Dairy farmers who want to produce more milk from their own land apply fertilizer with precision. They choose a nitrogen fertilizer which can be best absorbed by the crop and efficiently turned into yield. Novurea or Novurea+S is spread over more than 150,000 hectares of pasture land annually. Trial fields and independent test results confirm that Novurea performs in line with growers’ expectations.
Since 2011, pasture land demos and trial fields are set up every year on behalf of Triferto, comparing the effect of nitrogen fertilizer Novurea and Novurea+S on pasture land with CAN (sulphur). The purpose of the research was to determine if use of Novurea or Novurea+S on pasture land leads to a higher yield and quality compared with CAN (sulphur). The results below show that Novurea makes a positive contribution to a higher dry matter yield.
In most cases a higher dry matter yield is only desirable if the nutritional value is also good. According to long-term research, Novurea and Novurea+S assure an increase in the raw protein content in grass. Nutritional value analyses are carried out by Eurofins Agro.
