Spraying

For all your agricultural spraying requirements we have you covered. We are able to assist you with spray outs, weed control, insecticides and liquid nitrogen application.

We are currently running two modern land cruisers equipped with the latest technology in GPS Guidance and auto section controlled booms. The use of GPS guidance allows us to apply the agri-chemicals at a controlled rate depending on the speed of our vehicles with auto sectional shut off and ultimately minimises chemical wastage and double application. Additionally, the wide span of the booms means minimal crop disruption.

We also run Tracmap for job records and proof of placement. Tracmap aids our operators to be as efficient as they can be while providing quality records for both ourselves and landowner. All our staff are highly trained and have all the appropriate certificates and licences. Kane has successfully completed and is a Registered Growsafe Chemical Applicator.

Liquid N

We use a Ballance product known as N-Rich liquid. N-Rich liquid is a liquid nitrogen fertilizer that provides a convenient way to apply nitrogen to crops or pasture. Produced by dissolving solid urea in water, used correctly Liquid N is a versatile product that provides uniform coverage.

  • Use post grazing to boost pasture growth, it can be applied with Progibb SG.
  • Apply to high value pastures to help grow more dry matter to ensure sufficient feed is available, pre lambing etc.
  • Apply to pastures that are being shut up for conserved feed.
  • Using Liquid N reduces ammonia loss through volitisation. When urea is applied in solid form, there is a sharp increase in PH around the urea granules. This drives the conversion of urea to ammonia and promotes loss of Nitrogen through volitisation.
  • Applying as a liquid results in more even distribution of nutrients, this in turn aids plant utilization.
  • Certain other products can be mixed with it as part of your spray programme.

ProGibb SG

ProGibb SG is a foliar spray that stimulates production of dry matter under rotational grazing when cool soil temperatures limit pasture growth rates. ProGibb SG contains gibberellins which naturally occur in most plants and stimulate growth. Applying Progibb when the pastures natural gibberellin levels are very low, stimulates a rapid growth response.

Appling ProGibb SG means that the plant grows larger, faster at a time that pastures are generally depleted. Used in the horticultural industry to improve yield and quality of fruit crops, it also is used in agricultural settings to increase animal feed when needed most.

  • Provides a rapid increase in pasture growth, taking the pressure off winter feeding.
  • Boost pasture dry matter yield in rye grass and clover pastures by 30-60% within 3 weeks of application.
  • Normally applied in Autumn or Spring.
