What is AlpHa?
AlpHa is a unique product targeted to precipitate the toxic soluble aluminium, manganese and iron present in the soil therefore reducing the need for capital dressings of agricultural lime (Aglime), and should be used annually as an integral part of … Continue reading
What is ‘Avail’
‘Avail’ is a patented anionic polymer specifically designed to neutralise soil aluminium and iron in the vacinity of the fertiliser granules and particles, thereby reducing P fixation and greatly enhancing phosphate uptake.
What about trace elements?
Fluidisation is the perfect application system for trace elements, as it optimises foliar uptake. The vast majority of trace elements applied in solid form become fixed in the soil, on either clay particles or organic matter. The chemical form of … Continue reading
What forms of K (Potassium) and S (Sulphur) are used?
Futurespread uses sulphate of potash in its dairy blends. This is because most dairy farms are on sulphate-retentive soils, making this form of S very efficient. This is why many dairy farms have excessively high soil sulphate levels where super … Continue reading
What forms of P (Phosphate) are used in FertME fertilisers?
P is applied as a mixture of DAP and/or fine RPR. The mix of the two depends on the farm type. The DAP does not need to be finely ground, as this adds to the cost for no agronomic advantage, … Continue reading
Why use a bucket system instead of a boom?
The patented Futurespread bucket system provides a much wider swath, and a much wider range of application rates (heavier), than spray booms. This increases the hectares spread per hour, and therefore reduces costs to the farmer. The patented triple-vane spreader … Continue reading
How does Futurespread Fluidised Fertiliser (FFF) differ from FPA?
Fine particle application (FPA) essentially involves grinding the entire fertiliser blend exceedingly finely (typically to minus 20 microns). This is unnecessary, wastes energy and costs a lot of money – a cost which is passed on to the farmer.. The … Continue reading
Why do we fluidise?
Fertilisers are commonly sold and spread in granular form simply to improve spreading compared to dry fine products. It is not the ideal form for nutrient efficiency. Applying nutrients in fluidised form enables optimum spreading and placement while still incorporating … Continue reading
What is fluidised fertiliser?
Fluidised fertiliser is the term used for combining and processing proven fertiliser products into a form that is more evenly distributed and provide the plant with both foliar and root feeding. After processing extremely small amounts of liquid (water or … Continue reading
What forms of N (Nitrogen) are used in FertME fertilisers?
The ‘base’ N content is present as DAP. Additional N in higher N-content fluidised products is incorporated as fine urea, incorporating urease inhibitor. For an organic source we use Moana 15%N. Fluidised urea containing urease inhibitor is vastly more efficient … Continue reading
