Application results
We applied AHL liquid fertiliser when sowing rape, malting barley, peas and soya beans. The seed drill combination consisted of the Primera DMC 9000 linked to an FDC 6000 Fertiliser Delivery Cart. The application rates were of the order of 60 l/ha, so that we were able to treat an area of 100 ha. The tractor in the combination developed 320 hp. The driving speed was between 13 and 15 km/h.
The plant development with the support of AHL liquid fertiliser was clearly better than in the areas without AHL. The bright green colour of the plant is an indicator of good nutrient supply. The plants with AHL fertilisation also show much more advanced plant growth.
