CONSULTATION ON USE OF UREA FERTILISERS

This week, the government launched a consultation seeking views on reducing ammonia emissions from solid urea fertilisers.  They are consulting on 3 options:

  • A total ban on their use;
  • The addition of a chemical that slows the conversion of urea to ammonium;
  • Spreading only allowed from 15 January - 31 March.

This is a consultation and for more details see:  Urea fertiliser consultation
