How do I add fertiliser breakdown data?

Providing your fertiliser breakdowns is an essential part on your Sandy setup journey.

Correctly mapping your products form of fertiliser, N/P/K value and further breakdown information will ensure your fertiliser associated emissions are correct and accurate. Fertiliser is generally the largest emission source in arable enterprises.

Step 1

• Navigate to Sandy Setup

• Scroll down to and select Activate Services

Step 2

• Head into the module you’re working in (for fertiliser this will be either Carbon or Water Protection)

• Next, ensuring you're in the Arable tab, scroll to the Input section, and click Manage data

• You'll be presented with two options: Manufactured fertiliser and Organic fertiliser. Click Manage data on the option relevant to your enterprise.

Step 3

• You’ll see the products linked to each year

• Click the edit pen icon on the right for each individual product

Step 4

• Provide the Required data as a minimum in the data window

• Provide further Encouraged data to increase your accuracy

• If your fertiliser is a liquid fertiliser, you must provide the product Density for your N rate to be accurately calculated

• Once you’ve completed and provided as much information as you can, click Save

Step 5

• Work your way through each product and each year until you have completed all

• If you have used a product in multiple years, the breakdowns will populate across other years

• Repeat Steps 3 & 4 within the Input: Organic fertiliser section too

  • If you do not have breakdowns for your organic fertiliser, Sandy populates with industry averages depending on the form of fertiliser you have selected
