Benefits of YaraBela nitrate fertilisers

Agronomic efficiency

Immediately available nitrogen - Nitrogen present as nitrate and ammonium, immediately available for plant uptake
Highly soluble sulphur - Where included sulphur is present as calcium sulphate which is highly soluble so reaches plant roots quickly
Higher yield than urea - At identical nitrogen application rates, nitrates achieve offers 2 – 5% higher yield than urea based fertilisers
Enhanced protein - Nitrate fertilisers enhance protein content by 0.3 – 0.9% compared to urea based fertilisers

Environmental benefits

Low volatilisation losses - Volatilisation losses from ammonium nitrate fertilisers are 1 – 3%, compared with up to 27% from urea
Reduced leaching - High nitrogen efficiency, fast uptake and lower dosage giving better control over residual nitrogen
Low carbon footprint - The life cycle carbon footprint of YaraBela nitrate fertilisers is 12.5 % lower than for urea based fertilisers
Low environmental index - The overall environmental index of YaraBela is 46.6 % lower than for urea fertilisers
