Applying solid fertiliser is a great way of bringing up soil nutrient levels. It gives the plant the opportunity to take what the plant requires to grow and thrive. However, this way of feeding plants has its limitations. Soils must be at a certain temperature for the fertiliser to work, if the balance is not correct fertiliser can be lost either to the atmosphere or leached through the soil past the root system.
By applying foliar fertiliser on to the leaf, the plant is getting the nutrients without it having to go into the soil. The leaf of a plant has openings that allow nutrients to go directly into the plant’s system, giving it an almost instant boost.
Scientific data shows that you can reduce Nitrogen use by 25% through foliar application. This translates to 80kg of urea applied in solid form could be reduced to 20kg if it was applied as a foliar spray with the same results. But applying just one element such as Urea can give an entirely unbalanced food source to the plant. Sure, it might grow tall and look good, but is it what the animals require or in the case of food for human consumption, is it nutritious? Probably not! A better way of growing is to apply liquid fertiliser that has a range of nutrients that are in harmony with each other.
The world of nutrient availability and balance is very complex. Some elements complement each other, while others react quite differently and oppose each other. So, applying just a few elements to balance up a plant is not always the best method of plant management. By applying a complete and balanced foliar fertiliser, a plant gets a balanced diet which leads to a healthy strong plant, and the animals that consume it will have a healthy diet.
So, how does this work? Essentially it is about a healthy eco-system – healthy soil – healthy plant – healthy animal – healthy humans. If the plant that an animal eats has been treated with a completely balanced nutritional foliar fertiliser, then the plant will be healthy and thrive.
How does a balanced liquid fertiliser work?
· Our premium product was designed by a world-renowned scientist. It balances up the nutrients in the leaf. Work carried out (and from personal experience) shows that within days the nutrient status of the plant/pasture increases.
· The animals which graze this pasture will take up a range of balanced nutrients which will help to cure many of the problems associated with ill thrift in animals.
· The animals will produce better,
giving healthier milk and/or live weight gains with better yields.
