Plan a strong season with Nutrino Pro
As growers plan for spring 2026, early engagement with fertiliser requirements and suppliers is critical to ensure timely access. The Agricultural Industries Confederation (AIC) has urged farmers to act early, citing the importance of proactive planning. They advised growers to make decisions now based on anticipated requirements to achieve timely delivery in advance of spring application. Nutrino Pro is supplied in an IBC, therefore lead times are considerably shorter than traditional fertiliser, with shorter distribution lines and high production capacity, however it would still be prudent to start planning. Strong supportive data and impressive return of investment figures for several key crops, including maize, OSR and potatoes, have seen Nutrino Pro form part of nutrition planning for the season ahead.
“Regarding pricing, we have found that Nutrino Pro follows a similar trend to nitrogen-based fertilisers, although generally with less volatility throughout the season” says Finley Hawkins, Frontier’s Business Development Manager, “As a result, many of our customers prefer to purchase Nutrino Pro over winter at a known price with flexible delivery and payment options, ensuring they have product on farm and ready when needed for the many different crops it’s now used on. This proactive approach helps avoid the risks associated with mid-season reactive purchases, which are often subject to price premiums and restricted delivery timescales.
“Working closely with IntraCrop, Frontier can support our growers in developing an optimised nutrition and buying strategy for Nutrino Pro and all other fertiliser inputs, while also aligning payment dates with farm business cash flow.”
Growers are also expecting to face the increasingly familiar challenge of unpredictable, erratic weather and pressure to achieve more and better-quality yield from reduced inputs. Nutrino Pro is designed to help farmers meet these challenges by maximising Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE) which is a measure of how efficiently a plant can use a given nutrient.
Improving NUE delivers both environmental and economic benefits.
- Nitrogen fertiliser production is a main source of greenhouse gas emissions, and reducing fertiliser dependency can significantly cut a grower’s carbon footprint. Food processors aiming to reduce scope 3 emissions favour growers who can achieve higher NUE, creating a more sustainable supply chain.
- Growers achieving NUE can reduce fertiliser application rates without compromising yield or quality. This enhances return on investment while reducing nitrogen volatilisation and leaching risks- key contributors to nutrient loss and environmental damage.
Nutrino Pro is a high efficiency, low-scorch foliar nitrogen fertilizer featuring controlled-release technology. It is optimized with magnesium and sulphur and includes plant biostimulants, Pidolic acid and R100, designed to enhance nutrient uptake and utilization.
- 95% + nitrogen use efficiency
- Controlled slow release over 6 weeks
- Improves crop growth, yield and quality
- CE mark achieved in 2025
Global food processors such as PepsiCo and Unilever are targeting significant Scope 3 emission reductions across their supply chains, favouring growers who improve nutrient use efficiency and adopt sustainable practices.
By integrating Nutrino Pro into nutrition plans, growers can align with these sustainability goals and strengthen their position. Growers can also access funding opportunities through Frontier Agriculture schemes when using Nutrino Pro, further supporting early adoption and integration into spring and summer programs.
