Winter Feed Production • Applying Gibberellic Acid during winter is a cheap way to produce additional feed • Coupling Gibberellic Acid with nutritional products can further enhance growth • Cereal Crops, Cocksfoot, Phalaris and Prairie Grasses are very responsive • Ryegrasses are somewhat responsive • Fescue is relatively unresponsive (Festulolium?) www.landmark.com.au

A unique and exclusive technology, that puts a polymer film around a graded Urea granules, the polymer coating creates a controlled release nitrogen source www.landmark.com.au

The secret to ESN is the Polymer coating, which enables Nitrogen to release based on the crops 2 key growing requirements! Moisture & Soil temperature.  Moisture permeates the polymer coating dissolving the Urea creating an N solution inside the coating  The coating reacts to soil temperature to allow the solution to move out, correlating with crop demand. www.landmark.com.au

Simplifying management Perfect World Real World  Is Urea available?  Forecast rainfall event appears on forecast  Move stock off paddock?  Purchase some Urea  Is paddock trafficable, is a contractor available?  Send a truck to pick it up  Losses to Leaching, denitrification?  Apply the urea on the paddock  Forecast rainfall never eventuates!  Forecast rainfall eventuates ESN lets you manage your Nitrogen Upfront, and not worry about above! www.landmark.com.au

3 Key Points for Profitable Grazing • Increase winter feed gaps with Gibberellic acid and Foliar Nutritionals – Grow Feed when it is needed most – Stocking rate during winter is a key profit driver • Energy and digestibility gains in pastures by applying Basis to P & K fertilisers – Decrease P lock up to Al and Fe in Acid Soils – Increase K availability • Protecting our Nitrogen investment by using ESN – Reducing operational costs – Matching N supply to plant demand www.landmark.com.au
