Zlahoda Farm (Cherkasy region)

“I’ve often heard that if plants develop a strong taproot system, it can help save money on fertilizers. But from my experience, that’s just theory. Plants still require quality fertilizers,” says Yurii Saviovskyi, founder of Zlahoda Farm (Cherkasy region).

“Before sowing wheat, we applied Nitroammophoska N15:P15:K15+11S manufactured by GROSSDORF, at a rate of 100 kg/ha. We also applied 100 kg of urea. The results speak for themselves — no additional analyses were needed. We further applied Sulfammophos N20:P20+15S at 140 kg/ha in autumn, providing a balanced 20:20 ratio and 15 kg of sulfur per hectare. Sulfur is crucial for us, as it significantly improves nitrogen uptake. That’s why we’re satisfied with both the yield and grain quality — we’ve been using this approach for several seasons,” the farmer shares.

According to him, while the price-to-quality ratio of fertilizers is important, quality always comes first.

“A few colleagues recommended trying GROSSDORF fertilizers. They had used them in large-scale operations and were satisfied — even ran lab tests confirming that the nutrient composition matched the label exactly. I decided to try them as well, and I can see that my wheat received everything it needed — despite unstable weather conditions,” Yurii adds.

The farmer also emphasizes the importance of timely soil analysis to determine nutrient deficiencies and apply the right fertilizers precisely and economically.

“We have deep, nitrogen-depleted chernozem soils, which don’t retain nutrients well. That’s why we supplement with sulfur to enhance nutrient absorption. We applied compound fertilizers for our wheat — the results were ideal, exactly what we needed. We also used Nitroammophoska 15:15:15 (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) for sunflowers. The outcomes were good, although it’s important to note that sunflower variety and hybrid also play a significant role,” the farmer concludes.

“When we started working with GROSSDORF, we immediately chose their products. They are reliable, and we can always count on the quality,” says Oleksii Bovdyr, Director of Skif Farm.

“The use of GROSSDORF fertilizers has significantly improved the yield of crops like barley and wheat. For example, wheat yields reached up to 11 tons per hectare. Moreover, the grain quality improved — the gluten content increased,” explains Volodymyr Kononenko, Chief Agronomist of the farm.

“Today’s weather conditions are more unpredictable and challenging for agriculture. GROSSDORF’s nitrogen fertilizers, especially UAN 26+4S, have been a real lifesaver. Under our climate conditions, they’ve proven highly effective for our crops,” says Kononenko. “It was easy to work with GROSSDORF even at the start of the full-scale invasion, when bridges along supply routes were blown up. There were no delays. Their staff delivered products even waist-deep in mud,” recalls Oleksii Bovdyr.

At Skif Farm, the team is convinced that the key to success in precision farming lies in using the right tools — high-quality fertilizers and methods tailored to specific field and crop conditions. Timely data monitoring and analysis are essential.

The farmers appreciate GROSSDORF’s competitive pricing, the consistently high quality of their fertilizers, and the ability to lock in the best price through forward contracting — placing a pre-order for the required volume with flexible delivery terms.

Petro Kravchuk, Head Agronomist at HarvEast

In previous years, many farmers focused heavily on meeting their nitrogen needs, while trying to save money by reducing applications of other essential nutrients. However, Petro Kravchuk, Lead Agronomist at HarvEast, strongly advises against underestimating the importance of balanced plant nutrition.

According to the agronomist, sulfur is just as important for crop development as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium — especially for oilseed crops. “Among all crops, rapeseed is particularly sensitive to sulfur deficiency. To ensure a good yield, you need to apply around 30 kg of sulfur in active substance,” Kravchuk explains. He emphasizes that foliar applications are not enough to meet the crop’s sulfur demand. That’s why sulfur must be applied at sowing. For this purpose, HarvEast uses NPK 15:15:15 ( Nitroammophoska N15:P15:K15+11S)

“Although Diamophoska N10:P26:K26+2S is economically attractive in terms of nutrient value per unit of active substance, Nitroammophoska N15:P15:K15+11S is the better option for rapeseed, thanks to its higher sulfur content,” the agronomist notes.

HarvEast, Commercial Director Olena Shelest about GROSSDORF logistics

HarvEast says that they take samples of seeds, fertilizers, and plant protection products from each batch and send them to the laboratory for testing. Thus, for about 7 years now, complex fertilizers for grains and oilseeds and UAN 26+4S for winter crops have been purchased exclusively from GROSSDORF.

“As of now, GROSSDORF is the partner we are confident in, who can make an additional discount, perform additional services and deliver the goods where we need them with just one phone call,” says Olena Shelest, HarvEast’s commercial director.

Over the years of cooperation with GROSSDORF, we have already developed logistics. The supplier’s manager is in direct contact with the company’s warehouses, so he always knows what goods, in what quantity, and where to deliver them.

HarvEast, Commercial Director Olena Shelest on advance contracting

The commercial director of HarvEast advises to closely monitor a set of factors that can affect the price and, when it falls, make purchases. This is how HarvEast buys fertilizers. And not necessarily in May or June. For example, in June, the company purchased complex fertilizers for the fall sowing season. And it did so at a time when prices on the market were minimal.

Here GROSSDORF benefits from the price of logistics, the price-quality ratio of the fertilizer and the storage of contracted fertilizer in advance.
