BARLEY
Barley is a resilient & versatile crop essential for food, feed & brewing. Optimal nutrition supports strong root development, stress tolerance & maximised yields.
At Agro-Vital, we apply a science-backed approach to barley nutrition, offering solutions to enhance yields & grain quality. Our products are specifically designed to meet barley’s unique nutritional needs throughout the growing season.
Tailored Nutrition: Targeted solutions ensure barley gets the right nutrients at every stage, from establishment to harvest.
Enhanced Efficiency: Our high-performance fertilisers maximise nutrient uptake while minimising waste and environmental impact.
Sustainable Practices: We support sustainable farming with products that improve soil health, optimise inputs, and promote long-term productivity.
KEY GROWTH STAGE STEM EXTENSION
NITROGEN is crucial for barley’s vegetative growth, particularly in the early stages. It promotes strong leaf development, which is vital for photosynthesis and overall plant health. Agro-Vital’s foliar nitrogen products like Efficient 28 help maximise nitrogen uptake, improve crop resilience, and ensure consistent growth even under challenging conditions.
KEY GROWTH STAGE TILLERING
Phosphate plays a significant role in crop development by mediating energy transfer in plants. Foliar phosphate powers barley crops through the first days of spring when soils and night temperatures can still be low. Agro-Vital’s liquid foliar fertiliser Splendour-K with its highly available phosphate, as well as nitrogen, potash, sulphur, manganese & zinc, provides crops with essential nutrients for early canopy development coming out of winter, promoting healthy growth and maximising yield potential.
DRILLING
Barley benefits from early phosphorus to drive root growth and support tillering. P-Focus delivers available phosphate at drilling, helping crops establish quickly and evenly. This targeted nutrition boosts nutrient uptake, supports healthy development, and sets the foundation for higher barley yields.
STEM EXTENSION
POTASSIUM & SULPHUR: BladKali delivers essential potassium and sulphur precisely when barley needs it most—during stem extension. Potassium regulates water movement, improving nutrient uptake and drought resistance, while sulphur is vital for protein synthesis. With no leaching or volatilisation, BladKali ensures efficient nutrient absorption, stronger straw, and improved quality.
BEFORE DRILLING
SULPHUR (Long-term support) is vital for protein formation and overall wheat quality, playing a key role in plant metabolism and yield. Persist Pro meets these needs by delivering both short and long-term sulphur supply through a unique blend of elemental sulphur microparticles. This formulation ensures both early-season availability and sustained release, supporting healthy wheat development while improving soil health with minimal leaching.
