KaN is re-branding to SustaiN coated Urea this summer
Once full leaf cover is established, Foliar EfficieNt 28 is by far the most effective way of feeding Nitrogen to crops
We are working with the local CHAMP project to trail practices to minimise Nitrate pollution
Do not under estimate the momentum of the environmental lobby, the press and Defra’s clean air strategy
Fertliser wastage is a cost to you and the environment
