Improved crop response from accuracy and nutrient availability. By entrusting the fertilizer application to, farmers can reduce the costs associated with receiving, handling, storing, and applying fertilizer, allowing farm labour to be used more efficiently. Numerous trials, comparing suspension with solid fertilizer, have consistently demonstrated yield and quality benefits due to the quality and accuracy of suspensions on a wide range of crops. By using suspensions, farmers can maximize the response to fertiliser applications providing major potential financial benefits. 

A sprayer offers much greater accuracy of application than a spreader and suspensions are applied with high-accuracy floodgates, providing a fully overlapped consistent and even application across the full boom width. One of the main problems with using blended solid fertilizers is that even after careful blending and calibration, segregation occurs during handling, transport, and in the spreader’s hopper, which means the product is no longer uniform before it is spread and during the spreading, different particle sizes spread different distances. As suspension fertilizers are true quality compounds, the complete analysis (including low rates of micronutrients if required) is applied with a level of accuracy that cannot be achieved with solid fertilizers.

Suspensions are tailor-made to individual field and crop requirements with high-quality raw materials and therefore avoid under or over-application of nutrients. Additives are available to improve nutrient use efficiency, effectively making the nutrients in suspensions work harder and providing a better return from the fertilizer applied. Also, by being immediately available, the growth of the newly planted crop is optimized.
