Swardsman is a true granular compound for soils that are home to grazing livestock. It’s the ideal compound for balancing phosphate and potash as they are diminished by your animals. Swardsman is for soils that do not need sulphur.
Grassland that is suffering from phosphorous deficiency may show signs of reduced growth and purple discoloration. Similarly, potassium deficiency can cause the tips of grass to wilt and die. Brown splotching can affect the entire blade.
For grassland to grow thick and healthy, both phosphorous and potassium are needed – not always in combination with sulphur.
Product description
- Ammonium nitrate is the most efficient and predictable form of nitrogen for UK farmers.
- Water soluble phosphate provides rapid uptake to support root development and plant growth.
- Water soluble potash provides rapid uptake to support nitrogen use efficiency and plant growth.
- A true granular compound ensures even and accurate spread of all nutrients across the crop.
- Bulk density typical range 900-1000 kg/m3, average 960 kg/m3.
- The Carbon Footprint for Swardsman is 4.0kg CO2e per kg nitrogen.
The benefits of using Swardsman
- According to government research, ammonium nitrate is the most efficient nitrogen source and the ‘best option for the environment and farming’
- Providing phosphorous to crops in the form of 96% water soluble phosphate ensures rapid and efficient uptake
- Proper nitrogen absorption relies on sufficient potash in the soil, which is provided by the Swardsman compound
- This true granular compound ensures even application of all nutrients across the whole spreader bout width which optimises efficiency and crop response.
