennial fruit crops (where soil incorporation of lime is normally difficult to achieve).
25:8:00 is a nitrogen fertiliser which contains equal parts of fast acting nitrate-nitrogen and longer lasting ammonium-nitrogen. This ensures a more continuous nitrogen supply to the crop and thus better efficiency of use, and also makes it suitable for unseasonal application during summer or winter.
25:8:00 is commonly used on fruit, process and vegetable crops.
Application
25:8:00 can be applied in base dressings and side dressings, but the actual rates will depend on the farm type, the region and the season. It is most beneficial however when split applied (where possible) on a 4 – 6 weekly basis to ensure a continuous nitrogen supply.
Actual spreading rates will vary according to farm type, climate, productivity, soil type and crop type. Soil testing and fertiliser plans are available to ensure you use the right product at the correct rate. Call our Customer Centre for information.
As with most solid fertilisers, can be stored over a season as long as it is kept in a cool, dry, well ventilated area. Store bags in a dry place ensuring they are tightly sealed.
