NutriFibre - Mineral efficient

NutriFibre®’s efficient use of nutrients guarantees a reduction in leaching. Because NutriFibre® optimally utilises fertilisers, dairy farmers get more yield with the same level of fertilisation compared to other grasses.

Soil permitting, NutriFibre®’s roots can reach depths of more than 100 cm, compared with only 25 cm on average for perennial ryegrass. This enables NutriFibre® to utilise 96% of the nutrients contained in the soil (nitrogen, phosphate, potassium) and will produce high yields for at least ten years with undiminished productivity.

Best phosphate utilisation

Phosphate is attracting a lot of attention due to the expected worldwide phosphate shortage. This means that applications of phosphate will have to be utilised more efficiently. NutriFibre® offers the perfect solution, as its long roots allow the crop to intake 15% more phosphate. In addition, NutriFibre® is able to utilise the phosphate present in deeper soil layers and convert this into extra growth. NutriFibre® gives a higher protein yield per hectare compared with other grass varieties (figure 3).

Nitrogen utilisation

Research from 2011 by the Louis Bolk Institute (NL) demonstrates that NutriFibre® produces more high-protein grass per hectare than other grasses, with the same nitrogen input (table 3). NutriFibre® enables you to economise on the purchase of nitrogen or high-protein feed or concentrates after sowing.
