Research confirms fertiliser inhibitor value
March 19, 2021
Three seasons of UK trials have shown that using a combination of urease and nitrification inhibitors can not only improve efficiencies and reduce environmental impact but can boost soil fungal activity. The trials were carried out on Agril’s nitrogen-stabilising product… Read more

Grain monitoring highlights continuing cereal Sulphur shortage
February 25, 2015
Monitoring of grain samples from winter cereal variety trials across Agrii’s principal northern England & Scotland R&D sites last season suggests many high yielding crops, in particular, may still not be receiving sufficient sulphur in their main spring top dressings…. Read more
