“Traditionally growers broadcast a soluble NPK, such as YaraMila, before irrigation or anticipated rain, in the expectation the granules will dissolve and be carried into the soil profile with moisture,” he says.
“With less than one per cent insoluble and a particle size of less than 100 microns, YaraRega can be delivered using existing pivot or lateral irrigator or sprinkler or drip irrigation system without fear of blockages.
“This does away with a number of passes over the field each season, saving time and money.”
YaraRega is available in three formulations: 13-2-21, 9-0-30 and 15-7-13.
Nitrogen is present in both the nitrate and ammonium forms, meaning it is available for immediate plant uptake.
The phosphate formulations contain water-soluble, citrate forms of phosphate and all sulphate is in the form of potassium, making them suitable for application to chloride-sensitive crops.
All three formulations contain sulphur.
The 13-2-21 and 15-7-13 formulations also contain a range of micro-nutrients, such as magnesium, zinc and boron, required for optimal growth and quality in a wide range of vegetable and tree crops.
Yara is offering its customers and advisers the chance to win one of two overseas trips through its YaraRega northern lights promotion.
Producers who purchase YaraRega products between March and December 2025 will receive one entry for every 25kg bag or 48 entries per 1200 kg bulk bag to go in the draw to win a trip for two people (the winner and their nominated dealer) to Finland valued at $8925 per person.
This six-night, all-inclusive trip includes three nights in Helsinki, an overnight trip on the Santa Claus Express train from Turku to Rovaniemi, two nights at the Artic Light Hotel and husky and snowmobile adventures.
Like all Yara products, YaraRega fertilisers are produced in Europe using the highest quality ingredients and have a guaranteed specification.
“Our quality assurance standards cover everything from where and how we source raw materials, right through to formulation, manufacture, trials, labelling and logistics,” Chris says.
“Yara also maintains a comprehensive sampling system to ensure each batch meets the stated specification and can be traced back to the raw materials used in that batch.”
YaraRega fertilisers have an independently-verified, low carbon footprint.
“As one of the world’s leading fertiliser companies, Yara is committed to helping our customers to responsibly feed the growing world population while protecting the planet,” Chris says.
“We’ve already reduced the carbon footprint of our nitrate fertiliser production by 40 per cent via the adoption of some of the most energy-efficient processes in the world and we’re on track to reduce emissions by another 30 per cent within a decade.
“Ultimately, we want to be completely carbon neutral by 2050.
“Producers can do their bit by opting to use a quality nitrate fertiliser.
“Electing to use a fertiliser which delivers more units of plant-available nitrogen to your crop instead of the atmosphere is surely a win-win for growers and the environment.”
Yara fertilisers are supported by range of innovative decision-making tools to help its customers get the best return on investment from using quality nutrition products.
“Our goal is to deliver integrated crop nutrition solutions which genuinely increase the productivity and profitability of our customers,” Chris says.
Chris, who joined Yara last year, manages sales and support of Yara fertilisers in Queensland and northern NSW, which includes some of Australia’s largest grain, cotton, vegetable and fruit producing regions.
He has more than 20 years experience in horticultural production, quality assurance and supply chain management in the UK, Europe, Israel and Australia.
Yara markets a comprehensive range of crop nutrition products in Australia, including YaraMila NPK compound fertilisers, YaraRega soluble NPK compound fertilisers, YaraTera crystalline NPK fertilisers, YaraLiva calcium nitrate fertilisers and YaraVita micronutrient foliar fertilisers.
