Starter fertiliser equipment

Starter Fertiliser in Salads and Vegetable crops

A good response in establishment and early growth has been shown in bulb onions, salad onions, leeks, lettuce and in some other crops to small quantities of phosphate and nitrogen fertilisers injected at sowing beneath seed level (Stone DA). This nutrient is ideally placed to produce a significant growth response and is much more effective than a similar quantity of broadcast nutrient. Improved early growth and an economy of fertiliser use can both be achieved through the use of starter fertiliser. Excellent commercial results have been achieved using this technique across the UK in Ireland and in Europe.
