Features & Benefits

Product Description
  • Ammonium Nitrate is the most efficient and predictable form of Nitrogen for UK growers.
  • Ammonium Sulfate offers a readily available source of Sulfur to the growing crop.
  • 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 KayNitro Sulfur is 4.0kg CO2 e per kg Nitrogen.
Features
  • Contains Ammonium Nitrate.
  • Contains water soluble Phosphate.
  • Contains water soluble Potash.
  • A True Granular Compound.
  • Manufactured at sites which are accredited to ISO 9001.
Benefits
  • AN is the most efficient Nitrogen source and the ‘Best Option for the Environment and Farming’ according to Government research.
  • Grass roots will only take up Phosphorus from soil solution so providing Phosphate in a form that is over 96% water soluble ensures rapid and efficient uptake, supporting root development and plant growth.
  • ‘To optimize the benefits of N, it is essential to have sufficient exchangeable Potash in the soil.’ Ref PDA March 2008.
  • Even application of all nutrients across the whole spreader bout width, which optimizes nutrient use efficiency and crop response.
  • Reliable product with consistent high quality, every year.

Applications & Uses

Application Technique
Applications

Grassland- Use as a general fertilizer for grazed grass on Sulfur-sufficient soils. Swardsman can be used on its own to maintain soil Phosphate and Potash levels, or in conjunction with autumn manure applications to raise soil P and K to target levels. Apply 160-200kg/ha on a monthly basis (or following each grazing) after turnout. Use Nitram® pre-turnout.

Application Rates
Product application rate Nutrient application rate
kg/ha N kg/ha P2O5/ha K2O/ha
160 40 8 8
200 50 10 10
240 60 12 12

Notes:

  • To raise soil P and K levels on fields used for grazing, apply Swardsman in conjunction with slurry the previous autumn.
  • To convert from kg product/ha to bags/acre, multiply by 0.4, then divide by 50 (e.g. 250kg product/ha x 0.4 = 100 / 50 = 2 bags/acre)
  • To convert from kg nutrient/ha to units/acre, multiply by 0.8 (e.g. 200kg N/ha x 0.8 = 160 units N/acre)

Calibrate before you spread for application rate and spread pattern

CF Fertilizers products spread to 32m bout widths. Widths of 36m are achievable with certain spreaders and products in suitable conditions, however, please seek advice It is important to maintain fertilizer spreaders, whatever bout width you work at.
