  • If N-Lock is not physically incorporated to 50 mm, then 12 mm of rainfall is required within 10 days of application
• Option 2
  • Mix with pre-em herbicide or liquid fertilisers if rain is imminent

  • Wait until rain is forecast and apply alone (can be sprayed in then rain) at 100 L/ha water volume

How to use N-Lock - Cereals and Oilseed Rape

• Apply using a farm sprayer
• Rainfall (12 mm within 10 days of application) or several nights of heavy dew is needed to get the N-Lock into the soil
• Can be applied in the rain (when applied alone)
• N-Lock can be applied with T0's in winter cereals (see tank mix list)
• N-Lock is best applied near to the main spring fertiliser application (typically March time, or early April further north).

Where should you use N-Lock?

• Use where nitrogen losses can be high, such as permeable soils, or soils prone to waterlogging
• Use on high potential crops where maximum nitrogen efficiency is required
• Use as an aid to organic manure management
• Use where a regular supply of nitrogen to the plant is required throughout its growing cycle
