Tyfu'r dyfodol

Ffordd o fyw yw ffermio ac yn sicr nid yw'n rhagfynegadwy. Dyna pam fod yn rhaid i'ch fferm fod yn ddigon effeithlon i dyfu cnydau sy'n gynaliadwy ac yn broffidiol nawr ac yn y dyfodol.

Cereal micronutrients

If you supply your cereal crops with exactly the right micronutrients where and when they are needed this will prevent yield losses or quality reduction due to deficiencies.

Cereal micronutrient deficiencies are widespread

Half of the wheat leaf samples submitted for tissue analysis show multiple deficiencies with over half the samples showing deficiencies of zinc, magnesium, copper and manganese.

Wheat crops are not reaching their yield potential

50%

Don't get caught out - prevention is better than cure

Apply micronutrients before any visual symptoms of deficiency are seen in the field.
Prevent micronutrient deficiencies to avoid the risk of yield losses or reduced crop quality.
Different crops have different requirements so use specific micronutrient mixtures based on a crop's requirements
YaraVita Gramitrel is for cereal crops and contains key micronutrients copper, magnesium, manganese and zinc.

All key micro-nutrients

YaraVita Gramitrel contains Zn, Mg, Cu & Mn - key micronutrients for wheat

Boost natural immunity

Micronutrients, especially Zn and Cu can boost a crop's natural defence mechanisms

Listen to the latest advice

YaraVita’s Technical Manager, Phil Burrell walks us through the latest advice on cereal micronutrients

Do you know the roles of micronutrients in cereals?

All micronutrients have crucial roles in plants.
Some species have a higher requirement for certain micronutrients and so deficiencies of these are more likely.
A deficiency of any nutrient or micronutrient will result in loss of yield and quality.

Can you afford to ignore cereal micronutrient deficiencies?

Potential yield losses caused by micronutrient deficiencies can be significant.
Trials have confirmed yield increases of up to 0.5 T/ha in wheat.
The cost of application is relatively low compared to the potential losses due to deficiency.
Increased natural immunity may reduce pressure on fungicide treatments.
Apply throughout the growing season for peace of mind and to reduce the risk of micronutrient deficiencies.
