New Fertiliser Manual (RB209) now available from Defra

The long-awaited 8th Edition of the Fertiliser Manual - known as RB209 is now available to download from www.defra.gov.uk/rb209 

Printed versions can be ordered but are not yet available.

Significant changes to the Grassland Section have delayed the publication of the full document for many months. This now focuses on applying N to achieve an optimum yield of grass depending on site class, stocking rate, production requirement and the weather. 

 

"The new recommendations enable farmers who may be operating at widely different stocking rates and feeding different levels of concentrates to obtain relevant recommendations for whole season total nitrogen requirement," says the new manual.
