County Antrim-based Quad-X has added a new custom boom for applying liquid fertilisers to its range.
Liquid fertiliser is becoming more popular on farms as an alternative to expensive granular fertiliser. However, standard chemical spray booms are unsuitable for applying it as driving slow enough to apply the required quantities would be impossible.
The Quad-X liquid fertiliser boom comes with custom nozzles for optimum application of liquid fertiliser, and comes complete with a mounting kit for ATVs. There are also mounting options available for UTVs. The Quad-X liquid fertiliser boom can be paired with any of Quad-X’s spray tanks.
The Quad-X liquid fertiliser boom provides a fast and easy way to deliver crucial nutrients to plants, grass and crops. It’s very effective for giving the crop the right nutrients at the right time, with application less affected by weather conditions for more working days. Liquid fertiliser can be absorbed immediately for less nutrient run-off and wastage, with great accuracy in application.
Using the Quad-X liquid fertiliser application system, you can fertilise right to the edge of the crop and avoid losing yields by under-fertilising crop margins, which tends to happen when sowing granular fertiliser. This liquid boom system also avoids wastage since fertilising is accurate even at the field boundary.
The Quad-X liquid fertiliser application system can provide a solution to fertilising ground that’s hard to reach, with the quad/UTV able to work on soft ground and uneven terrain. It is a low-investment strategy for boosting grass without needing a tractor.
