Grasslands Herbicides

Grass is Ireland's largest forage crop, and ongoing advancements in grass varieties are enhancing their production potential, allowing for increased yields of milk, beef, lamb, and more. However, achieving the full potential of a grass sward requires excellent weed control.

At Charles R. Wynne Ltd, we offer a leading range of herbicides designed to combat common grassland weeds such as docks, chickweed, rushes, thistles, and nettles. Our team of agronomists is fully trained to assess the weed burden in your field and develop a tailored weed control program to achieve the best results, even in situations where clover needs to be preserved.

For expert advice, contact one of our agronomists or reach out to either of our branches today.


Fertiliser

At Charles R. Wynne Ltd., we offer a complete range of quality fertilizers for both livestock and tillage farms. Fertilizers are available in 50kg and 500kg bags, as well as in bulk. We stock products from leading suppliers including Greenfields, Gouldings, and Target. Our agronomists are available to recommend the best fertilizers tailored to your specific needs.

Five Easy Steps to Fertilizer Management

  1. Soil Tests
    Understand your soil's nutrient levels:

    • Major nutrients: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sulphur, Calcium
    • Minor nutrients: Manganese, Copper, Zinc, Boron, Molybdenum, Iron, Chlorine
      All are essential for crop growth and development.

  2. Correct Soil pH
    Maximize nutrient availability and uptake by maintaining the right soil pH:

    • Grassland: 6.0
    • Cereals: 6.5
    • OSR, Beet, Peas, Beans: 7.0

  3. Crop Nutrient Sources
    Nutrients can be supplied from three sources:

    • Soil reserves
    • Manures and slurries (if available)
    • Chemical fertilizers to meet any deficit

  4. Calculate Chemical Fertilizer Requirements
    Base your calculations on crop type and yield potential. Choose a fertilizer program that best matches your crop’s needs, e.g., Urea vs. CAN vs. KAN (Koch Advanced Nitrogen).

    Examples of Chemical Fertilizer Requirements:

    • Winter Wheat
      Target yield: 10t/ha

      • N: 230kg/ha
      • P: 38kg/ha
      • K: 100kg/ha

    • Spring Barley
      Target yield: 7.5t/ha

      • N: 155kg/ha
      • P: 28.5kg/ha
      • K: 85kg/ha

    • First Cut Silage
      No organic manures applied

      • N: 120kg/ha
      • P: 20kg/ha
      • K: 120kg/ha

  5. Monitor and Respond

    • Monitor crop yields and performance.
    • Adjust your nutrition program as needed.
    • Use crop tissue samples during the growing season to check nutrient status.
