Poor planning puts first passes and yield at risk

January is when growers move from watching crops to deciding how to feed them, and weak spring fertiliser planning can leave fields underfed when growth restarts.

Tight spray windows, uncertain Soil Nitrogen Supply (SNS), and pressure to comply with Defra Option 4 nitrogen rules all increase the risk of missing optimum timing for liquid nitrogen fertiliser.​

SNS, weather and timing pressures

Soil nitrogen supply in spring can vary widely depending on winter rainfall, mineralisation, and previous cropping, making SNS for cereals hard to judge without a clear plan. When weather improves, everyone wants spring fertiliser supply at once, stretching liquid fertiliser logistics and narrowing the window for liquid nitrogen spring application.​

Compliance, efficiency and sulphur balance

From April, Defra Option 4 nitrogen rules tighten around unprotected urea, so unplanned applications risk non-compliance and wasted spend. Using nitrogen sulphur fertilisers without considering crop demand and SNS can either leave cereals short of sulphur or oversupplied with nitrogen, hurting both yield and nitrogen use efficiency.​

Plan smart first passes and stay flexible all spring

By combining SNS assessment, liquid fertiliser for spring, and targeted UAN nitrogen sulphur grades, Nitrasol helps you build a spring crop nutrition planning approach that is robust, efficient, and easy to adjust.

From pre-season fertiliser planning through to later protected passes, the focus is on matching nitrogen and sulphur to crop need, not scrambling around supply.​

Balanced UAN + Sulphur for first applications

Start the season with liquid nitrogen and sulphur fertiliser that complements soil nitrogen supply spring levels, supporting early green-up and tiller retention. UAN fertiliser spring options such as Nitrasol UAN Solution 30N 6SO3 provide consistent, easy-to-meter nutrition for cereals, OSR, and root crops.​

AdvaNShield® protection when regulations tighten

Where applications move into the protected window, AdvaNShield fertiliser gives you a compliant nitrogen fertiliser route that maintains performance while meeting Option 4 expectations. DEFRA Option 4 nitrogen requirements can be met using AdvaNShield NBPT in liquid UAN fertiliser, keeping plans on track even if wet springs push timings later.​

Tanks and logistics ready before growth restarts

Ensuring fertiliser tanks for spring are installed, bunded, and filled ahead of the main demand spike keeps the focus on application timing rather than delivery. Nitrasol’s liquid fertiliser delivery and national infrastructure reduce the risk of delays so liquid nitrogen supply is in place when crops need it.​

Turn winter planning into spring performance

Thoughtful winter liquid fertiliser planning creates more freedom in March and April, helping you apply when crops are ready and weather allows. With a clear liquid fertiliser system strategy, you can build a nutrient plan that supports yield, compliance, and operational efficiency across the whole season.​

Stronger first passes from SNS-led plans

Using soil nitrogen supply spring insights and SNS for cereals guidance means first passes can top up what the soil provides rather than guesswork driving rate decisions. This improves nitrogen use efficiency and supports more even crop development across fields. ​

Apply when the crop is ready, not when supply catches up

Planning spring fertiliser supply early and using reliable fertiliser supplier support allows applications to follow crop growth stages rather than haulage schedules. This helps avoid the classic spring fertiliser rush and keeps focus on agronomy rather than logistics firefighting.​

Built-in regulatory and environmental confidence

AdvaNShield nitrogen use efficiency technology supports compliant nitrogen fertiliser use under Defra Option 4 nitrogen rules while cutting losses to the environment. High analysis liquid fertiliser grades also reduce movements and handling steps, supporting lower emissions and simpler operations.​

Liquid nutrition tailored for your spring

Nitrasol’s liquid fertiliser range combines liquid nitrogen fertiliser and nitrogen and sulphur liquid fertiliser options so you can match each pass to crop demand and regulatory timing. From early UAN + sulphur applications to later protected grades, there is a liquid fertiliser for spring to cover every stage.​

High analysis UAN nitrogen sulphur products, such as 30N + sulphur grades, provide balanced nutrition in fewer litres, supporting efficient spring nitrogen planning. Liquid nitrogen and sulphur fertiliser formulations are clean, consistent, and designed to run smoothly through modern sprayers.​

AdvaNShield NBPT can be integrated into Nitrasol liquid fertiliser grades planned for post‑1 April use, offering Option 4 compliant fertiliser without changing equipment. This gives flexibility to keep unprotected products for early passes and upgrade later calls if weather delays move work into the regulated window.​

Nitrasol supports everything from initial switch to liquid fertiliser system design through to ongoing liquid fertiliser logistics and storage optimisation. Nitrogen fertilisers, nitrogen sulphur fertilisers, and specialist options sit within a system built around national-scale infrastructure and on-time, in-full delivery.​

Nitrogen That Works Harder for Your Crop.

Advanced AdvaNShield fertiliser technology is designed to support higher nitrogen use efficiency by keeping more nitrogen in plant-available forms for longer. This helps align nitrogen supply with crop demand, especially later in the season when temperatures rise and loss risks increase.​

Supports compliance with Defra Option 4 nitrogen expectations when applying after 1 April.​

Improves nutrient efficiency so crops take up more of the liquid fertiliser for spring that you apply, backing yield and protein targets.​

Leaves no harmful residue and is designed to be safe for soil biology and wider environmental goals.​

Compatible with all Nitrasol liquid fertiliser and liquid nitrogen and sulphur fertiliser grades, supplied premixed for a simple upgrade.​

Frequently Asked Questions

We have answered key questions to help you shape spring fertiliser planning, understand SNS for cereals, and decide when to switch to liquid fertiliser systems.​

How should I use SNS to plan my first spring applications?
Soil nitrogen supply spring values from soil testing or SNS tools give a starting point for how much nitrogen the soil is likely to release, which can then be topped up with liquid nitrogen fertiliser. Working with FACTS-qualified advisers to interpret SNS for cereals and align UAN fertiliser spring rates with RB209 guidance helps avoid both under‑ and over‑application.​
Yes, winter liquid fertiliser planning is designed around using quieter months to confirm fertiliser tanks for spring, bunding, and delivery schedules before demand peaks. Getting tanks in place and booking liquid fertiliser delivery early reduces the risk of bottlenecks and means you can call off product when weather and crops line up.​
For many farms, there is still time to move to a liquid fertiliser system before the 2026 season by combining tank installation, sprayer checks, and pre-season fertiliser planning. Nitrasol provides support on grade selection, liquid nitrogen supply planning, and logistics so the switch to liquid fertiliser is smooth from first delivery to first pass.​​
AdvaNShield nitrogen use efficiency technology is formulated to meet Option 4 expectations for reducing ammonia emissions from urea-based fertilisers after 1 April. By keeping more nitrogen in plant-available forms and cutting volatilisation losses, it supports compliant nitrogen fertiliser use without changing your sprayer setup.​
Nitrasol’s twin-terminal, national logistics model is built around handling the peak spring fertiliser rush, with capacity to keep liquid nitrogen supply moving when other chains tighten. Planning spring fertiliser supply with Nitrasol in winter gives you priority access to this network, so your focus stays on application timing rather than chasing product.​
Nitrasol liquid fertiliser, including UAN nitrogen sulphur and nitrogen and sulphur liquid fertiliser grades, is designed for use with standard spray equipment and modern nozzle setups. Technical support is available to check rates, water volumes, and tank-mix plans so your move to more flexible liquid fertiliser for spring fits smoothly into existing programmes.
