Same yield with up to 25% less fertiliser
The FertiSpot system - practical results
- Reduced fertiliser input - same early crop development and the same yield by the concentrated and precise nutrient placement
- Reduction in non-productive time due to fewer fill breaks and longer operating periods due to the lower application rate per hectare
- Protecting the environment by reducing the amount of fertiliser used
- Maintaining yields, especially during dry periods

The placement depth of the fertiliser is set manually on the implement, whilst the type and position of the fertiliser dose are simply set using the software in the ISOBUS operating terminal.
FertiSpot under-root fertilisation in maize for optimum nutrient uptake
The placement position of the fertiliser dose can be adjusted to suit. For the more sensitive, finer roots of some crops, such as sugar beet, the fertiliser is deposited in the space between the plants
The placement of the concentrated fertiliser dose, as MultiSpot, prevents nutrient fixation in the soil for crops with a higher plant count per hectare and thus ensures better nutrient uptake
FertiSpot can also be used to apply under-root fertiliser in classic band application, if desired
