Improve Protein, Protect Premiums

Protein matters. Not just for crop quality, but for contract bonuses. Whether you’re chasing 13% for Group 1 wheat or building grain value across the board, boosting protein starts with the right nitrogen, applied at the right time.

WHY PROTEIN OFTEN FALLS SHORT

Improve Protein With Greater Precision

Achieving yield is only part of the equation – meeting milling wheat protein specifications requires late-season nitrogen delivered efficiently. Nitrasol’s foliar products and methylated urea (M-35) fertilisers support effective nitrogen uptake, helping maximise your crop’s quality and income potential.

Nitrasol solves these problems:

Nitrasol’s liquid fertiliser system is designed to give growers greater control over how nitrogen is delivered through the season. From products that support early biomass and protein potential, to foliar nutrition and protected late applications with AdvaNShield®, our system helps crops absorb nutrients more efficiently during key growth stages.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SULPHUR

Why Sulphur Is Key to Protein

Protein response isn’t just about total nitrogen, it depends on the plant’s ability to convert N into protein. Sulphur is essential to that process, and UK soils are increasingly deficient due to reduced atmospheric S.

The solution:  Use N+S liquid grades in your main splits to build biomass and protein potential early.

Pale Upper Leaves

Sulphur deficiency causes yellowing even when nitrogen is sufficient

Reduced Protein & Fill

Limits grain development, lowering protein content and final yield

Low Nitrogen Efficiency

Poor sulphur supply reduces how effectively crops use applied nitrogen

GETTING TIMING RIGHT

Precision Timing, Higher Protein Uptake

The final 30–50kg N/ha often determines grain protein, but only when applied at a time the crop can actually use it. Foliar solutions like NitraPro enable nitrogen to be absorbed directly through the leaf, bypassing dry soil conditions and ensuring uptake just before and during grain fill.

This approach allows for safe late applications from flag leaf onwards, with formulations designed to minimise scorch, maintain compatibility with tank mixes and T3 sprays, and integrate easily into a single-pass system.

Cut emissions. Increase yields. Protect your soil.

Late nitrogen is often where growers see the biggest losses. Using AdvaNShield® protected UAN lowers nitrogen loss and enables confident full-season nutrition.

“Switching to foliar N at flag leaf made the difference. We moved from 11.9% to 13.3% and hit the spec without pushing rates earlier.”
