Big response to this past two years. Indexes good here, took full advantage of pig slurry allowances a few years ago and got any problem areas sorted before Sr went up. Just trying to maintain them now. I'd be going with p&k early again after this year's trial. I genuinely don't understand people's hang ups about using urea.

Doing this for past couple of years. 3. Generally bag per acre. Sometimes down to 30 units. 4. No better or worse than any other fert. Urea to CAN usage ratio here would be around nine to one for at least the past twenty years.
