Case study

Urea Plus in the paddock: Horsham, 2026

A grower near Horsham, Victoria, is using Urea Plus on barley and wheat in the 2026 season, applied at the same rate as conventional urea.

What the grower is doing

The grower applied Urea Plus to barley and wheat at the same rate as they would apply conventional urea. The wheat was also treated with LCF’s newly developed Prawn Extract Amino Concentrate.

The photos below were taken during the 2026 season. They show the crops as they were growing. They are not a comparison and do not show a result.

Status

Results pending: harvest 2026
