YaraMila STOCK BOOSTER S (25-5-5 + 5% SO3 + Na and Se) is a compound prilled NPKS fertiliser containing selenate for use on grassland to supplement selenium levels.
YaraMila STOCK BOOSTER S is part of the Booster range of grassland fertilisers which all contain sulphur and are enriched with selenium for healthier livestock, improved performance and fertility.
Selenium is vital to fertility in most mammals and prevents issues such as placental retention, increased white cell counts and white muscle disease. Sodium aids the uptake of selenium into the grass.
Sodium is also important for animal health. Adding sodium in the fertiliser has been shown to: improve the digestibility of grass and enhance grass palatability resulting in longer grazing times and improved intakes so resulting in improved milk yields and milk quality.
Yara fertiliser bags now contain a minimum of 30% recycled plastic
N =25%, P2O5 = 5%, K2O = 5%, S03 = 5% Se = 0.015%

YaraMila SULPHUR CUT (22-4-14 + 7.5% SO3) is a quality branded NPK compound fertiliser with sulphur. This grade is ideal for replacing the large amount of potash removed after silage whilst kick-starting the regeneration of the grass plants with nitrogen together with sulphur and phosphate.
Also ideal for top dressing cereals where additional potash is required and where a touch of phosphate aids the increase in root formation at tillering.

YaraBela AXAN (27% N + 9% SO3) is a uniform compound granular nitrate based nitrogen and sulphur fertiliser with an N:S ratio of 7.5:1 suitable for use on all crops
YaraBela AXAN contains nitrogen as nitrate and ammonium. Plants require nitrogen in the ammonium and nitrate forms, so by applying these forms the nutrients are immediately available for plant growth. Nitrates are the most efficient form of nitrogen and are key to achieving optimum yields.
YaraBela AXAN contains sulphur as calcium sulphate which is highly soluble and reaches plant roots quickly. Calcium sulphate does not reduce the proportion of available nitrate in the formulation, unlike ammonium sulphate.
YaraBela AXAN is a homogeneous, uniform-sized, high bulk density granular fertiliser for even spreading over wide bout widths and will spread consistently to 36m and beyond. Being a compound fertiliser both nitrogen and sulphur are contained in every granule which eliminates segregation and allows even application of all nutrients. Yara fertiliser bags now contain a minimum of 30% recycled plastic.
