Savings with BIG N

After 30 years BIG NŽ fertiliser is still the nitrogen of choice for Australia's leading grain growers. The high performance fertiliser is used for its convenience and efficiency and it remains a key input for growing high yielding sorghum.

Think no wastage

• Sorghum growers need only pay for the BIG N they require for their sorghum crops. BIG N is delivered direct to sorghum growers and any unused quantities in the nurse tanks are returned once the job is finished.

Think no on-farm storage

• Sorghum growers only have BIG N on farm when they need it for their sorghum crops. 
• There's no need for tanks or silos to store the fertiliser in advance or to hold unused quantities of BIG N during the year.

Think the best equipment

• Specialist BIG N field staff are available to help sorghum growers with setting up their BIG N rigs. Almost any rig can be adapted to apply BIG N.
• Make BIG N part of your existing rig this season or upgrade and switch to BIG N to take advantage of a modern, high performance nitrogen application system.

Think best practice

• BIG N is part of many of the latest best-practice application systems for sorghum.
• BIG N can be used in variable rate, zero and minimum till, one-pass sowing, deep banding and mid-row banding nitrogen applications.

Think protecting soil health

• Sorghum growers can use BIG N as part of a sustainable system that keeps soils healthy for the long term. Nitrogen inputs from BIG N can help increase biomass production and organic carbon levels, improve root development and promote microbial diversity.

Think less time and labour

• BIG N saves valuable time and labour in nitrogen application on large and small sorghum crops. Its very high nitrogen concentration means grain growers spend more time fertilising and less time refilling.
• BIG N is delivered direct to the paddock, further reducing transport and handling for grain growers. 
• Sorghum growers can rely on technical support and back-up during their important sorghum fertilising and sowing operations. Accredited service providers can calibrate and safety check equipment before the application begins, for your peace of mind.

Peter & Tom Mifsud
Switching to BIG N saved days of application time at planting for Mifsud Dryland Farms near the Central Queensland town of Clermont. In recent years Peter and Tom Mifsud invested in BIG N application equipment for dryland sorghum operations, so they no longer had to handle more than 100 tonnes of urea on farm.

"It was driving us mad handling so much urea," Peter said. "We knew of a few other growers using BIG N, had seen it set up at a field day and thought it could benefit us."
