Rising tensions in the Middle East have once again caused volatility in fertiliser markets, pushing prices higher and creating uncertainty. With these costs increasing, there is renewed focus on ensuring fertiliser applications are closely matched to crop and soil requirements.

On this week’s Tillage Edge podcast, Dr Veronica Nyhan, Soils and Plant Nutrition Specialist with Teagasc, discusses current soil fertility trends and how farmers can get the best return from applied fertilisers.

Veronica outlines how higher fertiliser prices are encouraging growers to consider using organic manures as a potentially more affordable nutrient source.
