Best practice for reducing ammonia emissions.
Worcestershire and Warwickshire NFU County Advisers Emma Hamer and George Bostock will be available on the NFU stand at Tillage Live so please call in at the NFU tent to say hello. We will be promoting the responsible use of urea fertilisers to minimise ammonia emissions. Defra’s preferred option was an outright ban, so the NFU worked with other stakeholders to develop Option 4 in order to keep access to urea.
Option 4 involves an industry-led approach to promoting and encouraging best practice for substantially reducing ammonia emissions from agriculture by 2030,
particularly from the use of urea and liquid UAN fertilisers. It includes mandating the use of urease inhibitors with urea and UAN fertilisers, at certain times of the year, with compliance assessed through the Red Tractor assurance schemes.
