Dr Tim Lewis, Agronomy & Soil Science analyst, discussing a barley trial with Dr Rob Lillywhite at the University of Warwick.
-
Growing barley – our trials at Teasagc improved yield with POLY4.
-
Nuts require fertilizers that contain calcium, such as POLY4, to maximise yield.
-
Our cotton trial in Hubei, China is one of many trials our R&D Director, Robert Meakin, visits to learn how POLY4 performs.
-
Our crop trials with chili peppers, that require fertilizers with a low chloride content, such as POLY4.
-
Our POLY4 granules are made using polyhalite that is crushed, screened and bound with an organic binder.
-
Paddy rice is the fourth largest crop produced in the world – POLY4 supports optimal growth across Asia.
-
Plant measurements during barley growth can give early indications that POLY4 improves plant growth.
-
POLY4 can be used both in the field or greenhouse to grow high-value crops like cherry tomatoes.
-
POLY4 is a suitable fertilizer for growing potatoes as it supplies potassium and magnesium and improves dry matter content.
-
POLY4 research and development programme is global so that we can demonstrate the value of our product in different conditions such as corn in China.
-
POLY4 trials on potatoes in India are collaborations between local experts and our R&D team.
-
Preparing pots for POLY4 trials that will demonstrate the value of multi-nutrient fertilization.
-
R&D Director, Robert Meakin, inspecting potatoes grown with POLY4 in the UK.
-
Research on POLY4 is not just on trials. We have assessed POLY4's characteristics and compatibility with researchers at the University of Limerick.
-
Robert Meakin, R&D Director, visiting our POLY4 citrus trials in Sichuan, China.
-
Sichuan, China has a long history of citrus growing in the world making it ideal for testing POLY4.
-
Sirius Minerals research and development team work collaboratively with industry experts on POLY4 trials.
-
Sirius team attend events around the world to talk about the benefits of POLY4.
-
Tea plants, such as these in Yunnan, China, are chloride sensitive and require nutrients to be supplied from low-chloride fertilizers like POLY4.
-
Testing POLY4 granule crush strength is important for maintaining quality and delivering a product that is practical for farmers.
-
Trials in Yunnan, China look to assess the benefits of POLY4 on coffee plant yield and quality.
-
Trials on sugarcane in Brazil demonstrate the value of calcium and sulphur as well as potassium and magnesium all of which are supplied by POLY4.
-
We always want to hear what farmers have to say about POLY4 and its benefits.
-
We ensure our POLY4 trials are run to the highest standards for sharing world-class research findings.
-
Wheat is the third biggest crop produced globally. POLY4 has been shown to increase wheat yields.
-
Working in partnership with world-class researchers, our POLY4 trials consistently deliver industry leading research.
-
Working with Fera Science, we test how POLY4 works on a range of European crops.
