Going under 190 units N/ha is achievable with the new Tow and Fert Multi 500.
According to the company, its customers across New Zealand are reducing nitrogen use and already meeting the restrictions due to come in on 1 July 2021. Many farmers have noted they are growing more grass. Foliar application of fertiliser, especially nitrogen, is proven to reduce inputs, increase fertiliser efficiency and reduce leaching and runoff.
