Raffinate-free liquid fertilisers:
I am delighted to advise all of our customers, that since 2009 none of our Certified liquid fertilisers have contained raffinate, an extract from the sugar beet processing industry. As one of the first to highlight potential problems for growers, we were well placed to assist the Soil Association on a technical level to identify this source of clopyralid contamination. The loss of this readily available high potassium source has required re-formulation in a number of our products, but I am pleased to say that we have found more than satisfactory replacements.
